    Bail Out The Children    
    Friday, January 02 2009 @ 03:47 PM GMT+4
    Contributed by: Gnana

    OpinionYesterdays letter to the editor re a 19.7 million cut in Early Education Services is very wrong.Not the letter, the idea that our legislature can even consider this is wrong. Write your legislators and our Govenor. We treat our children and elderly like second class citizens and the children we are thinking of neglecting now may be caring for YOU later.

    Bail Out The Children
    Authored by: cgrotke on Saturday, January 03 2009 @ 01:51 AM GMT+4
    Studies show that investing in high-quality preschool and early education SAVES money later on... savings in special needs education, jails, health care, unemployment, and all sorts of areas.

    If a seed is planted, in needs to be watered, get good soil, and have sun to grow up and be productive. Early neglect may keep it from sprouting at all.

    Giving young children great education and opportunity one of the easier things to do, but it takes a commitment from parents, teachers, community members, business, and government.

  • Brattleboro Weekly Poll
    Regarding teens and Gallery Walk, I mostly
    enjoy their presence and youthful energy
    am bothered by their cursing and mayhem
    think a few teens give others a bad rep
    think grumpy adults should get over it
    think teens should be better supervised while out
    would like to see more artistic activities for teens
    have not noticed any problems
