Letter to the editor: Opposing viewpoints
Reading the Roundtable this morning, I am struck by two articles on Evanston’s two school districts, each one suggesting an outcome heading in the opposite direction. On the one hand, we have a report about ETHS doing well in a national ranking of high schools, and on the other, we have a (very discouraging) analysis about the contract for the new District 65 superintendent that fails to set any standards to be met in terms of student progress and achievement.

Student protesters reach a deal with Northwestern University that sparks criticism from all sides
CHICAGO (AP) — For five days, Northwestern University’s Deering Meadow rang with the shouts of student protesters and supporters joining demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses nationwide.
