Greenwich residents may recall that a Resident Satisfaction Survey took place between November 15, 2023 and December 1, 2023. 

With numerous concerns facing the Town, we decided to go back and take another look at the survey results and found a few interesting things that really concern Greenwich residents, namely, Education.

In January 2024, Probolsky Research presented their findings to the Town:

In in its report  on page 1 of the "Town of Greenwich Resident Satisfaction Survey Representative Sample Results", they noted the following:

"Education services and schools present a challenge for the Town. While the majority of residents indicate that they are satisfied with the quality of education in Greenwich schools, this number has been declining in the last five years. There was a consistent theme in the data that residents are concerned about the infrastructure of the schools, as well as the quality of the curriculum. Across multiple open-ended responses, residents mentioned that school buildings needed to be updated and renovated, with some citing that they felt the infrastructure was unsafe. Pertaining to the curriculum, there was a small number of residents who raised concerns about political influence in schools. Many residents would like to see funding into Greenwich schools and education." 

In other words, "Quality of education and the state of schools is the most important issue to Greenwich residents." This is clearly demonstrated on page 2 of the sample results in a graph that with the question, " What is the most important issue facing Greenwich today?" At 23.3%, residents said "Schools/Education was the most important issue. 

The report "recommend clearly communicating with residents the Town’s plans for education improvements, particularly in capital projects. Infusion of politics into the school’s curriculum should be addressed directly with evidence-based information about the school’s curriculum, adherence to education best practices and regulations, and rankings/scores for the schools."

Greenwich Press Release 2023 Greenwich Resident Satisfaction Survey Results Here

Education continues to be a growing concern and based on the survey numbers this is still the case. With declining quality of education numbers, politicization of our children's curriculum, wokeness and diversity agenda and the hiring of unqualified administrators, our education system appears to be in a free fall. The Board of Education had the opportunity, recently, to begin to bring quality education and declining numbers up. Instead, the Board chose to extend Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones' contract by an additional year. 

We wonder if the Board of Education actually read this report. If so, why did they vote the way they did? Numbers don't lie. We can and must do better. Every Board of Education member has an obligation to give our children the BEST possible education. Period. Unfortunately, we're not getting it and neither is the Board of Education. 

Are you paying attention yet?

Dear Establishment Republicans, We're Tired of Your "Bipartisanship"

Image
  Screenshot (Public Domain) Bipartisanship, the concept of both political parties working together towards common goals, is often seen as a key component of a functioning democracy. In a state like Connecticut, where the political landscape is largely dominated by Democrats, the idea of bipartisanship only benefits one side of the aisle. This is because bipartisanship tends to work in favor of the party that holds power, which in Connecticut's case, is the Democratic Party. Despite the intentions of bipartisanship to promote compromise and cooperation between parties, it always leads to unequal outcomes and favoritism of the Democrat agenda. One of the main reasons why bipartisanship always works in favor of Connecticut Democrats is the sheer number of Democratic representatives in the state legislature. With Democrats holding a majority in both the state House and Senate, they have more power to push their agenda and initiatives through, even with some bipartisan support. This ...

Trump Debates ABC News Democrat Operatives

Image
  Screenshot (abcnews.com) Millions of Americans and the world tuned in last night to watch the very first and perhaps the only debate between former President Doanld Trump and VP Kamala Harris in Philadelphia. The debate was "moderated" by ABC "journalists" David Muir and Lindsey Davis.  Kamala And ABC Hosts Lie At Debate  Read Before the actual debate started, Trump set the tone by having Harris walk over to his podium to shake his hand. Within the first ten minutes, viewer knew exactly how this debate was going to play out. Trump was debating three people: Harris, Muir and Davis. It was interesting to see but not shocking these so-called moderators were fact checking every word that came out of Trump's mouth. We're pretty sure Trump knew what he was up against last entering the "lion's den." Make no mistake, Muir and Davis are Democrat operatives. Their fact checking follow ups and comments were exaggerations or outright lies. For example, T...

With a Clear Mandate From Millions of Americans, President Trump Elected as 47th President of the United States!

Image
  Screenshot (KTLA 5) I f you were like many Americans yesterday you went out and voted, then kept your eyes on the TV or your device to get the minute-by-minute score on the Trump Vs Kamala scoreboard of states. Like many of you, we debated which every possible path to 270 electoral votes that President Trump has to the ones that Kamala Harris did not. We watched in excitement and nervousness as some states were shaded light red or were too close to call at the time. One thing we knew for sure; we had faith that Trump would make it across the finish line because Trump has a message that resonates with all of us. Millions of Americans likely stayed up into the wee hours of the night as if watching a movie, you just can’t take your eyes off. The type where you’re waiting for the acme, biting your nails with every passing minute, hoping all those voting stations would close already and call the election for Trump. As with most things, our patience eventually paid off as we watched on...
