North Kingstown: "Perhaps the school department should show more interest in working with the town council.

Narragansett-South Kingstown: "I Pray Lord that you would grant your daughter full restoration and more, that her limbs and whole body would function even better than before in the name of Jesus!" — Najla Singleton-McKinnon, commenting on
Woonsocket: "Lowering or watering down the passing grade so kids can graduate is nothing to be proud of. It's one step up from the accepted practice of social promotions. Shameful and sad." — Chris12, commenting
