Great Letter!

If enough of us speak out (to the media, city and county leaders, etc.) like Lisa Nesbitt did in her letter to the N&O published in Sunday’s Forum (scroll down to last letter on the linked page), then we can get the School Board to see that mandated year-round schools are not an acceptable option. Here’s an excerpt:

“In the debate over traditional vs. year-round schools, the constant refrain from the pro-year round camp is try it, you'll like it. Then I read that Wake school board members believe that providing more information about the year-round calendar will be helpful, and that they need to educate people to help our community adjust (article, Jan. 4)

“There seems to be this overriding notion that those of us who prefer a traditional calendar are not terribly bright and in fact just stubborn and resistant to change. Apparently, we are unable to consider the pros and cons and decide what is best for our kids.”
