Rob....Spot on.... and those who sit in Montpelier are clueless about what is REALLY important for the future of this state. At town meeting our representatives told folks they were going to make it a law that schools without a high school could send only to "public schools" and wow what an outcry from towns folks. I told our representatives "if you do not like that the cream of the crop are choosing to send their kids to private schools for good education... go to the private schools and find out what they are doing "right" to attract these kids".... Sadly All the electric cars in the world cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
[I am mother of 7 kids who went to and through a 3-room schoolhouse here in Vermont in the 70's and 80's and got an outstanding education.]
Accurate in every detail. Some 20 years ago, our Rotary Club was sponsoring an incoming exchange student annually. Two, one from Russia, one from Turkey, demanded to be returned because the Lamoille schools were a joke. In both cases, we arranged for them to take courses at Johnson College, and they relented. Not one of nearly 20 praised their courses: several enjoyed extracurricular activities like Drama and sports.

Outstanding commentary. Criticism that Schubert certainly deserves.
