Lindbergh’s literacy crisis is not just happening to a select few students from disadvantaged families. The ineffective curriculum is having devastating results for over 40% of all kids in the district. Mine included. It’s impossible to pick out the struggling reader from the dyslexic.

I have read John Stephens letter in the South County Times of Nov. 25. Mr. Stephens, you have gotten my dander up. I will speak my piece. I quote you:
Thanks for Don Corrigan’s article about the history of Grant’s Trail (SCT, Dec. 13 issue).
Recently, as a resident and taxpayer of the Lindbergh School District I received a copy of the Fall 2019 edition of “Lindbergh Link.” An article titled, “LHS Field Improvements ....this Fall” states $1.56 million will be spent for new synthetic turf of the football and soccer fields through …
The residents of Sunset Hills breathed a collective sigh of relief when the board and mayor responded to resident pressure and reversed part of the flawed zoning proposal to reduce lot sizes in Sunset Hills — a community whose primary assets are large lots and estate style homes. What irony!…
I applaud the two letters in the November 8-14 issue affronting recent letters about President Trump’s disrespect for Congress.
No matter if we are Pro-Trumpers or Never–Trumpers, we should respect those who devote their lives to the security of our nation. It disturbs me deeply when military heroes like John McCain and dedicated members of the Foreign Service are vilified for political gain.
I would like to thank those readers who have written letters either in favor of what President Trump has achieved or have disputed what some people are saying. It takes a lot of courage to voice your opinion when so many people are not able to find anything good in what he has accomplished.
Mr. Walsh (“Trump Backers Can’t Complain About Dems,” South County Times Nov. 15, 2019 issue) is not the first person I have seen express outrage at Mitch McConnell’s saying that his goal was to ensure that Barack Obama be a one-term president. Isn’t that the way our system works? When a new…
In regards to the Nov. 15 editorial “Character & Integrity On Display,” whatever point Don Corrigan was trying to make about the patriotism of Laura Cooper was overshadowed by sexist, antiquated attitudes.
There have been a lot of violent tragedies around the nation these past few years. Many different people blame many different things. One such thing being blamed are video games. I am what one might call a gamer, and so I know a lot about these video games. I am writing to dispel the blame t…
Thank you for printing the article about dyslexia (“Parents Call For Changes To Dyslexia Support,” South County Times Nov. 1 issue).
I have to offer a rebuttal of the letter criticizing Trump’s comments on the ISIS raid. My guess is that the reader has been “offended” since the day Trump was elected, and nothing he accomplishes will appease her. Just what do you want from this man? He’s hardly perfect. He’ll never be a po…
In a letter in the Nov. 1 issue titled “President’s ‘Complete Disrespect’ For Congress,” the writer is upset that our president didn’t advise Congress about the pending secret raid to take out the ISIS leader, but did advise Putin of Russia and Erdogan of Turkey.
Well, Donald Trump didn’t advise the Gang of 8 about the military raid.
I just wanted to share something as we enter the busy Holiday season. I was at Kohl’s waiting for my daughter by the dressings rooms when I spotted a little old lady frantically going through a large bundle of clothes.
Ever since Mid American Coaches discontinued commuter service, people are stuck with no other means of transportation to go to either Eureka or Union, except by car.
It’s taken me this long to send a comment on your fine thinking and writing from the Oct. 18 South County Times. I so enjoyed Don Corrigan’s column: “Love St. Louis & Share The Love.
A recent letter condemned anyone who buys a dog from a breeder rather than adopting one from a local shelter. I missed the column that prompted this tirade, but as a longtime purebred dog owner, I felt the need to reply.
Thank you Dana Saylor, for sharing the article called “Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth” (Sept. 20 Mailbag). The one interesting part, near the end of the article says, “While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, it is also the chief culpri…
The internet, twitter, television, newspapers, magazines, et al. are replete with news stories concerning the coming impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. As Trump and his Republican lackies squirm and spew a plethora of concocted Democrat conspiracy and coup theories, credible informati…
With all due respect to Ms. Gibson McCarthy and her new puppy, Molly, it is irresponsible to publish a column promoting the purchase of a dog from a breeder.
