Harold McGraw III & McGraw-Hill Increase Financial Literacy For Teachers & Students
To the Editor:
This is a great article. It is true that “ for many years our nation has treated financial literacy as an educational afterthought.” We need to teach kids about money as early as possible. See how @Enchanted Collar teaches kids about financial literacy using games and storytelling.

Professor Dennis Dalton, Barnard College: Living an “Examined” Life
To the Editor:
I find the CD presentation by Dalton exceptional...which I purchased from online teaching. The presentations on Plato’s philosophy has helped my understanding. Reality does transcend the material realm.

Profiles in Education: Nane Annan
To the Editor:
Excellent article about UN Sec. General Kofi Annan’s wife, Nane. I am amazed that she is an international court judge while being able to raise two interracial children. As an African-American, I know that it is a fact that with both parents of African descent, bi-racial children have it the worst in America even with the election of the first African-American president, Barack Obama, who happens to be biracial (African and European himself). I hope Obama’s and Ms. Annan’s inspiration to change the world’s view of the oppressed (including girls, women and children of all races) will affect change of the status quo in America.

Professor Ofelia Garcia Speaks Out In Favor of Bilingual Education
To the Editor:
In my point of view professor Ofelia Garcia is correct. In EaglePass since we are on the border we have a lot of kids that don’t speak English. And to me they should be able to have bilingual education. I would like more information about this case.
