I remember back in the 1980s, the Secretary of Education made some unflattering remarks about Chicago
Public Schools. As a third generation CPS student and son of two CPS teachers, I took his comments
personally. When I was a member of the state champion Academic Decathlon team, my teammates and I felt more
pride to be part of CPS than we were of just our school. Perhaps we had inflated the importance of our victory, but we felt that we had proven that the Chicago Public Schools could outpace even the finest suburban schools.
Sincerely yours,
