Success Academy is gonna get hundreds of thousands in funding for each school from the DOE at the start of each school year, kick out the 10 worst performing students in each class (worst performing meaning just not excelling, not violent or with learning disabilities), send those kids to the local public school and keep the funding. Local public school will then be forced to stretch the funding they got for 600 kids in September to cover 850 kids they now have in November. I’ve seen it happen time and time and time again. Charter schools are bad for communities.

Oh fuck you and your enabling bullshit. The reason you call him a patriot is because you're equally full of shit.

LOL youre a fucking nutter

Block.

Thank you.

Can you actually bring some counter points to the table or are you just babbling with nothing to contribute to this discussion?

Edit: I genuinely want to hear what is so bad about George Santos, I wish I could have voted for him in my district.

I have, the black friends I've confronted about it thought it was hilarious

I love how they immediately disavow anyone of color from being part of their club. Used to be a black dude with a MAGA hat on the M train that would rant about China and Mexico every day.

There is evidence that charter schools, particularly Success Academy, may be over charging the city for rents. The agreement is for the city to pay rent per student and Success seems to be billing for the entire lease of buildings regardless of the number of students.

Because they negotiate real estate deals themselves, it's possible that this could be deliberate to enrich the developers they're working with.

Audits and investigations are needed.

Stuff like the continued ADA station rollout, contactless payment, and signal modernization were things that he spearheaded. The trains in 2017 were an absolute shitshow, and he managed to turn it around. He wasn't a magic bullet—the MTA remains a terribly inefficient organization, and fact that Cuomo could effectively strip him of authority to undermine him demonstrates the limits of what he was able to accomplish—but the city would absolutely be worse off without his term here.

If the charters are overcharging on rent (charging full lease instead of agreed upon per student rent) and using this money to pay for above market rates that they negotiated, then they're enriching someone on state/city tax funds, possibly illegally.

Huh, I guess that’s the one thing he didn’t do.

Shit troll continues to be shit. More news at 9.

So? Not like democrats didn’t use fraud to obtain their current positions. They should be focusing on the purge literally happening daily in the streets, not a patriot who made a few mistakes

Eva Moskowitz gets paid nearly $1,000,000 each year for running Success Academy. That's pretty dam good for non-profit work.

A trivial amount of follow-up fixes that.

"Why do you want a faster horse?"
"So that I can get to my destination faster."
"What if I sold a machine that was faster than a horse that could be maintained like a tool rather than an animal?"
"That sounds good so far.."

People are bad at expressing themselves but it's easy to help them.

Then a couple of government blowhards starting measuring their dicks and that guarantee is not so solid.

How much research have you done on charter schools?

Lots of landlords are concerned not by vouchers (the rent payments are fine) but by terms/docs that must be signed (ie agreeing not raise rents etc). If voucher was just payment then I think some of these issues might be reduced

And no one is stopping you from making whatever assumptions you want.

You have links or sources with the performance data

Weird how conservatives are always looking for ways to excuse their own actions.

Hey let’s not forget their bitter rival, Success Link Charter Children Gold Zone New Project America 🇺🇸, where all teachers are new and they burn out after a two-year contract, leaving the kids perpetually taught by stressed, inexperienced teachers. God bless capitalism.

And he doesn't have good taste in ramen.

>Plenty of management in DOE/Tweed make that but student outcomes are 🗑️🔥

It's almost as if charters immediately abandon struggling students who might hurt their stats
