In reference to the violence in schools that has been of prime concern, there is a story that I would like to share with your readers. That idea is so sensible that it is difficult to understand why people accept President's Bush's too simplistic idea that teachers must be held accountable to a national testing program. Classrooms are the place for testing. Professional teachers should be the testers, not politicians. Teachers should test students.
Accountability is a daily thing.
Teachers are accountable to their students and the students' parents, not to politicians. Hugh C. Lord, Enfield, Maine Lord is a retired teacher. Here's a little bit of country wisdom I know that by penning this letter, I am going to be called some kind of derogatory name by the kind gentleman at River Valley Ford. I am hoping that maybe enough of us morons, Neanderthals, Democrats, and even Republicans over here in the backwoods of Delaware County will expose ourselves to his belittlements or maybe get him to stop attacking folks for having opinions different from his. Most of us farm kids were not raised to attack others because of their politics or opinions and personally I would never do business with someone who would.
