Responding to a Know Your Rights column about teacher preparation periods (Nov. 1 issue):

I remember when we didn’t get any preps AND had lunch duty AND had to physically turn in a lesson plan book every Monday for principals to comment on and mark up in red AND many other since-rectified issues.

As the old Virginia Slims commercial used to say, “We’ve come a long way, baby!” Thank you!
