It's a damn shame!

What the hell is going on here in Peabody?  Why is it that the children and their valuable educations are being ignored?  As other departments throughout the city's coffers are receiving raises and cost of living increases...etc. our school system is being completely dismantled!  I will no-longer bring up the fact the Bonfanti coined himself as "The Education Mayor", because clearly that was nothing but a joke in his eyes!  I am very disappointed in the school committee voting this new budget in with only one member having a BACKBONE to stand against it...CONGRATULATIONS BRANDI CARPENTER!!!  The rest of you should all be ashamed of yourselves!

When is the last time ANY of you actually spent a day in one of our city schools watching how the teachers scramble for supplies just to write on the chalkboard?  It should be mandatory that all SC members spend a few days a year watching (internally) how our teachers have to struggle to give the kids the education that they deserve! Then Mrs. Dunne speaks out (after she voted) that it would be now left up to the council...for what, to take the monkey off of her back?  McGeney speaks about the parental commitment and praises their careful wishes while he votes against it!

Bus Fees at $300.00 per child!  School Sports= $$$$!  So much for free education, the people of Peabody with children get penalized for being parents by paying more in fees  /  TAXES!  That should be the headline, and is the legacy of Bonfanti.


Until Next Time, Let Freedom Ring!
