Joyce did get one thing correct, they are just "kids." They shouldn't be punished for being imperfect.

If students aren't passing classes they should get mandatory tutoring. Kicking them off clubs or teams won't solve their poor performance in the classroom. Some kids will probably perform even worse after suffering the embarrassment of being kicked off a team.

We need solutions, not punishment.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
