LTE: The Grade Is Not the Cake. It Is the Toothpick.

Dr. Gearl Loden’s recent letter in these pages mentions me by name, which surprised me, since we have never met. For readers now picturing someone seven feet tall with horns: I am five-foot-nine (and a half). I grew up in a small town outside St. Louis, was the first in my family to graduate from college, on a scholarship to Washington University, and began my career teaching in high-poverty schools. A good education changed the course of my life. I have spent the years since working so that every Missouri child gets the same chance.
