Close look at a hissing cockroach

Kids look at cockroach blog.jpg

In this photo, taken decades ago, a trio of York city school students was being shown a hissing cockroach during a visit from a zoo, or visiting nature education group. It's been that long ago, I don't remember.

But these are the kinds of photos we're looking to shoot-- good pictures of good kids doing good things. In thise case, learning new things.

Privacy issues have scared some school administrators from calling the YDR when their students are doing good things. Privacy is not a problem and we understand. If there is a student or two who can't have their photo taken, just point out that student, and we don't take their picture. Period. Don't punish the other students who are raising money for charity, learning new skills, or other visual activities because one student can't be photographed.

We're looking for positive, visual photos of students. We get the bad news from the police scanner, but we need your eyes and ears to find positive things within your school. With your help, we'll come out and take photos.
