As a class of American History students at Robert E. Lee High School here in Baton Rouge, we respectfully disagree with the tone of your editorial. While we understand that our state school system has its problems, we would like to encourage Mr. Ball to take a more positive approach to his concerns. We encourage Mr. Ball, as well as any other concerned citizens, to become more involved by visiting local schools. After visiting, schools become personal and not just names and numbers. We think you would realize that the students in Baton Rouge wish nothing but the best for their own future as well as Louisiana's future. We wish to see the positive changes we are sure you also wish to see in our schools.
