Learning By Hand: A Case for Handwriting Enhancing Reading
To the Editor:
I am a Reading and Writing Specialist and noticed that my non-readers are also my writers who cannot form letters. As I am in the process of collecting data and information on this topic as I commence my dissertation, I would be most grateful if Dr. Jay Russell could send me more research on this matter,

Assistant Principals: Crisis Management to Instructional Expertise
To the Editor:
The fact that this article was written in 2005 already says a lot. Today the role of the AP has evolved into little more than an additional person for discipline. Case in point, in NYC all constituent groups, including students and paraprofessionals were offered surveys except assistant principals.

Prison College Programs Unlock the Keys to Human Potential
To the Editor:
Iowa has no such program to help or further educate our prisoners. I agree they need further education for release. I would like to start such a program in Iowa, thank you for a positive article. Everyone deserves an education or at least access to one.
