I don't actually write a lot of letters to the editor ( five maybe over a lifetime?) but every one of them has been published. When I was teaching in Victoria I saw what a great difference our alternative school could make for some students who just couldn't be successful in a traditional school setting.
I would like to express my congratulations to the graduates of the Maplewood Alternative High School. It was an inspiring and joyful story that lifted my spirits in these dismal times. The determination and exuberance these students expressed will serve them very well in the challenges to come.
I wish them all the very best.
