  1. Does anyone think the doe will spend the money wisely? We could give them trillions and they’d hire more of their friends as consultants or hire more administrators. Not cutting the budget doesn’t necessarily result in lower class size.

    New: DOE is appealing this ruling in a new effort to remove the judge's temporary restraining order

    The city's interpretation of the judge's order is basically that DOE's funding is frozen at last year's levels

    Intentionally dragging out an investigation as tens of thousands of children are being denied an education is criminal.

  4. “Today’s smaller crop of children under five will translate to lower K-12 enrollment in years to come,” write the researchers. "It’s still a very open question, whether this exodus is a blip or a sign of things to come."

    New: The loss of families with children from cities is a key driver of declines in enrollment in urban districts — and this could actually get worse in coming years.

    1. Ya think?
      Union's favorite mandates have anything to do with it?

  6. Parents who didn’t want to deal with bullshit mandates and out of control crime and left NYC are some of my nicest new neighbors. A whole new crop of homes that were built 1/2 mile from my house is mostly filled with those escaping NYC. I bet their kids read at or above grade level too. Get ready to be blamed for reading scores decreasing in NYC. The DOE will never admit that the kids who left were among the strongest academically. They’ll just blame NYC teachers.

  7. Why would the DOE need to admit THAT. I just don't see the significance of your comment. Some NYC teachers are just serving as tools for the DOE. The DOE will of course blame their tools. If the DOE doesn't care about the students, they damn sure don't care about teachers. PS: Parents who can AFFORD to leave--leave. Many children who leave with their parents may be academically strong (your term) and many who stay are academically strong. What remains the same will be a system and system workers who harm the students who stayed.

  8. I live in one of the "better" school districts in Queens. Houses are being flipped faster and faster by younger people with children who invest little time in the community. We are just a way station to Herricks, Manhasset, Great Neck, etc.

  9. Sounds like the system that always harms students and never changes it’s evil ways should be disbanded. 28 thousand pays for private school.

  10. Good point, but private schools are becoming insanely expensive, and they don’t come with the supports that public schools do, or are supposed to have, nor would they be prepared for the kinds of issues they would have to deal with, not that all public schools are.
