R.I. Education Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green in a statement said the poor results underscore the “significant impact” the pandemic has had on the city education system and the need for continued efforts to make improvements.
Three years into the state takeover of the capital city’s public schools, how do you feel about the pace of improvements?
We are failing to cultivate our most valuable assets: our children. Parents should be outraged at the way RIDE is continuing to fail to provide their children with an decent education. If I were a parent with school age children (I worked hard so we could afford to send our kids to private schools for grades N -12) I would be demanding that A) heads rolls at RIDE; B) our public schools be converted to Charter Schools ASAP; C) the teachers’ union be disbanded since, apparently, the union must be part of the problem because the union has done nothing to solve the problem.
P.S. I would vote out of office anyone who doesn’t agree with me on these points.
