TO THE EDITORS:

I know lots of people who, like me, went to one-room schools. Can't say I know anyone who didn't get ahead, with hard work and determination.

It's hard to believe, with 30 students in one room, with one teacher, in a simple building, not the spread-out buildings we must have today, to heck with the cost.

Maybe it has to do with the teachers' unions needing more dues-paying members and the school board members can say, "Look what we built."

Who are these students who look at a plain, simple building and say, "How am I going to learn anything in there"?
