Dear editor,
I had the pleasure of having Nancy Goldberg as a teacher at Culver City High School almost a decade ago. After four years of undergraduate education and two years of law school, she is still the best teacher I have ever had. And no teacher has prepared me for that journey more than she has. Over the years, she has been a teacher, counselor, mentor and friend – as I know she has been to thousands of students over the years.
When I got the news that she was retiring from teaching, I was saddened that future students would miss out on her guidance and passion, but now I realize that as a member of the board of education, she can have an effect on not a hundred students at a time, but thousands. I know that she will bring the same passion for her students, which she has demonstrated over years of teaching to her role as a board member and, as she has in the past, will continue to dedicate herself to the best interests of the students and the students alone.
I wholeheartedly endorse Nancy Goldberg for the board of education.
