[Woodcarver] RE David W.

David,
It is good news to hear of a school like your with your kind of teaching. I 
do fear, however, that it is more the exception than the rule.  Our schools 
here as everywhere are in a real crunch, and it seems the first thing they 
want to toss are the arts, with music.   It infuriates me that they can't 
see how they are needed to round out lives.  But they will manage to keep 
all coaches, and bus a very few chosen athletes all over the country to 
games, and have a first class gymnasium.  Oh dear, there is another pet 
peeve.  Sorry.
Warren, we need all schools to have what your's does, and we need to reward 
and keep exceptional teachers with better pay.
