As a veteran basketball fan and Huntington native who remembers Warsaw-Huntington barnburners of years ago, I appreciate the Warsaw tradition and that of Hoosier State basketball in general. Never taunt anyone, the opposing team, the referees, the fans, the coaches or anyone else in the building. It has never been nor will it ever be acceptable. Just enjoy the game and try to do a better job of representing the proud tradition of your community than you did last week. I thought the readers might be interested in the following which was quoted in Warsaw Christian School's weekly newsletter to parents last spring.
Smaller schools promote learning and are able to offer a strong core curriculum.
Larger schools are not more efficient. A 1996 study by Valerie Lee and Julie Smith reported that large schools are actually more expensive because their sheer size requires more administrative support. More important, additional bureaucracy translates into less flexibility and innovation. While size is only one factor in determining that quality education is achieved, according to these researchers it has a positive effect on other factors that also are important in producing that result. This is in response to Mr. Diablo's letter on the reason for the season.
