Job well done

To the editor:

Kudos to Lindsey Slater and the Journal-World for the article about how teachers at New York School have had an exceptionally positive impact on a particular family. Although Jim Rome, John Bode and Kim Gamble are mentioned by name, I’m sure similar stories could have been written about Lawrence teachers at other levels and in other schools. Educational opportunities for kids in Lawrence, whether attending public or private schools, are excellent.

Lawrence should rightfully feel proud of its teachers who, despite working for less pay than they could earn elsewhere, consistently go the extra mile for their students.

Larry Carter,
