...editors: Re: “The Uninformed Vote,” editorial, Nov. 15. You are correct in your claim that costs should always be taken into account when evaluating measures to reduce such things as greenhouse gas emissions.

...merits of a core curriculum is the assurance of an encompassing education, yet the freedom to choose would give students a more accurate—and hence more encompassing—picture of the real world. An encompassing education is one that would take into account the complexity of the world instead of alienating students from it. There is no perfect model of an “educated person;” therefore, there is no “correct” set of knowledge to impart. The addition of electives and the ability to pursue a secondary field...
