Letter: Looking forward to the new school start times

To the editor:

I am the parent of two children in Barrington Public Schools.

I am also an English teacher in Providence. My school is for kids in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades and our classes begin at 8:45 a.m. As a teacher, I can see that this start time is beneficial to my students, both in terms of their alertness and readiness to learn as well as their overall well-being. As a parent, I am looking forward to my kids enjoying the same benefits when Barrington's new schedule begins this fall.

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.
