This is a good move for everyone. My mother worked at the Kickemuit Middle School and the school was state of the art and offered so much more than any Jr. High School in Warwick could offer and she should know. She attended Warwick schools and put 3 kids through them. They had computer labs, science labs, boat building etc. They were able to offer this because of the savings of combining school districts and grades. Bristol/Warren parents also all balked at the idea of merging school systems. Now they embrace it . All day kindergarten is another benefit from this move never mind the tax savings to those of us who own property in Warwick. By the time my son reached 6th grade he was all set with sitting in one class room all day with one teacher. Ask your 6th graders if they would like to move from class to class or sit in one class with one teacher all day. Kids get a better education and benefits from experiencing different teachers who specialize in their subjects. Too many seeing the glass half empty rather than focusing on the benefits this move. As far as the teacher certifications go, teachers and union leaders should have been proactive and not reactive. Talks of all day kindergarten and middle school certification have been going on for a number of years. What were you waiting for? I also agree with jackiemama63 and I am not a moron. Change does not have to be feared this move will happen either now or in the future stop instilling fear in your kids and shooting down ideas of progress. You will be sending your kids into the work force in a few years and balking at change and progress is not a lesson you want teach them if you want them to remain gainfully employed.
