Ray Lamont's frustrating editorials....

Do Ray Lamont's Gloucester Daily Times editorials represent the voices of our community? You decide.

Click here to read the editorial and responses to it.

This from Iceman:

The founders of Community Arts Charter School are not GPS's "colleagues." They are a very small group of people with no training or experience in education.

And no, the debate is not "over." When a tiny handful of people manages to make off with public money -- against overwhelming community opposition -- to fund their fantasy liberal arts college, then you can expect a debate. You think "overwhelming opposition" is hyperbole? Look at the DESE's own reporting about the run-up to the charter school vote.

Looks like the GDT argument is no longer the standard, business-model "healthy competition" garbage? They are now hoping for "an opportunity for more collaboration, rather than competition" between the schools? They'll contort themselves and invert their metaphors in any way in order to avoid framing the GPS as anything other than a cantankerous old union member one inch from retirement. Maybe they should actually enter one of our schools and report on what they actually see.
