  Support child and school

  Since when did supporting your child's neighborhood school become a reason for others to call names and inspire such venom (story Jan. 24)? I would be thrilled to read that every high school in town had 500-plus parents show up to support their school, as Bullard did. Calling names and using slurs to make your point is immature and unproductive.

  It is time for parents to take back the responsibility for their child's success. Support and improve your child's school, and rejoice when others do the same.

• Bring on the 'Doc'

  Bring on the 'Doc'

  A paid advertisement in Sunday's Bee states as one of its key points that "The standards of dress and discipline never have been worse at Bullard and Tenaya."

  Former Clovis Unified District Superintendent Floyd "Doc" Buchanan is among the supporters of this ad. Dr. Buchanan served as superintendent of Walnut Creek schools until leaving in 1962 to come to Clovis. Walnut Creek Elementary was a "feeder school" to Acalanes High School and/or Las Lomas High School, components of the Acalanes High School District of which my father, Neil Parsons, was superintendent.

  Dr. Buchanan and my father must have shared many ideas on how to best run a school district. The dress code in the Acalanes District was simple, effective and just. As to discipline, students who behaved as described in this ad were expelled immediately, never to return.
