Information provided by daily newspapers is helpful in forming opinions.
Recent stories point to the rewards of pursuing the path to a secure future by taking advantage of public education. One paper listed the valedictorians of both public and private schools in our area, most of whom have earned a 4.0 or better grade point average. Of those being honored by public schools, 2.34 percent had a GPA below 4.0. Those in private schools under the 4.0 GPA totalled 12.5 percent. We hear needless bad-mouthing of public education by those with an agenda based on hearsay and bias as to the qualifications of teachers.
