On Monday sophomores and a few juniors and seniors showed up at their Brooklyn charter high school, only to find out that the school's administration failed to pick up the Regents and now these students must wait to August to take the Global Regents and some of the seniors will not graduate in June.
It appears that the school's administration are set to resign at the end of the school year due to their lack of an administration license, as the City is cracking down on both uncertified teachers as well as administrators. Therefore, its possible the school administrators were either too lazy or simply incompetent for their failure to pick up the Global Regents in time to give it to the students.
This is the same charter high school where a 18 year old male student give brownies to a bunch of freshman girls that was laced with synthetic Marijuana Most of the girls got sick and were throwing up and many of them ended up in the hospital.
Like most charter high schools most of the teaching staff will not be returning next school year as wel as the administrators. This is due to a few factors like not being asked back, are not certified, or decided to go on to other schools or professions.The news media may love charter schools bu the truth is that the charter high schools are a very unstable educational facility with a transit teaching staff, unqualified administrators, and a student population that usually had trouble in their previous public schools before ending up at the charter high schools..
Chaz, is it possible to get the name of this school?
ReplyDeleteThese are the folks that paid parents to picket City Hall because Farina planned on putting ATRs in the classrooms of renewal schools. ATRs are far more qualified than unlicensed temps teaching classes they have no basic knowledge of.
ReplyDeleteShould be front page news and used as a significant example of why charters need to be regulated properly. Also should be a lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteDwarka does anal with strangers!
ReplyDeleteI am not defending charters, but is there really such a huge difference between so many of the problems identified in charters versus so many DOE schools? (unstability, underqualified administrators, high turnovers) cause I sure as hell aint seeing it. The problems that people who bash charters focus on are extremely prevalent in the DOE schools esp the shittier ones.
ReplyDeletethe city isn't going to do shit about uncertified teachers. at one ASSignment in the bronx the teacher in my license was never certified and he was going through the process while I was there. I applied for this job a few years back but never got a return call! guess my skin color was all wrong!!!!
ReplyDeleteCharter schools in NYS and other parts of the US have been used ideologically and structurally to destroy unions and privatize education. They have made the claim that they can deliver a superior product at a lower cost and do better for students and families. They have also suppressed a lot of negative information.
ReplyDeleteSo, when it comes out that they are no better, or worse, than public schools, it is important that the public is informed. It is important that voters and politicians are aware of the reality as well.
No doubt, there are problems in some public schools, but those should be addressed in another way besides giving charter schools a "pass" whether they are good or not.
Have you seen the new global test? It is downright awful - way over the heads of the typical tenth grader.
ReplyDelete@1:35pm way over the head of a nyc tenth grader, im sure an 8th grader in the suburbs could pass. you get where im going with this?
ReplyDeleteThis is one of their highly effective " best practices" that we hope they share with traditional public schools! Nice work!
ReplyDelete6:04 Exactly right!!! Notwithstanding, they have allowed these students to do less academically. These students then in turn learn how to pray the system that has been allowed by all the liberals. Free housing, free college, and free food. If you say the truth (which everyone I knows) you are branded a racist so you really can't win. The deck is now stacked against the white teacher. Soon we all be out of a job.
ReplyDeleteIts what the kids do with the free programs that count. Give the poor kids what they need to succeed.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is they don't succeed with the bonuses. The middle class parents could use the help.
Ill be funding two college tuitions and r&b, phones and cars. In happy as he'll to pay because my girls work hard in school and earn it. No public funding. What a waste to keep funding these mutants so they can be lifelong losers and dependents of the system I pay for too
55/25 You sir are a racist..LOL
