  Thanks for continuing to look out for our nickels and dimes RC from the waste of the town. New positions? Are you kidding me ?! Should be talking about trimming back the Admin Pork from the budget NOT adding more more more.
  Lets have WA go back to 2 deans and have admin curriculum 'coordinators' teach another class or two instead of sitting at desks and attending meetings all day

  Freeze the balls off a brass monkey out there! (If you think that's crude check the origin as it doesn't, contrary to popular belief, have to do with monkey testicles at all)

  WA is chock full of students that ave mommies helicopter hovering over them at all times, might help earn them 4.0s but. 'Life' is going to kick these kids in the nads when mom isn't there to cut their food into small bites!
  And some wonder why our kids are falling behind more independent kids in other countries! No such thing it seems as students taking both credit AND blame for their learning on their own....didn't do well on a project? Get mom to complain to the teacher for a retake, no wonder grade inflation is rampant here there and everywhere

  If a teacher was offered a job in a neighboring town for as much as $8,000 more per year how did the School Committee think we wouldn't loose many of our most 'marketable'?
  They knew there aren't enough jobs around for everyone to exodus in one year but it will be a consistent attrition, doesn't mean the new replacements will be bad but there are virtues in any field that come with 'breaking in' new personnel to a new place even if they have done the job elsewhere before. Get what you pay for is what WPS will learn
