Letter: Friends of Newton
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: We Newton Prep parents were surprised to see your education correspondent ('School for gifted accused of cramming', 1 November) give so much credence and space to the views on our school of an entrepreneur who, since being unsuccessful in buying into Newton, has set himself up as business rival. Your feature appears more a promotion of his business than a serious discussion of our school.
Had your correspondent been able to speak to any of the several hundred Newton parents who attended the recent very full PTA, she would have realised that we believe Newton to be the equal of any comparable school and an excellent school where our children will remain.
Yours faithfully,
