Some will bring tears to your eyes. Here is my favorite, a fan letter from a high school teacher:  “I think perhaps there can be no higher compliment to you than to tell you how much feeling my students have for you. After 17 years, I know it is remarkable if a student could tell me the color of his math book — to say nothing of knowing who authored it. The Saxon students trust you and work hard and do well for themselves, for me, and for Mr. Saxon.”·-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"SUPPORT  EDUCATION  REFORM"Please help me improve K-12...Americans should have great public schools.
