Mr. Houghtaling, the "director of the East Greenwich drug program" (?) makes a compelling case to leave the education of our young people in the hands of government with no accountability nor objective standards for graduation. How's that working out? Not well. Those families not living in a high income community who can not afford a private or parochial education are sentenced to a bleak experience whereby high achievers are suffocated in the almighty name of narrowing the "achievement gap". Meanwhile, thousands of illiterate and unemployable students graduate from RI's public high schools every year with little hope but to be put on the roles of government dependency. Then again, perhaps that's the goal of Mr, Houghtaling and his nonprofit cohorts.
