Those kids in the Bronx have every right to be pissed off by how they are treated and so do their teachers. Your Republican answer is more tax cuts for the wealthy and more charter schools and more vouchers for private schools. Oh and let's not forget, break the unions. Keep blaming the kids. Soon, we can all be unemployed as they close the public schools.

I could go on an on how it’s made certain aspects of our society dependent. Dependency knows no color, ethnicity, religion, age, gender or sexual orientation. Hey let’s try creating millions and millions of good paying full time jobs to eradicate the cycle of dependency. Let’s stop paying for the worlds economic progress and help our own country for once in a long time. Let’s stop getting screwed in trade with countries we paid in blood and money to keep free. If only someone would try it. I wonder who it will be?

Not a good idea to lower standards. Really frustrates me. If anything, standards should be raised. More schools should have test based admissions, not fewer. While I understand we want more black and hispanic kids to have more opportunities, it seems unfair to deny opportunities to those who meet the standards. <br /><br />The kids who go to Stuy, etc. work hard to get in here. It's not about race, it's about ability. The city should push to raise the level at all schools. It's not going to happen as long as they turn a blind eye to administrators who cook the books on grades. You're not doing any favors for kids by letting them get into elite schools when they clearly are not prepared for the challenge.Highly Effective King Clovishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653858157695141774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-89243231360217178332018-06-04T12:58:28.814-04:002018-06-04T12:58:28.814-04:00Dont confuse racism and facts.

So As one of the founders I am also touched by racist comments.<br />Now I agree with James about being open about comments. But I also feel obligated to respond to the comments and since this guy is relentless in spewing uninformed right wing comments we could spend all day going back and forth.<br />And without a response, some of the comments might resonate with some readers - I know they do. <br />So let them start a blog and spew forth what they want.<br />That every single post no matter what the topic leads to the same drivel and takes everyone off topic is not civil liberties. <br />If this guy came to an ICE meeting he would be a joke. <br />So why should an organization give him a forum that goes against everything we believe?<br />ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-8525706169127286402018-06-03T17:39:41.976-04:002018-06-03T17:39:41.976-04:00Many give free grades.

Look at what has happened to Port Richmond HS and Tottenville HS. It's even spreading to the suburbs. Socialist group work, whatever gender you want in the bathrooms, your kids can't have their own pencil case (everything is "community supplies"). All this in a school district that votes "Red", to boot.

They don't see the irony of or telling black and brown people what is good for them (vote Democrat, depend on the government, etc.). If I point this out, I'm called a racist, alt-right, etc. and if my black and brown co-workers (or my high-achieving black and brown students) point this out they are called "Uncle Tom", sellout, "bougie", etc. I could go on, but this is not a political blog.<br /><br />What IS germane to this blog is that all this experimentation and fads James speaks of chiefly is done to kids in the segregated urban schools. One program after another and none of them work. Not for anyone except for the six-figure do-nothings from Tweed and all of the PD facilitators, curriculum developers from U Chicago and Columbia TC (can you get more white or elitist than the IVORY tower!), etc. Take for one example "restorative justice", guess who gets screwed the most!
