Oh, Mom! That’s So “Old School!”

Sage advice from an under thirty daughter, still working on her PhD in Boston. Her words ended a potentially interesting exchange.

However, in the Chariho School District, the “old school” exchange, while different, has dominated dialogue in the recent SLAM meetings.

“Our schools are old!”

“Our schools are so old!”

“Oh, my, they are incredibly old!”

“The One Thing we know for sure is that, OUR SCHOOLS ARE OLD!

We must do something! We must do it now!”

That mantra rang out at the recent SLAM Dunk meetings. The “Old Schools” slogan rose above all questions, ended discussions, and even marked the adjournment of some meetings. Yes, it was, “The One Thing we could all agree on!” Right?

How old are they?
