They&#8217;ve described a school that should be a delight to the eyes if not the safety of students trying to park their cars. I hope for the sake of Duluth that the school is a delight and that my concerns for safety are overblown.<\/p>\n<p>The Trib has to try to rehabilitate their tattered credibility by persuading us that the new schools were worth everything we sacrificed to have them built. Good luck with that. I feel no need to link to the story. Go to the library if you must and read it there.<\/p>\n<p>For my part I spent my day with my visiting brother from Missouri and at a birthday party for my grandson. Blogging simply took a back seat. I did get an interesting email from a friend who made a few caustic comments about the Trib. She mentioned that KBJR did a story a few days ago about how medical folks had discovered that smart boards were hard on our children&#8217;s eyes. (This is another television report on the same phenomena) <\/p>\n<p>What do I know? I wear glasses which is par for the course for kids who are literate and who read from a tender age. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myopia.org\/\">According to some<\/a>, reading put glasses on hundred&#8217;s of thousands of us and is still doing it.  Of course, if a decade from now I hear reports about the eye problems of our Duluth children I will happily lay them at the feet of Dr. Dixon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I looked at the Trib&#8217;s pretty pics of the new East High School.
