I asked him, "Had you married an Asian would you still be upset that they dominate the tests?" <br /><br />I personally think the city needs to have an exam for specialized high schools and I also think it is a fair exam. Plus, I have talked to Asian leaders and begged them not to leave the DOE system. If the Asian students decided to go private or charter - our graduation rate goes back to 44 percent in year, 15 percent of 3 to 8 will remain on grade level and over 30 percent of NY CIty teachers will become alcoholics overnight.<br /><br />In another words - do not PISS off the Asian community. This is all we have that is keeping us afloat.

Those 3 groups plus the 3% multiracial makes 79% minority.<br /><br />Don't fall into the DeBlasio/Carranza trap of "Asians don't count". <br /><br />The fact that Asian minorities, many of whom are immigrants or first-generation American, do so well, is the checkmate against all their BS about "white privilege" and the system being out to get minorities. Minorities are doing very well, and everyone - including whites - ought to check out what Asians are doing right instead of being jealous of their success.TJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080823411092014871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-83323863854669460792018-08-03T12:45:09.409-04:002018-08-03T12:45:09.409-04:00TJL:

Thank you. I did not buy into the 55/25 program b/c as the age of 53 I will have 30 years. I have a 2 part question related to my situation. <br /><br />1. Obviously I know I can retire at 55 with a 63% pension. But what is my option if I leave at 53 with 30 years? Do I collect full pension of 60% at 55 or I have to wait to 62? <br /><br />2. Can I leave the job at 25 years of service at the age of 48 and collect 50% pension at 55 or do I have to wait until 62?<br /><br />Thank you. I have some opportunities but am seeking help with these 2 questions. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-63927745424168999352018-08-02T16:17:46.939-04:002018-08-02T16:17:46.939-04:00Betsy DeVos wants to really strengthen career and ...Betsy DeVos wants to really strengthen career and technical education.

For 2018 & 2019 the buzz word will be diversity. Remember when it was Danielson or data or differentiated instruction etc... <br /><br />For the next two years we will keep hearing about diversity. Specialized high schools and specialized high school entrance exam and more diversity and less segregation.<br /><br />Well, I was at a coffee shop in midtown earlier today and by coincidence sat next to a guy named Charles. Charles appeared homeless & mentally ill at first sight but after speaking to him I realized he is totally sane. As a matter of fact he told me something that I promised him I won't repeat. Turned out Charles is one who creates the themes or the flavor of the month topics for the DOE.<br /><br />He told me after diversity the next topic will be "genetics". He would not elaborate but kept saying "genetics, genetics" . He continued "genetics bitch - I said genetics bitch."

So I must point out a mistake you made where you said "In fact, Brooklyn Tech had a majority minority student population.". Tech has a majority minority population NOW!! 79% to be exact. And, to boot, Stuy is at 80%. "Economically Disadvantaged" is over half (62%) at Tech and almost half (43%) at Stuy. (All the above at NYSED, from '15-'16).<br />TJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080823411092014871noreply@blogger.com
