To the Editor:
I just saw the documentary “Small Wonders.” This was so inspiring and beautiful that I had to look up more about this instructor and where she teaches. I found that information in Education Update. It would be nice to hear more stories about her and her students—especially on where they will be playing in the future.

Response to: Inclusion Program at Francis Lewis HS

To the Editor:
Your article was most informative and leaves me to think you truly believe in the Special Ed child as a contributing member of the main- stream population. Do you actually have a Special Ed Curriculum, one where the inclusion setting is all laid out for the general ed and special ed teachers? Or, are all the mods & adaptations IEP driven?

Response to: Unrest in Education in France: Teachers on Strike

To the Editor:
I am in complete agreement with you. I am
a schoolteacher in the United States. Privatization and regional controls often lead to ulterior monetary motives and provincial influences antithetical to a more broad-based pan-o-centric education. The discipline problems experienced in public schools in America (and a total dearth of free health care for children and teachers) may be just one reflection of the chaotic mish-mash arising from regionalization.

Response to: Life on the Color Line, by Gregory Howard Williams

To the Editor:
As an employee of City College I have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Williams personally. He is an incredible human being and extremely intelligent. His book deeply touched me. He is truly an inspiration and living proof that anyone, no matter where they come from or what they are faced with, can achieve their goals and dreams if they really want to.
