Our local weeklies very often have positive stories about the local schools — but they are Gannett papers and linking to them is such a royal pain because of their rules.....plus the links only last 3-4 days.

Ok, I'll start paying more attention to my local papers, and perhaps y'all could do the same? My local papers may be Gannet ones too; I'll need to check on that.

We all know that not all teachers are slackers and not all public school students are drug-abusing gang-bangers, but too often positive stories aren't considered news.

Positive doesn’t sell papers and it doesn’t garner hits, either. Hence all the jackasses piling on about public schools here. Just take it in stride. Not that I do but I expect better from you. LOL
