The Globe today has an interesting, sad look at the crappy condition of athletics at Boston public high schools and middle schools, at least, at the ones that don't require an exam to get into.

However, it's advertised as the first of a seven-part series. It's by a Globe sports writer, so I'm assuming the other six parts will also be about the sad state of sports in Boston secondary schools.

When will we see a seven-part series about the crappy condition of other scholastic affairs in Boston schools?

We just found out the kidlet's school is losing its drama teacher. So what? That means what is basically a middle school will have NO specialty teachers next year. No music, no art, nothing but the basics. And no gym whatsoever.
