‘Bulletin’ Breaks Space-Time Continuum

First, read this letter in today’s Evening Bulletin:

Praise For PAVCS

To the Editor:

I am single parent of two children (high school and elementary grades) who attend the Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School (Pa. Virtual Charter Schools Make Progress, Oct. 11), now going into our second year. I would like to shed some light for anyone out there who thinks this is an impossible thing to do. Well, it sure can be done! If you already share daily coaching with your child’s homework help or any other tasks necessary to encourage your child to grow educationally, then you already have what it takes to adapt to this innovative way of educating your child. The best aspect of it all is that the classroom is brought directly into your home. …

If you are interested, log on to www.pavcs.org and learn more. I assure you it’s worth the time and the effort of exploring new horizons.

Okay. Now read the one right below it?

To the Editor:

I agree with Sophia. This is not as difficult as it may seem. This is also my second year with PAVCS. My children are in sixth and eighth grades. They love it, I love it, we all love it! My children are excelling more in this program than they were in traditional brick-and-mortar school. I encourage anyone who is considering using this program to look into the pavcs Web site that Sophia provided, and I will also (www.pavcs.org). The benefits are many and the detractions are few.

It’s two letters on the same day, one of them responding to the other! How is that even possible? Did the two get together and decide to send similar letters? If so, why would the paper print them? If they didn’t, then is Karen McShea some sort of time traveler? Or has the Evening Bulletin turned to bending spacetime in hopes of boosting readship?
