' OUR VIEWS High schoolers mature enough for war coverage

In this day and age when too many parents are all too willing to cede responsibility for their children to teach­ ers, school officials should be lauded for forcing that responsibility back where it belongs Still, we think Plymouth-Canton Schools Superintendent Jim Ryan went a step too far in that direction when he decided to withhold live coverage of a potential war with Iraq from students in the district In a letter sent to all parents, Ryan said no live radio or television would be allowed in K-12 classrooms, citing the graphic nature of television these days Ryan acknowledged his decision would probably anger teachers at Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, who “believe it would be very appropriate for their curriculum to be showing it” Those teachers are correct While we agree with Ryan’s general sentiment that par­ ents should decide what their children should see on tele­ vision, it seems more important to us that students who are studying history shouldn’t be sheltered from history ..... m the making ELIZABETH CARNEGIE | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Allowing students to watch and learn as the war hap­ pens enhances the education experience by allowing Craig Dahl, from (eft, Dave Koehler and Audrey Ofenzek hold signs protesting abortion in front of Mercy High School Saturday The protest was part of the frank and open discussion of current events as they hap­ uproar over Mercy's decision first to eliminate, then reinstate lunch with Gov Jennifer Granholm as part of its auction items pen It seems a bit counterproductive to us to hamstring a teacher’s ability to delve into the events of a national cri­ sis by not letting students have access to information vital LETTERS to any such teaching Ryan is trying to be responsive to concerns expressed Thanks, friends, firefighters Cheer thanks be changed from industrial to residential I by parents who think children already watch too much would suggest that some of the property be In the early morning hours on Congratulations to the Salem Co-Ed made into recreational property or a park television in classrooms But there’s a big difference Saturday, Feb 1, my husband and I Cheer Team They placed fourth m the This is always a need m file Plymouth com­ between watching history unfold and watching an Austin awoke to an unimaginable horror Our nation at the 2003 National Cheer Team munity and it is a rare opportunity to have Powers videotape electric blanket had shorted out and Championship in Orlando, Fla.

^ a k e Som eone's Day!

W hen is the last tim e you told som eone that they m ade your day ? When we give someone an honest weii deserved compliment such as this it is also a blessing to us it makes us aware of those who have been a positive influence in our daily lives ironically the best way to make someone s day* is to tell them how helpful they have been to you and that you appreciate their friendship it seems we often forget to tell those who are closest to us that we value and enjoy their company When it comes to praisinq people there is usually nothing wrong with doing it in the presence of others People don t usually like to toot their own horn “ so if we can do it for them by praising their actions it usually will give them encouragement Conversely if you must criticize someone it is almost always best to do that in private making sure that the other person knows that you still value them despite your criticism God wants us to use kind words which validate our fellow human beings and to practice His Golden Rule of doing for others what you want them to do for you There Is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
