Support for Schools
The following plea was received at the UCLA Biology Department from a local junior high schoolteacher:
“We . . . are in desperate need of microscope slides with tissue specimens. We have no money to order things and are having a difficult time teaching biology without microscope specimens. Please help us.”
What a pitiful comment on our educational situation! Worse yet, we at the university are not in a strong position either and have no extra materials to share. This is additional evidence in the need for increased support of our public schools; they are, in fact, our future.
