  1. The elected Republicans, especially the new ones, have been a total failure.

    Republicans ran on cutting spending and taxes?

    With no plan actual plan to do so. Perhaps its Roger’s fault.

    Where is the plan and who owns?

    If there is no plan, why is that?

    If nothing is done in the next 3 weeks, the Republicans are finished.

  2. “”The concern is this hurts kids,” he said.” – how can we hurt kids more than paying the highest per student cost compared to other countries and still being number 40 out of 40 in the world. I think something else is hurting our children. I think we should look at curriculum and teaching methods.

    • Thereare other things in play here too. The big one is the direction resources are going in many cases with absolutely no possibility of any return whatsoever. I worked in school systems where this was the case, and saw this concept in play more than it would like to be heard.
      Allocation of resources in short needs a good hard management review all over the state.

  3. Some advice to those who will lose their jobs from former President Biden and former candidate Hillary Clinton: “learn to code”…

  4. relevant stats: US average for annual per-pupil cost is about $13K. Not justified by Reading and Math Student Proficiency Percentages, which are at about national averages (less than 50% makes Proficient and VT is in the middle of that P group< even though VT's minority enrollment is statistically, which should enable a P level at least barely over 50%. All the above are heavily statisticized somewhat annually by the now-being-challenged US Ed Dept, for the dismally few readers who are even willing to examine this unwelcome subject, and I as a former local columnist who tried to do so was fired by the publishers at the demand of several regional SU superintendents. n

  5. DUH, it took long enough to sober up. Make the core English(Lit, enunciation, writing), Math(proficiency in General and accounting, Algebra and beyond only elective) Phys. ED, and History( American history core, with a intro to north, central, and south). Louisiana was very poor but they went back to basics and the scores improved dramatically. Or keep producing Eloi.

  6. For those who lose their jobs learn a trade where you can produce something of value. That means you may have to work for a living.

  7. Nothing is changing and the Republicans we elected are to blame.

    Then ran on a Motto that they clearly didn’t have the competencies to realize.

    Now, many Republican voters are asking where are the cuts, how better off will I be, where’s the plan.

    There is no plan. There are no cuts. There are no Republicans accountable for it.

    Who is going to be our Elon?

    This is absolutely pathetic!

    And there is no one to hold them accountable. No upcoming elections. No media willing to take them to task. Nothing and no one.
