Miss Cellania's Comments

Some of us are old enough to remember when all computer text was green ascii on a black background. We were jubilant when we finally got to look at something that reembled a real book or newspaper.

Look at the big picture. What happened to smallpox? Millions of people died from it, but it's gone. Polio was terrifying, and it's almost gone. Why? Because we developed vaccines.

The size of the school makes a lot of difference. I graduated from a very small school in 1976. We had one foreign language class (French 1) and no AP classes. Vocational students had to ride a bus to the next town. I took mostly the same classes as everyone else- all 35 of us that graduated together.

There's a place for highways, to get people from town to town fast, but city streets should be for the people who live there. Wider roads and faster traffic in town mean fewer sidewalks. Houses are built further back from the street, not only for safety but because the road might be widened in the future. That means big useless front yards and neighbors living further away from each other, and people are less likely to get out and walk. That's the way to isolate people from their community.
