This was in the days when Massachusetts rolled out their standardized MCAS testing. Harvard was, at the time and for a brief time, the top-ranked public school system in Massachusetts.
Coincidence? I think not. ;)
In all seriousness, it was satisfying and gratifying. As an elected official, I felt a real responsibility to represent the perspectives of folks I didn't even necessarily agree with, and I developed a reputation of being extremely balanced and fair (to my kids' endless amusement).
The only part I didn't enjoy was contract negotiations with the teacher's union. I participated in two. One went well -- the other one was painful and protracted.
I won't apologize for bragging a bit about this -- it is one of the more worthwhile things I've done in my life, and I am rather proud of it.
Plus, I got to hand each of our two kids their diplomas at their HS graduations. :)
all the best,
mrh
