In his report to Norfolk
County Council. the public school inspector states:
-- of 86 rural
teachers, 33 have less than two years experience
-- 64 of them have less than five years experience
-- 50 of the 86 teachers were new to their school last September
-- 20 more
have been less than two years in their present school.
Yet these rural
schools cost from $39.48 to $57.38 per pupil,
while in the towns
and villages where the teachers were more
permanent the cost per pupil
varied from $24.83 to $28.85.
These are telling arguments in favor of the
consolidation of rural schools.
How long will you put up with it? It is
time for a change. |
