Education: What about our future?; Money belongs in public schools Milwaukee may seem destined to gain innovative schools, but it is not because innovation is hard to come by. The real issue in education, as I see it, was not addressed by a Jan. 19 editorial at all ("Measure of charter schools should be whether they work"). For-profit educators are taking money from public schools. The Journal Sentinel can barely edge up to this issue, let alone accept it. I would address attention to an article featured in a recent Shepherd Express issue titled "Shining Light on the Edison Project." I find it reprehensible that our children are being used as pawns in political gambits that have nothing to do with their education and everything to do with a buck. What I would suggest to the Journal Sentinel is that the buck stop here. Ultimately, our children will be the ones who will pay the price for this insanity. Deborah Graf Wauwatosa; Positive efforts in negative light What reason can the Journal Sentinel offer to derail every initiative that attempts to improve Milwaukee's education system? I have tracked stories published by the paper during the past year, and every initiative that has been raised that might assist in improving the quality of our schools has been reported in a negative light. For example, after years of teachers and the public at large mandating that students have basic skills instead of simply being pushed through the system, the state finally implemented mandated basic skills or "high stakes" testing. However, the Journal Sentinel has attempted to scare the public with front-page headlines implying that it actually hurts students. Not only is this an erroneous assertion, it also undermines the progress that we might see on this initiative. The same could be said of the recent charter school initiatives. I cannot recall one positive story about charter schools in our hometown paper. Having personally worked in the charter school area, I can tell you that there are many teachers, parents and students who are absolutely enthralled with their charter schools and the positive results that these schools are having on students who might otherwise have had no opportunity to succeed. Why the Journal Sentinel would paint such initiatives as failures without concentrating on their actual successes is perplexing and inexplicable. The same could be said of school choice how absurd that some parents might actually have some freedom in choosing to what school they send their children. Can the Journal Sentinel really be so unwilling to see the efforts teachers, parents, school boards and school administrators are trying to make? Matthew A. Koch Milwaukee; What are students learning today? So those who wrote the new high school graduation test think that reading a laundry label constitutes mastery over English! When I retired from teaching English, my students were reading "Macbeth" and "Hamlet," great American and British novels, short stories and poetry. The writers of the test have revealed their own ignorance. Why not give students a quotation from great literature to interpret something more inspiring than a T-shirt label? Mary E. Schutz Milwaukee; Let officials take their test With regard to the state standards in education, I think Gov. Tommy Thompson, Lt. Gov. Scott McCallum, state schools superintendent John Benson and the rest of the members of the Council on Model Academic Standards should serve as role models for all of the public school students by taking the rigorous test they created ("Sample questions imply rigorous graduation test," Jan. 14). However, there would have to be some stipulations. They couldn't transfer to a private school in an attempt to side-step the 14-hour exam. Nor could they legislate more public funds for vouchers if they should fail one of the four sections. They couldn't threaten to close the school system if they failed on their second attempt and, most certainly, they could not, if they continued to stumble, increase local taxes to build poorly performing institutions, such as new baseball stadiums. Jack Melka New Berlin; Kids need careers, not just jobs It should come as no surprise that School to Work is flunking ("School to Work gets poor grade in study," Jan. 19). Our youth should be steered toward careers and higher education, not just jobs. Who determines which students are not college-bound? While partnerships with businesses, job shadowing and such can help broaden students' horizons, the goal should be to turn these students on to college. A part of the money allocated to the School to Work program would have been better spent on removing the myriad barriers that many students particularly students of color face in attaining a higher education. What about spending some of those dollars to finance college tours, scholarship research and other things to help these "not-college-bound" students open their eyes to college? It's sad commentary about our city to see that we would rather have our youth work at backbreaking jobs than expose them to the possibilities of college and careers. While those students who desire vocational and technical careers should be encouraged to pursue those goals advancement in these careers can be fueled by a college degree, as well we must not forget the importance of pointing all of our youth to higher education and its benefits.
