This man was "brave" enough to tell an interviewer at Boston Magazine that he thinks it's OK, and in an age where few will admit to it. What do you think?

I'm not sure what percentage of Foxboro residents are actually students at the FRCS school but I'd be willing to guess it's no more than 10% based on students in over the years in my 3 kids classes and getting to know their parents and where they live, etc. I thought I heard somewhere that kids from over 8 counties attend the FRCS so 10% may be too high and not accurate. I have a hard time … more ›
