YOUR LETTERS

"Our view of young people is that they are polite, eager to learn, and a joy to associate with."

with contributions from Ross Atkin, Glenn McCullough, Alison Poe

Congratulations on all the work that has gone into making the Sentinel more relevant and attractive. There is much to like. I would offer one small suggestion, however, namely dropping the heading "For kids" and replacing it with "For children," "For young people," or something else that avoids "kids." I think "kids" sounds kind of playgroundy.

In a recent Sentinel on the "Items of Interest" page, it was reported that a large majority of people in the United States have a poor opinion of young people. My wife and I have both been schoolteachers and know that most of the children that we have taught have been thoughtful, kind, and a pleasure to be with.
