We may have started to make changes, but they are not enough. I am really concerned about the lack of direction. Can we afford to wait? Sure we have a start in the development path for that direction, but it really still feels and looks like we are stumbling around in the dark. Any step forward is soon followed by a five step backward maneuver for any combination of reasons.
Until we are all standing together as a united community and say that enough is enough, on behalf of the children of our community, our educational system is just going to continue to decline over all. As a community our educational system has to be a priority-Period.
How can we fix it? Be stepping forward as adults in times when items come down the pipeline (federal/ state mandates) and to best serve the needs of our children versus the what about "me" mentality that has been ruining the civility of the community. By laying aside the "blame game" from elementary school and "cover your butt" mentality that is prevalent, so that problems can be raised, discussed, addressed AND solved. We can look outside ourselves and the town for best practices and utilize the resources that we have in house- why reinvent the wheel or waste money? All of this can be done, it will take time, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of the children or at generations of them.
