Today's announcement of Miguel Cardona for Education Secretary reminded me how much public schools made the difference in my life.I grew up in Bedford, MA, a small town with great public schools. When my parents divorced, my mom, brother and I needed to find a new place to live.
Lucky for us, there was a new apartment complex in town, Bedford Village, that accepted S. 8 housing. We were able to stay in Bedford and I was able to get a great public education. If it weren't for Bedford Village and those great schools, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Every child deserves a great public education. It's as simple as that.
