The day John F. Kennedy was assassinated is one of those days that, for those who were alive then, can remember precisely where we were when the news broke on Nov. 22, 1963. Where were you? I was only a 7-year-old tyke, sitting in my third-grade classroom at Hattiesburg’s historic Eureka Elementary School. My teacher’s name was Della Ruth Jones and, that’s right, she was my mother. But I had to address her as “Mrs. Jones” in the classroom.

I’m not sure what I can add to this conversation that hasn’t already been said about the new School Choice legislation introduced this session. What I can offer is the perspective of a proud public-school graduate, raised by two public-school teachers, now raising a proud fourth grader at Woodley Elementary. My husband is also a product of public schools, and we credit that experience with much of the success we enjoy today.
