LETTERS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I absolutely LOVED your article “Same teacher, differ- ent class means different re- sults” in the November 2009 California Educator about the teacher who taught in Walnut Creek and Rich- mond.

You keep us abreast of proposed and cur- California Teachers Association November 2009 Volume 14 Issue 3 rent legislation, federal, state and local.

Thank you for a first-class publication — chock-full of wonderful color photos of educators and students in action through- out our beautiful, currently ailing state.
