I think many problems, such as racial ones in the school system, are due to a lack of communication. A big part of the communication process is listening. We have to do a better job of listening to our parents, teachers and the business community. We have to learn to see ourselves through the eyes of others. People need the chance to listen so they have a chance to understand each other.
People communicate every day, and sometimes things are interpreted in the wrong way.
Learning to communicate is a must, the superintendent said. Safety in the school system is another important issue. Warford spoke positively about the situation in Marion County schools. An idea some students have been pursuing is the formation of a newspaper at their schools. Our new superintendent is a positive role model for any young person who has a goal of achieving the impossible against all odds.
