That's what you get when you appoint a social worker as head of the Department of Education......not to mention to then appoint a former sex crimes lawyer as his chief assistant. WTF Bloomberg?

People that sit around all day thinking this stuff up just seem like they're literally another species from a different planet. I can't relate at all.

I can see their focus of what to worry about is spot-on now that they graduate every kid and they're all doing so well.

I will take this as validation of my position that NY teachers and their department of Education are Nanny State assclowns of the highest order.



Facilities, class sizes, STEM and critical thinking are going to hell in a hand basket, and THIS is what NY education is bothering with? REALLY?

I doubt this is so much "more left" as it is "stupidly prioritized in view of other needs", in poet's book.
