Pathetic reporting
I feel compelled to write this letter regarding the "Tossed paper causes incident at Canyon" article (April 1).
Paper-tossing exaggerated
I believe that this article ("Tossed paper causes incident at Canyon," published April 1) is way overblown.
Article raises questions
Brian Charles' front page article (April 1) regarding the "tossed paper controversy" at Canyon High School raises more questions than the incident itself.
Teacher accused
In a front page article on April 1, ("Tossed paper causes incident at Canyon") Signal Staff Writer Brian Charles has wrongly convicted teacher Michael Motherspaw by grossly misrepresenting a Canyon High classroom incident without researching or representing the facts.
Tossed paper story lopsided

I am sending this correspondence to you in order to express my grave concerns regarding the story that was printed by The Signal on April 1, 2009. The article to which I am referring was composed by Signal Staff Writer Brian Charles regarding the incident between a Canyon High School teacher and a student. Let me initiate this letter by stating that ...
