Letter to the editor: Vt. schools get no bang for the bucks
Some sort of reform is drastically needed! I recall a letter to the editor by an educator that listed Vermont education ratings. According to the letter Vermont ranks second highest in per pupil costs and second lowest in scholastic achievement.
Vermonters, the education department, legislators should be red faced ashamed of our rankings in both categories.
I did not follow the latest education bill. Let’s get something done quick. It appears that the status quo will last far too long. Legislator study committees just kick the can down the road.
The teachers and principals are against losing their jobs and in my opinion useless in implementing reform.
Vermonters are not second-class citizens! Vermont should be the leaders.
