Researchers arrogant

How arrogant, insensitive and self-centered those Johns Hopkins University so-called researchers are! (“Schools reject dropout risk study,” Nov. 5)

What better way to lower a teenager’s self-esteem than to declare the school they attend as a “dropout factory.” A good school like Cusick High School and other small schools don’t need this demeaning label.
