		<description><![CDATA[Unquestionably, kids can get a good education in School District 51. Many people, including myself, are living proof of this.
I graduated from Palisade High School in 2000 and received my bachelor&#8217;s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Colorado in 2005.  I felt that I was adequately prepared for the rigorous scholastics required [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do I continue to subscribe to The Daily Sentinel? It’s the little “humorous” characters that intrigue me. One trumpets a Harvard study that empirically tested his favorite notion that public criticism of U.S. policy in Iraq encourages insurgents there and emboldens terrorists worldwide. That study found a small but measurable cost to open public [...]]]></description>

Did you know prairie dogs have a high-pitched, bark-like call. Studies suggest that prairie dogs possess the most sophisticated of all natural animal languages. They issue different sounds identifying various predators, which include hawks, owls, eagles, ravens, coyotes, badgers, ferrets and snakes.

The adults involved with schools are the ones who should be held accountable for declining test scores, not the children. That’s everybody from the school board on down to the classroom teachers and parents.
