The newspaper was pleased to be fed information about
exceptional teachers and students, for example; and most local
business people were willing to help in whatever way they could if
asked (and asked in the right way). I don't know about Michigan; but
educating young people just wasn't a hard sell in Minnesota.


We don't publish honor rolls any more.

We appoint valedictorians, they don't earn it.

Some places keep talking about abolishing any form of academic measurement.

Education a hard sell? Not sure we'd recognize it if it happened.
