...editors: Re: “A Tarnished Opal,” editorial, Apr. 27. I am a parent who toured Harvard with my daughter. I remember exactly where I was standing when the guide told us that the freshman class included an author who was published at age 17 and is working on her second book. My heart froze, it took my breath away. A voice inside my head said “we don’t belong here—she cannot compete with these students.” During the senior year my daughter served...

"Why is the purple guy having his skin torn off by the orange one," may be a typically unwanted and unanswerable question for a parent.

Nolan’s time in the group led her to apply her consulting skills to the school system.“I was spending a lot of time looking...
This may come as a surprise, but I and many of my teacher colleagues don't believe in compulsory education. We'd much rather spend our precious time and resources on students who want to be in the classroom. We cannot afford to be surrogate parents to the wayward. I observed that the parent factor was noticeably absent from your article. When parents start acting like grownups and force their children to be accountable, perhaps then things will change...
