To the Editor:
I am sympathetic with the [School District of Philadelphia] teachers for having their contract cancelled, but I do feel that they should pay their share of medical premiums. I am an 80-year-old senior, and in all cases in my career, I have contributed a portion of my salary each week to my health [insurance].
People like to blame the state government, while the culprit is the local government. They always blame someone else before taking responsibility for their own misgivings. As far as the students who have been protesting goes, they should use their energy for studying. Oh to go back to my days in the 1940s and ’50s when these situations did not exist!
