I benefited from the sort of school akin to the type in <a href="http://nycityeye.blogspot.com/2009/10/shame-of-city-v-overcrowding-result-of.html" rel="nofollow">Shame of the City V.</a> And it really hurts me to see the second-rate standard being delivered to the African-American and Latino children in our city, <i>with our tax dollars</i> -"NOT IN OUR NAME." Is this what the litigants of Brown vs. Board of Education wanted to see for their grandchildren or great-granchildren in the 2000s?NY_Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096916154657469029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958525356631767583.post-44021620057905709202009-10-04T14:00:39.474-04:002009-10-04T14:00:39.474-04:00Excellent postExcellent postJUSTICE not "just us"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05502604957951804040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958525356631767583.post-4915582584010782172009-10-04T10:38:20.626-04:002009-10-04T10:38:20.626-04:00I couldn't agree with you more.

NYS does mandate graduation requirements, and it is the BloomKlein chancellorship that has chosen to treat some of the ones for middle school as "recommendations," not mandates. <br />(State requirements for HS grad'n here: http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/gradreq/2009GradReqDetails.html, posted on schools.nyc.gov as well, albeit with a strange footnote on the arts. Middle school requirements here: www.emsc.nysed.gov/part100/pages/require.pdf. )<br /><br />Are these being followed? I know some schools don't have music teachers and kids aren't getting gym every term. <br /><br />Klein & Co. act outside the law, they do not take advice from people who know something about educating children, and they hire lawyers to institutionalize what they want and PR people to sell it to the public (through a compliant press).<br /><br />The BloomKlein chancellorship is a fraud through and through.Under Assaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222267229529062957noreply@blogger.com
