While most citizens were in favor of making the environment a key component of the curriculum, a small minority had an aversion
to change and thwarted the plans by organizing demonstrations. In response to these demonstrations, a group of concerned students wrote editorials in the local newspaper supporting the environmentally focused curriculum. One of the students wrote, “The school board's proposed curriculum may be unconventional, but it is also more inventive and pragmatic than many of the obsolete courses the school offers annually.” After the publication of the pupils' editorials, the contemptuous debate subsided, and the school board approved the new curriculum. Consequently, the educators of North Valley began utilizing the new syllabus in their lesson plans. Although the environment may seem like a science-specific subject, teachers in the school found imaginative ways to interject the topic into their classes

A) support from the school board
B) editorials written by students
C) donations from enthusiastic parents
D) the poem written by Adrianne Hooper
