“on Monday of this week I had the opportunity to join Deputy Education Secretary Madeline Kunin and members of the Rhode Island congressional delegation in a most exciting and worthwhile education day in my home State. I call it an education day not simply because of the education events that took place but because of the immense amount of education each of us received that day. We began with a visit to the Grove Elementary School in East Providence. That school is literally in love with learning, and it is a love that extends to and involves everyone--administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Parents are very involved in the education of their children at Grove Elementary. They are an integral part of the very management of the school and the educational programs it offers. Administrators and teachers are enthusiastic, not only about their jobs but also about having a strong working relationship with parents and a close involvement in the teaching of the children who attend Grove Elementary.”
