In an otherwise nice story about the girls' hockey team, Warwick's public schools again manage to pluck public embarrassment from the jaws of victory. We've had over six weeks for the player in question, her parents, assistant coach, head coach, assistant principal, or principal to notice two failing grades on her report card, and to say something. Instead, they wait until a week after the season is over for East Bay and it's hockey players, many of whose girls are now onto other spring sports. Then, the same day the issue appears in the Providence Journal, the Beacon's reporters are curiously told it "wasn’t a thing for newspapers.” What, exactly, is it a "thing" for, Mr. Chrabaszcz? Not that a lack of transparency would ever exist in the city. As chaos remains the norm in Warwick's secondary schools, parents understandably continue to avoid them like the plague.
