(Letter to the Editor ~ 01/24/10)
To the Editor: Mostly, this letter is my opinion, but I feel that it needs to be known. I love small schools for the one on one attention that the students get. The only downfall from small schools is the "name game.' My daughters play basketball on the fifth- and seventh-grade teams.

Open letter to school board, public
(Column ~ 01/24/10)
Our student drop out problem is a destructive aspect of the educational process in our schools.
