A graduating high school senior in Connecticut told his school board earlier this month he feels the district failed to prepare him for “the real world.”
Joseph Fredo, newly a graduate of Newington Public Schools, listed off a number of areas at a school board meeting where he feels he and his classmates were let down. He specifically highlighted a poor math department, “useless” science assignments and “bureaucracy” in the district.
“I worry about the lack of knowledge, social skills, problem solving and human decency that I see among my peers,” he said.
Fredo also called out the Newington school board over a “clear gap” in students’ math performances.
“Lowering standards, folks. That’s what it is,” he told the board. “Private schools aren’t doing this.”
