    It’s not just a problem with the teachers. The whole system is rotten. Many kids go unsupported and fail due to it. Some may try to join the gangs and think school is worthless, some may have need for extra effort which isn’t their from parents or teachers. It’s unfortunate in such a huge beast like the NYC public school system, just like many others.

      It’s really a problem with the parents, and that causes problems with the administration which causes problems for the teachers.

      We also spend more than twice as much per student than any other country for these results 😑

            Don’t forget that most of the money that does make it to schools goes to sports programs. See my hometown’s new million dollar football field, ten-year-old textbooks and cancelled art program for reference.

              Yeah, I admittedly HAD happily forgotten about that particular awfulness for a moment, thanks for the reminder 😮‍💨
