Pat...explain to me WHY you are no longer on the School Committee? You are spot on as usual and the politicians who are involving themselves in the Gorton Junior High School dilemma are pandering and not being honest regarding their own complicity as to the reason the WPS has no money in the bank. In the beginning, there were sincere arguments regarding the closure of Gorton...somehow it has become a circus. Not one person is willing to say (aside from yourself) what will happen if we DON'T close a school..or really a few schools. I've tried to speak of this through these forums but it falls on deaf ears...a longer bus ride is no reason to keep a school open folks! The sentimentality for a building is no reason to keep a school open either, nor is the argument that classes will be crowded since the Union determines that issue. Do we need to adopt the Middle School Model and get in line with the rest of the Country? Yes! Can it be done while closing a school or two? Yes! Should we build new schools? You bet we should! Are people going to lose jobs? Probably..but that will happen even if we DON'T close a school! Good Grief! Be realistic.
