On a recent trip to New Hampshire, Hillary knew she could get a great cup of coffee at White Mountain Cafe in Gorham. What she didnt expect was that a five-minute stop would turn into an in-depth conversation about one of the most important issues of her campaign. What do you get when Hillary talks to people about their real problems and concerns? Real ideas.
It started when Hillary met a retired school nurse, who talked about the challenges she faced taking care of kids in the areachallenges that went beyond helping a sick child.
I fed a lot of kids, I clothed a lot of kids. Putting Band-Aids on kids was just a little, teeny tiny part of my job. It was more making sure that they were ready to be there and learn. Because if theyre hungry or tired or not supported, then they dont learn.
Hillary asked if there was anything the school could do to make it better, and a high school teacher chimed in with some ideas about the kind of support that will help teachers help their students get a world-class educationfrom creating support networks for educators to helping them stay up-to-date on new teaching methods....
Before long, everyone was taking part in the conversation. And everyone agreed: There is nothing more important than helping our kids get off to the best possible start in lifeand giving them an opportunity to succeed. Its an issue thats helped shape Hillarys life and career. And before she had to go to her next event, she was able to answer one important question.

It's also about critical thinking, and the sharing and expansion of our common knowledge.
And drawing our own informed conclusions about who we want to be and where we want to go.
