Letters to the Editor - May 2007

RE: Dr. Mayme Clayton

To the Editor:
This is astounding! This reassures me of my conclusions that there are numerous materials and works out there all over the U.S. I’d like to know the best way to began an incredible path to collect and uncover priceless historical material such as those of Dr. Mayme Clayton. Reading this article is celebratory!

RE: Reflections on A February Birthday

To the Editor:
I agree passion can be instilled in others. Teachers tell me “they catch it from me.” An entire Reading System for Struggling Readers grew out of my passion to have all children become literate and it never felt like work. I am passionate that schools are responsible for bringing struggling readers into literacy.

Your children are lucky to have the bound volumes of Education Update.

RE: The Tragedy and Triumph of Facing Muscular Dystrophy: The Story of Charley

To the Editor:
I stumbled across this site while researching for a class. Just this past Wednesday, I lost a 15- year-old student to Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy. He died of congestive heart failure. My student was known for his huge, bright, and warm smile. He was first diagnosed with DMD when he was about 8 years old and began using a wheelchair at age 10. He had limited use of his hands but was able to hold onto a pencil to color and draw. He played on a baseball team formed by the Miracle League, a chance to participate in an All-American favorite game.

Prior to teaching this child this year, my knowledge on DMD was extremely limited. Like Tracy Seckler, I had to do some research to educate myself on the illness so I could provide the best care and instruction possible for this child.

I appreciate this article and wish this family the best. It was perfect timing for me!

RE: The Bard College Prison Initiative

To the Editor:
What a great concept! I am the fiance to Ralph Bucky Phillips (accused of killing one NY State Trooper & wounding two others) Too bad this type program is not available at the Clinton Correctional Facility. Thank you for the information.

To the Editor:
I am a teacher in MA and have been for twenty years. I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic and have been clean and sober for twenty-five years. I am interested in possibly teaching in the prison system and would appreciate information.
