Mailbag: Teachers, board should keep talking

She has always been an eager learner and an active participant in her own education; fortunately, these qualities were recognized by her teachers (most of whom are excellent, challenging and knowledgeable) who have spurred her on to high academic achievement.

Glendale High School has an underserved reputation for being too big, too crowded and, as sad I am to say it, not as "good" as some of the other high schools in the Glendale Unified School District.

Many of my colleagues, whom I respect as teachers in their own right, have sent their own children to Glendale High.

They too were completely satisfied and are still great supporters of the school and the students who go there.

Parents who are engaged in their child's education, as well as augmenting it outside of school, are a big part of scholastic success.

Naturally, the student is also a responsibly party in participating above and beyond the call of duty in their own education.

Teacher who put as much dignity into teaching as the teachers my child has had, deserve acknowledgment, praise and all the best rewards society has to offer them.
