Mr. Marrocco: Can we begin with the following sentence: "Though, there was definitely a change in the mood I was used to seeing them in." While your support for former teachers is commendable, one can not help but question the rigor of English classes during your four years at Pilgrim.

As to the substance of your remarks, your use of the words "marginalize and disrespect" is curious. Aside from the fact that these words have become vastly overused, how are teachers in Warwick being "marginalized", exactly? Is it the salary of $80,000 for a teacher with ten years' experience and a masters' degree? Is it the generous pension? Health care benefits? 37 week year? Paid sick days? Personal days? Don't forget, it's "for the children" until contract time. Then it's work to rule and entering your place of business in attire best suited for the beach. "Marginalized" and "disrespected"? How about entitled and over-compensated.
