Here are some teachers' comments on using The New York Times in their classrooms:

"The New York Times is the most comprehensive source available to my global studies students for accessing current international issues. No other source (print or electronic) comes close to The Times. The writing is superb." -- Dr. Robert Kovach, global studies teacher, Schreiber High School, Port Washington, N.Y.

"At the end of the year, I ask all my students to write me an essay in class discussing what they liked/hated in the class that year and what they thought they would carry with them into college and beyond. Ninety-nine percent mentioned The New York Times newspaper. Their reasons were consistent: they felt more intelligent; they could talk more intelligently with their parents and peers; they felt more self-confident in their knowledge of current events; they could read quicker (most saying that in the beginning they could read one article in the 10 minutes allotted, but now could read four or five); they could retain what they read because they had to talk about it ..." -- Marianne Moriarty, English teacher, Bourgade Catholic High School, Phoenix, Ariz.
