I wanted to reply with a joke about the Jordan-led Wizards of the early 2000's but not even Google seems to have a picture of Rip Hamilton, Jerry Stackhouse, & MJ together. How was I going to tie it back to education you ask?

Thanks Joe!
My wife Jill always reminds me that any country that out-educates us will out-compete us. Our teachers must have the resources they need & the wages they deserve so that America will continue to lead the world. Great speech today on this from @rweingarten. aft.org/freedomtoteach
