School Committee Meeting 1/14/13 by Josh Amaral

Outside of a few pro-innovation school speakers that were short on facts and very long on rhetoric (Al Qaeda? Really?), there were a number of vocal opponents to the proposals, mostly from a horde of teachers from Roosevelt Middle School who have concerns about opening a “school in a school,” for many reasons considered already on this blog and one that never even crossed my mind. We would be filling a building that contains nearly eight hundred 11-15 year olds with a couple hundred 4-7 year olds. Obviously, there are a lot of problems with this. Add them to the list.
