Success was promised more space in Queens under DeBlasio and that never came to fruition (that I'm aware of). Took matters into their own hands

Is it prejudice when Amex won't approve someone with a 500 FICO score?

So you want to force students of color to stay in schools that fail them?

Public education in NYC has had many, MANY, years of trying to better itself and increase student outcomes. When that shows failure, and the alternative shows progress, do you really blame folks for supporting entities like Success Academy?
Looks like the UFT people are downvoting 🤣

Problems are exacerbated by the existence and growth of charters.

I think NYC schools vary widely in quality, just as charters do. The more charters that exist in the system, the more resources, student talent, and tenacious parents flow out of the public system.

They absolutely do though.
"Police described the suspect as a male with a light complexion and medium build. He was last seen wearing a brown hat, black mask, multicolored jacket, and black plants."
That was what they released about the vandal who slashed all the tires at the 112th precint last month.

>According to the report’s data, 64% of those assaults were committed by black persons, 17% by Muslims or Arabs, 11% by Hispanics and 3% by white persons.
There, I saved everybody a click.

Do you think the Philadelphia Public School system was properly educating Children of Color before charter schools existed?

That makes sense, I’m never in TS. I wonder how that hurts Tourism as it’s a Tourist hub.

NYC had a good housing voucher system for homeless people back when Bloomberg was mayor but he and Cuomo had a dispute over the funding and basically killed the program overnight leaving landlords with tenants who couldn’t pay.
So they haven’t trusted voucher systems ever since.

>Success Academy is a non-profit, anything it earns from renting to public schools will be reinvested with the goal of improving its educational practices, it won’t just pocket the money
They pocket it via $200K+ exec salaries.

So now do you think NYC public schools are giving Children of Color a proper education?

Yeah I used to work in homeless services and back when Bloomberg was mayor there was actually a pretty good housing voucher program that helped a lot of people get off the street. The state and city shared the expense and landlords generally trusted it and took on these tenants.
But then Bloomberg decided the city was paying too much and tried to play chicken with Cuomo by pulling the city’s portion of funding. Well, Cuomo called his bluff and also pulled the state’s portion of funding effectively killing the program.
So a lot of landlords were suddenly left with people who had no way to pay the full amount of rent. And they haven’t forgotten that experience.
So because of those two egotistical dickheads having a pissing match, landlords are very wary of any government vouchers for rent.
