But how can it be done when schools are already using closets as classrooms and are at 120 percent capacity. In some utopia type of world sure.....but its not realistic.<br /><br />Second to blame anyone but city parents is just wrong. Everyone knows it is not the principal, not the chancellor, not the mayor or the teacher that is mostly responsible formthe development of a child. Its the parents that must be held accountable. When I have a mom living in a shelter with 9 kids and she is allow to use the race card, the poverty card, and the its everyone elses fault but hers then there is no hope. Time to put the blame and the accountability where it belongs.....in the householdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-11074576428419222542014-12-31T18:20:05.948-05:002014-12-31T18:20:05.948-05:00The UFT in particular should support recombining t...The UFT in particular should support recombining the small campus schools into large schools.

This was born out of necessity, not our job descriptions or what any of us signed up for. Very few of us are disgruntled over that fact. What is disheartening is comments like yours and the media's that attempt to blame us for much of society's ills as it pertains to these students. I would suggest you volunteer in a local high school ( you'll probably be denied because of the inherent danger) or talk to some teachers about what is demanded from them.

Bloomberg handed over power to students that they are too immature to handle, by expanding the definition of corporal punishment to include "making the student feel nervous or afraid" and other such PC nonsense. To the point where students routinely threaten teachers who DARE to enforce discipline or expect completion of schoolwork with, "I'm gonna get you fired, b__h!", rounding up a few buddies to write false allegations against their teacher. This HAS to be reversed so that discipline and other normal classroom expectations can actually be carried out. <br /><br />Also, it is not the government's job, nor is it even possible, for the government to unilaterally solve the social problems of the lower socioeconomic classes. They've been throwing government money at this for untold decades, with the same abysmal rate of utter failure. It is up to PEOPLE to want to change their lot in life, not the government. Don't run out and get pregnant by multiple men and live a life of welfare. Many studies have shown that single parent homes without a father have much lower success rates in the children's academic achievement. Don't neglect doing your classwork/homework. That's your ticket OUT of another cycle of poverty. Don't get involved in drugs. They will destroy any chance of rising above poverty. Mothers need to lay down a strict line of discipline, so that another adult (like a teacher) asking for quiet or other discipline doesn't come as SUCH a big insurmountable surprise which cannot be obeyed. <br /><br />None of these things can be done by the government, only the people. Time for them to stop their blaming everyone except themselves and do their part to ensure their children's success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-32694846327553246682014-12-30T11:05:15.451-05:002014-12-30T11:05:15.451-05:00Excellent ideas, Chaz.

I also agree that segregation in NYC schools is a hugh problem. I remember years ago teaching a kid who told me he hated all white people. I asked, "Do you hate me?" "No, not you." "How many white people do you know?" "You're the only one." 20 plus years later and I've still never taught a white kid! If kids (of any race) grow up not knowing any other groups, they believe the stereotypes. It fosters mistrust and fear.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.com
