Editor, Daily News:
I'm very disappointed at the "School's out" cartoon you printed in the June 13 editorial page.
To imply that students in this county and elsewhere throughout the United States "don't have to learn anything in school" is an insult to all of the hard-working and dedicated teachers who spend a great deal of time and effort during the school year to deliver the best possible education to their students.
If you or any of your staff would ever take the time to visit the local schools and see what is taking place, I'm sure you would regret publishing such a negative cartoon.
I was an elementary school principal for 32 years in Connecticut, and at the end of each school year I made a concerted effort to thank all of my staff and volunteers for the great job they did with the children all year long.
It is unfortunate that your editorial staff didn't choose to recognize the teachers of the Collier County schools in a similar fashion for all they've done for the pupils this past year.
