Failed Middleboro Schools

It's easy to look at the failing performance
of the Middleboro Public Schools for the last
5 years and present a knee-jerk 'money' solution
as too many others have done.

Except didn't the failures began prior to
this year's budget cuts?

Posters on another blog suggested that we
weren't paying teachers enough, inter alia.

For a comparison of teachers' salaries, the
DOE offer the following that provides some
insight:

How do you think Middleboro compares?
