Column: Wausau’s public education and teachers should be celebrated
Wausau’s Independent: By Tom Kilian for Wausau Pilot & Review. Wausau’s people are its greatest asset. It is remarkable that, almost since our small city’s inception, ordinary people from Central Wisconsin have done extraordinary things. Not just locally, but around the country. Citizens born and raised here have gone on to make profound contributions to a variety of disciplines and sectors. In fact, over the years, impressive organizations throughout the country have sought out and employed Wausonians to lead some of their key efforts. While, these days, we are commonly and incorrectly told that what will make Wausau’s future successful and prosperous comes primarily from the outside rather than from within, people who were nurtured right here in town are making big positive impacts in this area and elsewhere. But how did such a large pool of talent stem from a fairly small population? A key factor was our city’s history of strong public education, along with some associated heroes of Wausau’s past: the teachers at these public institutions. Physicist Stephen Hawking said that “behind every exceptional person, there is an exceptional teacher.” This has been the case with our city.
