The Current has officially announced the end of Mr. Grossman's column. This decision demonstrates that public accountability remains a powerful tool for community standards. I appreciate your commitment to upholding the dignity of our educators.

We believe teachers deserve respect for the jobs they do and not blame. Mr. Seth Grossman has used his column in The Current to tear apart teachers for the wages they earn and the work that they do. While Mr. Grossman's column is considered editorial, he has abused this weekly opportunity to push his own agenda and gain publicity for his law practice and organization. Mr. Grossman should not be given a platform that allows him to make baseless claims and attack those who are not to blame. We believe a column like Mr. Grossman's has no place in a publication that focuses on the positives of our communities and schools. We pledge to discontinue reading The Current and Shore Gazette until the appropriate changes are made.

Seth Grossman is a total hack. He just loves to hear himself talk and has no idea what happens inside a classroom day to day. Keep writing the truth!

He just wants everyone to look at his law firm. Using a column to bully teachers is low even for him.

Let him write his own letter to the editor. Why does the paper give him a full slot to bash public servants? Ridiculous.

Teachers work way harder than most people give them credit for. Sick of these local columnists attacking them for cheap clout.
