It seems ironic that they wrested this promise from him, as charter schools are perceived as an attempt to get away from the corrupt and ruined system he helped to bring about---"We'll give you 2 more years of being captain of this sinking ship that you bored holes in below the waterline if you allow us to add more lifeboats on the deck." This clearly shows that the children of NYC are perceived as pawns, and pawns only, in the dirty deal horse trading which occupies our legislators. This was the time to get their pet projects and pork slipped in, even the egotistic naming of a bridge after the governor's late father. The kids' welfare was the LAST thing on their minds. How else could anyone be aware of the vast slip in academic achievement, the demise of classroom discipline, the pointed harassment of teachers, the all-over fraud of the Common Core agenda and fake grades and go ahead and grant 2 more years at the helm of this disgrace to its creator? This should serve as a shrill clarion call to those of you who believe your elected legislators have your welfare and that of your children at heart. Actually, you are nothing but an ATM for their pet projects, which usually do nothing to benefit you, and your children are like the offspring of tribal leaders, to be handed off in loveless marriages to further political aims. Such is the trade which just occurred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
