Thank you for your letter, which the Sun's editorial department expanded into a column by breaking a lot of it into single-sentence paragraphs and adding a fat pullquote. I’m sorry that you had to bear that sort of editorial manhandling. I know what it's like to spend hours trying to refine ideas and present them logically, only to have those thoughts diced into ADD-grade fragments by someone whose principal concern is filling up space.
Bill, what a great job of being kind while setting the record straight. You didn't even chastise the young lady for her thinking 'it's all about me' instead of the overall subject of grade inflation and watering down of excellence. She doesn't have the years on earth to understand what decades of 'slippage' does to the institution of education.
