I feel it is totally irresponsible reporting, your decision to promote the Las Vegas furniture market issue just in time for all the market goers to have their noses rubbed in it. No, just another chance to stir up controversy and sell newspapers, without regard for the overall implications. Today, with certain issues the children face, that extra nourishment in instructional food is imperative. I wonder if education has become so political that test scores outweigh quality of education. They just don't lead lines to the cafeteria or restroom, perform bus duties or any other things most uninformed feel they do.
Assistants also bang their brains to develop learning outlets to aid the students' learning process.
They, too, have to take the good with the bad days but continue with the mission to educate. I have seen the rewards of children advancing in intellect as a result of the extra force. Teachers not only educate, but they have part in the teaching of respect, of life and self-control. So by assistants aiding teachers, fewer children slip through the cracks without absorbing knowledge in the process of becoming future productive adults. Through the years, assistants, I can honestly say, have helped me develop into an intelligent young adult today.
