Corrections
Due to an error in last week’s issue, the last word of the article “Whittle Attempts To Capitalize on Disaster in U.S. Education” was left out. The full sentence on page 67 should have read, “But until noble aspirations have concrete agendas which address the lack of intellectual standards, students are not safe in any of our schools, public or private.”
