Spout Off used to be a lighthearted, quirky way to get people’s take on what’s happening around us. Now it’s being used as a way to passive-aggressively poke at things that would be better addressed face to face. Instead of constantly complaining about the schools, consider talking to your child’s teacher, or better yet, ask how you can contribute. We can all become educated and involved in the process in a productive way instead of spewing more negativity.
