Dear Ann Landers, "Our school's cross-graded, multiethnic, individ-ualized learning program is designed to enhance the concept of an ANN LAN IIE KS open-ended learning program with emphasis on a continuum of mul-tiethnic, academically enriched learning, using the identified intellec-tually gifted child as the agent or director of his own learning. Major emphasis is on cross-graded, multiethnic learning with the main ob-jective being to learn respect for the uniqueness of a person." The parent responded: "
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , I've seen tremendous changes in both duties and ethics. Today, nurses must be educated and continue to keep up-to-date on technical advances and procedures. There are discoveries almost daily that affect how illness, wounds and trauma are treated. Nurses must learn how to operate newly invented devices that improve the care of patients.
Today, a nurse must be a facilitator, educator, caregiver, confessor and manager. She must also have intelligence, compassion and intuition. Years ago, the nurse fulfilled the role of what would be a nurse's assistant today. Now, nurses handle more duties so the physician can concentrate on the more complicated situations. We are no longer menial servants, as that century-old job description would indicate, but highly educated, highly skilled medical professionals working to bring the best care to each person who seeks our help.
I do not claim that nurses are one rung down from sainthood, but we're close. -- New Jersey R.N.
