Our schools are in trouble and will be until we get someone that's not politically correct or a liberal to bring back a true educational system. We need to go back to basics.

We need a common and simple dress code. Teachers should be required to also dress in suits and dresses to separate them from the students. Rules should be followed and those that disrupt should be punished and those that continue should be tossed out. Years of bad leadership have given our children a bad example of what to expect after school is over.

For what I see and hear students are coming out of school with a lower education than I did. We need people who care and are not there for the money and benefits. We need people who will make sure that a student does live in Hicksville, not in another town. Hicksville taxpayers should not be paying for others that don't!

Until we get people in office that care we will be going down the drain and our children will suffer because they will be our leaders years from now. If they have no clue we are in trouble as a town, country and nation.
