The Vashon High School theater arts class has taken on a real challenge with its production of playwright Tom Stoppard’s “The Real Inspector Hound.”
It’s time for another youth-adult dialogue — Vashon’s 19th since they started in January 2004 following the death of an Island girl at the hands of her father.
I’ve been volunteering with youth-related projects on Vashon for nine years now, and I was surprised that the Vashon Island School District leadership apparently still doesn’t know how to communicate with youth. According to news reports in The Beachcomber and The Riptide, the district’s opening salvo in a recent “dialogue” was to pronounce that grinding was history at Vashon High School.
