Student Opinions

The student responses to the question regarding L.A. schools Supt. Ruben Zacarias (Voices, Nov. 6) were very impressive. Considering the issue involved, their comments remained thoughtful, focused and objective in tone. This level of expression reflects the quality of teaching to which these students are being exposed.

Now that Zacarias is stepping down, let us move toward rehabilitating this district, with a fair amount of attention given to attracting and maintaining good teachers. We can begin this process by placing teacher salaries on par with others of comparable status and by according our educators the respect that they deserve.
