Great video! GHS offers our kids a lot of terrific opportunities you won't find elsewhere...

It seems to me that back in the day when we were taught long division we were doing Singapore Math,…Read More then children were taught math another way and we could not help our children with their homework. And who knows how many times the math curriculum was changed. No wonder we have confused children, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. They cannot add one and one without a calculator, let alone make change at a cash register. Let's get our act together so that all children can do the same math, the same way, and if they change schools they will know what is going on and then leave it alone. I guess you are saying that children who have been taught math the "old" way were being taught wrong.

Too bad Calf Island was stolen from them.
Add in 75% of the "Seton property" was sold off…Read More for development with only the part closest to the Merritt Parkway retained and perhaps the students should learn about the "planning " scams that continue.

The MISA project as approved was for $ 37.3 million, not $ 34 million, with $ 3.1 million put off to…Read More 2013-14. The project has not changed except to address the PCB contamination. I am not for MISA at any price, but I am for MISA as approved. I agree with the BET that adding another $ 2 million to contingency makes sense. Buona fortuna.

EK: I'm moving on but I get it: you will be in favor of MISA no matter what the cost! $34 million…Read More dollars can build a fabulous MISA. Sarcasm seems to follow your persona. Ciao

GR: I get it: you oppose the MISA project. But that was decided already. The "line in the…Read More sand" you want to draw was crossed. The question now is whether there is justification for the supplemental appropriation. So far I have not heard any arguments against the $ 5 M increase caused by the PCB contamination and resulting delays. As for my arrogance and sarcasm, I will admit to one, but not the other. Or perhaps I am just being sarcastic?

As a theatre person, I am interested in this project, but also curious about a few things. Who…Read More designed the auditorium? Has it been looked at by someone who actually uses the space as a theatre? I remember the disaster of the auditorium at CJHS, and other schools, where what looks pretty doesn't work for theatre use. Has someone with sound and choral experience checked it out? Or orchestral? They might have ideas that would work better for less money.

Do any of the gun control zealots have an opinion on this story?…Read More

Awesome story, awesome reporting, thank you Sue. This is something everyone in Greenwich should…Read More read. It makes one feel proud to be in a community that supports its students.

Congratulations to the school board which should be applauded for not being stampeded into…Read More re-designing the project in light of the bids received, which consultants say were higher because the construction market has improved over the past two years as prices rise. Delay cost the town not any extravagance in the project or site remediation costs which are known for MISA (if not for the unrelated costs of PCB remediation elsewhere on the site). Hopefully, the BET and RTM will quickly agree so construction may begin on this project so important to generations of GHS students and the public.

The BOE and Superintendent have their heads in the clouds. That the Superintendent states that other…Read More higher education institutions would "celebrate" over achieving a 4% increase is irresponsible, especially when enrollment in our schools has decreased by approximately 100 students in 2008 and is projected to dip further. The BOE is approving budgets that spend with no accountability. As for MISA, it is ridiculous to be approving the project without significant modification, especially when the cost for site remediation is not known. The BOE blames everyone but themselves for MISA. Absurd. What's next? I am sure it will be the BET approving an increase in the debt ceiling to pay for the overbloated projects facing the Town, including those in the Education Budget. In an election year none of the incumbents should be reelected. They are all irresponsible, even if they don't think they are.

Maybe you should proof read your comments before hitting submit.

You obviouly no nothing about what it takes to get home safe at the end of your shift, and to bring…Read More race into it is an obvious cop-op and, like every one of your statements, has no merit. Also, just to spell it out for you, I labeled this person potentially armed and dangerous because he was reported to have a gun (armed) and was reported to have made a statement about killing people (dangerous).
At least we agree that the work of the police is difficult enough without "hoaxes" but to react to a call like that in a less than serious manner is the much more dangerous scenario.
John Regan April 12, 2013 at 07:37 pm
Lady, you begin and end your comment with name calling, and in the middle, point out your fragile…Read More emotional state. Maybe this is not the place for you. I understand your disagreement with IM, but I think he was trying to say that it is the unique setting of a school which would lead the Police to take a hysterical call from a teenager, and rush in without checking with a grown up first. Scary stuff, for sure. IM was asking questions. As for the Police, their job is difficult enough without such Hoaxes. As for " Potentially Armed and Dangerous " as you have called him, ask any minority kid in town, and they'll tell you it's not the Police who label them that, but people like you.
