Mr. Nadelstern, your teaching and leadership credentials are above reproach.If you could what ACTION would you take to protect the children of MURRY BERGTRAUM AND BOYS AND GIRLS.
Former superintendent
Dear Gotham Schools,
Since you often have the pleasure of talking with former deputy chancellor, Eric Nadelstern, you should know that the Daily News was contacted as they are currently working on a piece concerning his high school, DeWitt Clinton. Clinton has received several F’s in a row and is a total mess. Teachers are scared, kids are out of control, and it’s current grade is an F. How did the school avoid “the list”?
Mr. Nadelstern can answer your question as he is a member of the DeWitt Clinton alumni, who has personally requested to leave the horrid, failing school alone. Bloomberg ablidged. Story will break big next week.
DOE closes schools with C grades but spares Clinton who has received several straight F’s and D’s. Grimy, just grimy.

Wow. Is this true Philissa?
I noticed that…
I am a strong believer of exposing all the frauds out there. It does matter how many degrees or years as a principal – if you’re fraud, underhanded, conniving, inscrupulous, it will all come out eventually.
I noticed that…
oops, exhaustion got in the way. It should say:
“It does NOT matter how many degrees or years as a principal”…

Could Gotham please stop giving any soapbox to this failed Deputy Chancellor now wants to be next Chancellor?
His ideas have been tried and have failed. Let him collect his pension and muse about the good old days like Metternich…

I think that Chancellor “Baldie” is secretly going to run for mayor. That’s what “Failberg” has planned. “Failberg” wants to hand him the job on a silver platter when he goes out. Failberg didn’t exactly bust his ass to get reelected, he simply bought the election. He thinks that being that worked he can buy off everybody. Not that I would take it but I’m surprised that he hasn’t try to buy off the teachers? I have yet to find a person who voted for him. Did anyone vote for him or know anyone who did? Through all the bastards out!

Sorry I wrote through for throw. Is anybody going to make a deal of it? I don’t teach English.
