I haven't decided yet on whether to take the offer, but here is what I witnessed:<br /><br />1. The interviewer told us very bluntly: "Just because we had a movie made about us and our leader has been on Oprah doesn't mean this is utopia. Our students have a lot of problems, behavior and learning. It's not easy."<br /><br />2. Although the school has a uniform rule, from what I saw most of the kids transformed their neat vests into do-rags and others just refused to wear the uniform.<br /><br />3. There were kids running all over the hall, with no security guards to stop them.<br /><br />4. The girls were very rowdy and I witnessed a fight break out. <br /><br />5. There was practically no need for upper middle and high school teachers because they told us that currently the high school cohort only has 62 kids. 62 kids in an entire grade. This school accepts many more students in the early elementary grades, so you wonder what happened to the students who didn't make it to the "elite 62."<br /><br />In other words, there's a myth flying around that charter schools have better discipline and thus higher quality education. But from what I witnessed, it looked like a very typical urban public school.

In every one of those cases, the students in the public schools had to do more with less (a hallmark philosophy of the Bloomberg 12 miserable years), because charters were usurping facilities such as the gym, the locker rooms, the cafeteria, and most sadly, the library. Meanwhile, for profit making organizations who ran each of these charter schools gave nothing, absolutely nada back to the building in which they were sucking facilities and resources from. Finally, I worked in a DOE program that was eventually forced out of the building because the charter school was eating up space like a parasitic tape worm. Where did that leave our kids? Lastly, I know for a fact that charters do not replace the kids they send packing if they are deemed as behavioral problems or academic drags on their testing data. These are the kinds of things that the NYP and DN fail to talk about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-86542644084188766642014-03-02T08:39:27.259-05:002014-03-02T08:39:27.259-05:00All the moskowitz crocodile tears are coming out n...All the moskowitz crocodile tears are coming out now BOOOOOOHOOOO.
