Having difference in opinion and being able to state these publicly is one of the hallmarks of our country. However when expressing those differing opinions it is disheartening to see how disrespectful and self serving this conversation has become. We can agree to disagree without implying that parents have zero ability to take away technology from their children at a reasonable hour, or that students who completed a survey about the time change didn't know what they were answering when they stated they would use the extra time in the morning to sleep, as the woman this article quoted stated. The parents in town as well as our students deserve better than that.

Please, let's find a way to discuss the data and the impact of this change in a truthful and respectful manner.

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.
