Letter to the editor: Vehicle making scary sound

My car has been very scary.

Save Community Schools supports the staff, students and families of Bristol Elementary School.

Think twice before signing a Middlebury Regional Planning easement. I speak about the sidewalk through the Pulp Mill Bridge area.

Like some of you, perhaps, I don’t want to “unpack” anything anymore. Particularly during COVID when it is hard to travel.

I was a classroom teacher at Robinson Elementary School in Starksboro from 1999 until this past June.

Three years ago, we lost Deane Rubright, a beloved father, son, brother, uncle, and friend in a tragic accident.

Why do people continue to use Facebook? This is a company that has contributed to divisiveness in our country.

Every morning the custodian of the school goes out and raises the American Flag, sadly the children inside that school, do not know the Pledge of Allegiance nor the Stars Bangled Banner or any patriotic songs.

Recent events at Bristol Elementary School have caused me to be very concerned about the school that my 9-year-old grandson attends.

The horrific pandemic that is ravaging this nation and the entire world has illuminated a frightening national state of affairs.

Phoners, that’s the term I coined for those people that have decided it’s their God-given right to drive and phone at the same time.

I was a classroom teacher at Bristol Elementary School from 1996-2018. I am deeply saddened to hear about the recent events at the school. I am also, unfortunately, not surprised.

As a former special education teacher, I was dismayed, saddened and angry as I listened to teachers at the Oct. 12 Mount Abraham Union School District school board meeting.

Today I saw that a local town has elementary students who terrorize the classrooms, including the teachers, and get away with it. Huh? You are kidding me, right?

In response to Bill McKibben’s editorial, when I see solar arrays or wind turbines I am very glad.
