Sir: Where politicians send their children probably says more about them and the state of the nation than one day's worth of electioneering. I was fortunate enough to attend school with Peter Kohl, the son of the German Federal Chancellor.

You might wonder how much my parents had to fork out so I could attend this august institution. The answer is, nothing: the Lieselotte-Gymnasium is our local state-run grammar school.
