Teach responsibility

I read with interest your view of additions to Springstead High School.

First thought that came to mind was, if you personally have $1 million to spare, find 24 more friends of yours and live your dream.

Since you feel secure in your position on the taxpayers' dollars, you are free to fantasize during school hours. You apparently are not aware that buildings do not teach students. Good teachers do that with parental help.

Personally, I have paid school taxes since I was 23 years old and am now retired and getting very tried of it and the lack of results.

Have you ever considered cutting down student parking or charging for the privilege to use it? It should also be limited to students with a B or above average. The parking has to be maintained with tax money.

As for students who leave early, they are already aware of the facts of life and could be allotted a separate section of the parking lot.

Another point is the four-way stop sign for traffic. These are young adults who were taught to look both ways for traffic in grade school in order to cross a road. Why not treat them as young adults and show some responsibility. With the four-way stop, they should not need a crossing guard.

Your idea of a child care facility is another can of worms. It also goes to teaching responsibility.
