Only Pat Nolan comments on the merits of this petition to provide accelerated learning for above average students. How many wasted lives result from this pattern of neglect. Remaining silent are the politicos of the School Committee Richard Harding and Marc McGovern who demand that the City Council elect a Mayor. Isn't that a conflict with their insistence that last year's Committee vote on the Superintendent's contract before newly elected members could vote? Wouldn't want to allow voters to have any say in that do we boyos?

Politics Ruins Schools
Unsure that Craig Kelley's assessment of Cambridge as the standard for success "in a diverse urban environment" is merited. Having elitist universities makes it more difficult to focus public attention on public secondary schools. Children of Cambridge academics mostly attend private schools and have little interest in the public schools. New York City with a population 70 times greater attracts relatively much more attention on public schools than Cambridge does. Having a zombie-like electorate which supports political tampering with school time promoting non educational political issues over basic learning is why Cambridge fails to succeed with all of its funding. The focus is political not educational. Having a Mayor who teaches bad lessons to students is only one example of why this city fails. Not even the local newspaper recognizes the problem.
