Did Bloomberg stop paying reporters? The Post, Daily News and the NY Times have been writing articles that are critical of him. It’s been great.

The PS 194 story is OUTRAGEOUS. HOW can the DOE have enrolled so many extra students than the school can hold, that in mid-OCTOBER, they suddenly decide to pull up a U-Haul and ship a truck load of them elsewhere.
Heads. Should. Roll.

Reporters are one thing. Editorial boards still another.

Ironically, kids in schools that need metal detectors just as likely need cell phones, if not more so.

“Thanks honey. See you at dinner.”

Only in NYC can this happen. I keep reading how this could never happen in close locations such as westchester, rockland, and long island. It’s the truth but why can it happen here in the city?

Re Success Network coming to Brooklyn — “The city wants to give one third of a formerly-struggling Cobble Hill high school to a high-performing charter school” –
How does anyone know it’s “high-performing” until it’s been up and “performing” for a few years?! Oh wait, Eva guarantees high performance by pushing out any low performers.
Agreed
Exactly how she does it in my school building where we are collocated with HSA. My public have taken in almost 10 students who have been kicked out of HSA. All of these students struggle to engage and meet expectations, requiring a tremendous amount of work by our public school educators. Obviously HSA did not have the expertise to work with these students. They were all kicked out without any supports in place.
High performing schools do not routinely kick out students who struggle. They embrace them. HSA is not a high performing school. They are a school that kicks out low performers.
