I would like to begin this letter by saying congratulations to the Lind-Ritzville FFA Chapter, and their FFA Advisors for their many accomplishments at State FFA.

It was amazing to see so many of our FFA students onstage being recognized for their a...

This topic is not something new but rather something I have considered many times during my career in education. Often times we use phrases like, in the good ole days, or we used to, or when I was a child. I wonder if (insert one of the phrases I just mentioned) we used to be able to have debates and disagreements over issues in a better way.
