>I went through the RPS system when it truly had a tradition of excellence. (RHS ’67)
There were no classroom aides.
There were no guidance counselors at the middle schools.
There were 25-30 students in a class and teachers didn’t whine that they couldn’t handle that many students. (And I don’t remember anyone taking medication for ADHD).
There was no superintendent of curriculum.
There was a principal and a vice-principal at the HS, GW, and BF. Period. No grade administrators.
Our students not only excelled at sports, but also got into the best schools in the country,(as they continue to do today.)
We are paying way too much money to way too many people in our school system, and I am voting “NO”! and Amen from a class of 1976 graduate and a double amen from class of 80.
