A Cardinal Rule
One of the cardinal rules for any young organization is to get publicity for its efforts. Without press, your organization's message and goals might be nothing more than "a wee orphan of truth, wandering the streets in search of a home" (to quote the Geico gecko). Well our wee little orphan found a home today in Palo Alto. This morning an article about our national petition campaign ran in the Stanford Daily. Though the month is only three days old you can already chalk one up for Our Education.
In keeping with the scoring theme (which seems to be the theme of the day on this blog, which is perhaps fitting given that it's Major League Baseball's Opening Day): Aaron scored a decisive victory (3-1) in the number of times quoted: scoring in the 2nd, 8th, and 17th innings (paragraphs).
Not to mix metaphors...oh, what the hell: Maybe my contribution to this article is good enough to get me nominated for best supporting actor. I can be like Judi Dench who won an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth I for six whole minutes(!) in Shakespeare in Love. With pithy lines like “Students are the primary stakeholders in education, but government representatives often don’t see them as constituents,” how could I not?
