Nice to see the Thornton playbook is alive and well. He threatened to cut sports and extra curricular activities when he was in Cumberland to get what he wanted. Saw the writing on the wall a couple of years ago and removed my children from this awful school system. Any organization that would institute work to rule and effectively turn their backs on the children is a district that I don't want my children to be in. No teacher in this district could ever convince me that they care about the children after that debacle. Parents have had it and the CTE program has been a blessing. Now Thornton wants to make changes because more kids are leaving than coming in to the city each year and I can guarantee getting rid of sports, clubs and mentoring will cause even more kids to go to NK and other surrounding school districts. What's hilarious is a year ago Thornton was trying to make the argument that kids were leaving Warwick because of sports and that the kids should have to go back to Warwick but now they want to cut sports which will cause some kids to leave. My children are now in a well run district with teachers who take a personal interest in seeing that their children succeed. It's the exact opposite in Warwick.

Any parent who takes their child's education seriously needs to look in to the CTE program and take their child out of Warwick or look in to private school if you can afford it. The teachers of Warwick can not, or in the case of work to rule, will not teach our children the skills needed to be successful in todays society. Lots of children have left and are better off and more leave each year because Warwick teachers, school committee, and city council are incapable of providing an environment that fosters sustainability and reliability.
