Letter: Don't play the blame game Click here for article related to this letterTo ColumbiaMagazine.comI was wondering if the school district was going to thank the other students and teachers (the foster children, the mentally disabled or children from the detention center) for bringing up the district scores. They were quick to blame them when the last scores were low. It is sad how a community can place blame on others without first looking at themselves. Instead of playing the blame game, try and help solve the problem. s/Mike Crockett October 2, 2007 2007-10-08 05:02:32 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
