"Maybe the teachers deserve more. Maybe the teachers deserve less."- Rick Corrente
"Warwicks teachers have suffered without a contract for so long that they deserve extra just for the emotional stress the SC has caused."- Rick Corrente
You can see how both quotes from just one comment show the nonsense being spewed out by the losing candidate for mayor. Usually when called out for things like this, or his lack of understanding of basic facts Rick finds an honor roll article to comment on.
If you think the teachers should be rewarded for not having a contract, what's to stop teachers from holding out in 5 years knowing they'll be "rewarded" following a long impasse. Again, this is the type of short sighted thinking everyone has grown used to from Rick.
Its not "anti teacher" either I know alot of great teachers in Warwick. It comes down to long term affordability and whether it was past or present school committees, superintendents, unions or teachers fault we are where we are now. For the financial future of the city a reasonable deal needs to be worked out. Layoff numbers need to be adjusted to reflect declining enrollment. If the administration can be reduced or cut in any way than that also needs to be a priority.
In 2 sentences i've put more ideas on the table then Corrente has in 2 years.
