They offer nothing: no sports not extra-curricular activities and no classes. The large schools offered 3, 4 or 3 even 5 language choices. These kids are forced to take the one that is offered - usually Spanish. Large schools have tons of sports for girls and boys - football basketball swimming golf handball softball baseball and others. Again small schools might have one sports team for the kids. And as far as extra courses and clubs, in the small schools there are very few choices if any for the kids. High school is a time to grow and explore options. Many of these small schools have classes in one hallway - boring. The schools have no tradition and no spirit - and they aren't going to build any because most of them will fail and most won't last.

By the time that this phase of education reform is ended as just another failure, the NYC Public School System will be made up of Small and Charter schools that open and close within the decade.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-37599315168514682492011-11-19T08:12:59.104-05:002011-11-19T08:12:59.104-05:00Unfortunately, rather than failing, Bloomberg/Klei...Unfortunately, rather than failing, Bloomberg/Klein/Walcott have been all too successful.<br /><br />Their intention from the first has been to destroy the neighborhood school as a locus of community involvement and identity. They have nearly finished off the high schools, are now attacking the middle schools, and will eventually sink their fangs into the elementary schools on a massive scale, if given the chance.<br /><br />As "educators" - sorry for the obscene joke - they are understood to be gross failures, but as profiteers and nihilists they are world class. That has been their intention from the start.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
