The Elkins High School Homecoming Parade last Wednesday made me think about what is being lost when we dismantle public schools. Music, sports, even higher math may be endangered. Elkins

Last week my column about city water problems ended hurriedly with these two sentences: “As frustrating as these problems may be, they cannot all be blamed on government. Every generation must work together and learn from history to solve problems using kindness (civility) and intelligence.” This week after watching school children get on a yellow bus for their first day of school, I plan to start with the above suggestions for solving our public-school problems.
