Indeed rain is very much wet

In short, prejudice.

Mongoloid is a racist term that refers to people of Asian descent. I have no doubt that it was adopted as a term for people with Downs because it was already considered a slur.

Used to live in Toronto when this guy was the head of the TTC. This guy knows his stuff, still wish he was head of the MTA.

EZ squirt was a failure?? I feel like i see people reminiscing about that all the time. Looks gross as all hell but still

I grew up in the public school system, there were problem kids that really affected classes. The only way past it was moving to another district. These children will still be taught but I just don’t understand why some children can’t flourish in nyc without leaving their neighborhood or shelling out 50k for a private education

I didn't go to a charter, but I went to a SHSAT school that also didn't have to have ESL or special ed classes or students and my experience going from middle to high school was night and day. Do you understand how much a boon it is to your mental health to no longer worry about being bitten by your fellow student, or to go to a class and everyone is there to actually learn instead of acting out in class? If charter schools are the only way other students can get the experience I had, fucking let them.

Children who need special resources and care are entitled to them, and I hope public schools continue to be able to give that to them, but there is absolutely no reason why other students have to be subjected to them and have their quality of education be attenuated.

Crony capitalism at its finest

Isn’t it? It’s taking money from the city to pay for the education of a number of children. It’s taking the excess and purchasing a building. Then, it’s charging the city to educate other children in that same building.

I actually, broadly, am in favor of charter schools. The problem I have is that, well, charter schools are a quasi-business and there are market forces at play for them that public schools have no control over, but still effect them.

When a charter school in an area does well, parents pull their kids out of local public schools and put them in the charter. I don't have a problem with that, though I also acknowledge that it quickly creates a stratified system where the only kids in charter schools speak fluent English and have no developmental disorders, and would also come from more moneyed families, leaving the public school in the area to basically be nothing but ESL, Special Ed and desperately poor students (who often fall into one of the other two categories, either). This creates a feedback loop; no parents want to put their kids in the public schools, the schools' funding dries up, and the schools start being closed down or downsized such as having to share buildings with charter schools.

Now, we have a new dynamic; the charter schools aren't renting space from the BoE to share a building with a public school anymore, they're now profiting from the public schools becoming shittier. It creates a perverse incentive, in my opinion, where the charter schools can now make money by diminishing the local public school to the point where they have to rent from the charter.

The School Construction Authority spends $X (including property acquisition) to build a 1000 seat school and borrows at Y%. The DOE spends $Z/year on building upkeep.

Success Academy offers to rent a 1000 seat space for the DOE for $A/year on a long-term lease.

If $A < $X * Y% + $Z, this is beneficial for the DOE.

They don't have to do anything about it. When Apple releases one, everything will think it's the coolest thing ever, and forget about privacy concerns.

They are legally mandated to be taught. The charters, which are publicly funded, kick out the problem cases. The kids go back to regular public schools. Then the charters advertise how their test scores are higher and their graduation rates are higher than regular public schools. They use this to justify funding more charters. As this cycle progresses, they suck up more and more of the public school funding due to the unfair playing field.

Show me an article written by that “publication” that clearly shows a white suspect. That should help clear up whether they address whites as whites or use “light complexion.”

Should superman hang out after he prevents a plane crash or should he fly off to save a bus of school kids from going over a cliff?

Oh please, it’s not about being “woke” in the opposite direction. It’s about being an adult. Editors and publications intentionally avoid addressing certain issues outright because of race.

A white kid shoots up a school and we need to address national gun control. Black people have been killing each other with guns in droves for the past 23 years and not a peep about gun violence.

Blacks actively targeted and killed asians during the pandemic, not a peep again. Had it been a white issue, they’d be equating modern violence to what Asians experienced in the 19th century.

There is a clear double standard.

Wtf are you talking about?

Who's yelling at people on Reddit? Are you ok?? You seem a bit troubled.

"Double Dipping" is charging twice for the same service/item. Hotels charging a mandatory "resort fee" is double dipping. This is providing two different services and getting paid for each of them.

You may not like the existence of charter schools (and there's plenty of reasons not to like them), but if you are renting a building to the city, it's not some great crime for the city to pay you market rent.

&#x200B;

EDIT: This is a serious concern,

>DOE is paying entire cost of the lease rather than per pupil amount, totaling nearly $43 million in FY 2023 – and in these cases, it is unclear if the rent charged to DOE is inflated or assessed at fair market value.

It was specifically because of Cuomo and his batshit behavior. There's a whole saga. Byford has talked about it pretty frankly.

I have zero idea what you are talking about. "Reports" as in documented incidents. Either via. Court case convictions, or articles about them.

You might get your info from Reddit. I don't.
