The Miami Herald’s reporting on Israel’s attacks on Gaza is unbalanced. The paper makes it sound as if Israel is the aggressor. Actually, this is retaliation for more than 200 incoming rockets in the past week that were not reported.
All schools within 25 miles of Gaza are closed indefinitely. Sderot’s recreation center became a shelter for 1,800 people. Most babies in southern Israel learn the Hebrew words for “incoming rocket” before they can say “mommy” and “daddy.”

As a district coordinator for a tutoring company that received an ‘excellent’ rating from the Florida Department of Education (DOE) for the 10 years that we have been providing services in Florida, I must respond to the May 12 article Fight over money for tutoring went down to the wire.
Another innocent child has died because of the blatant incompetence of the Florida Department of Children & Families. The little arms of Rilya Wilson and Nubia Barahona have stretched out to embrace the latest victim of neglect, infant Bryan Osceola.
I am always proud of the Silver Knight nominees from Miami-Dade County. When the winners are printed in The Miami Herald, the categories, from art to world languages, can be easily read. But even with the best of bifocals, I need a high-power magnifier to read the students’ names. The Herald should print the names a little larger to honor these outstanding students more fully.
