So Thornton is directly responsible for the condition of the schools? No culpability lies on the part of the former 20 year administration, no culpability lies on the part of the overpaid under performing teachers, no culpability on the union leadership who only cares about the union members and not the kids.

What about the deplorable buildings? That must be Thorton's fault too right? In 1973 Warwick Vets should have been bulldozed into the ground. How many abatement's have happened there? How many improvements? You still have an antiquated building like most of the others in the city. Keep spending money on antiquated facilities. How many clear thinking parents would advise their children to buy a 1963 VW and dump $60,000 into it to get it to run but still leak oil? That's the analogy that best describes the Warwick Public School facilities.

Most important paragraph in this piece - "Observing that Warwick is ranked in the bottom third of Rhode Island schools for performance,"

Lowest ranked, highest paid teachers. Anyone see anything wrong here? $19,000 per pupil to be in the lowest ranks. Privates school $14,000 to be in the highest ranks. Are the residents of Warwick all products of the deficient Warwick School system? Clearly we are lacking in mathematicians.

3 members of the school committee that do not pay taxes, do not own property, probably never balanced a check book. These are leaders??
