AFT NCLBlog

Congrats to Mike Petrilli of the Fordham Foundation on the birth of his son, Niccolo Hugh! While it's an unusual name, I actually had a Niccolo when I taught school who reminded me to never underestimate the mind of a twelve year old. My sixth grade English class was reading The Tao of Pooh, and I asked for some examples of philosophical questions. Niccolo responded, "You know what I often think about Miss McLaughlin? If not this, then what?" Pretty impressive. I'm sure Niccolo Hugh will also have a great mind, like his father and, presumably, his mother. Mazel tov!
