Thank you for writing this story. What makes it excellent is that the author has described several outstanding educators who have been associated with the Boston Public Schools. It's easy to dismiss the quality of education in our city. It's done all the time. But this article pays tribute not only to Muniz but to other visionaries who have stayed the course and remained dedicated to helping children learn and thrive. We need more stories like this. In these parlous times, in this era of doubt and fear, reading about public figures who successfully serve can lift our spirits and show us the way to a meaningful future. There are many folks who belong to our "village." Let's hear more about them.
