Think of all the wasted lives. Most of these kids will be on the government dole for the rest of their natural lives, if they're lucky enough not to be gunned down long before they reach this age.
This is what New Yorkers want. It is what they vote for over and over again. Nobody investigates because, really, nobody much cares. Leftist keep telling the low-information voter that Republicans are evil and that their idea for Charter Schools is baaaad.
And this school is a classic example of what the Marxists give to their people. Make no mistake, while this school may be somewhat worse, yet most every major city in the USA has many schools and districts just like the School of No.
And yet, this is what the people want. This is what people demand! If they didn't really want this they could change how they vote, plain and simple. But they refuse to vote for the other guys because their racists, haters, want to kill grandma and dirty the water and air.
But these people CHOOSE to listen to these lies and as long as they keep voting for the Marxists who profess love for them this is the type of love they'll get.
I have absolutely no sympathy or outrage. And I don't fault Principle Sills either. She's only doing what she was hired to do. The district certainly knew all about this yet does nothing. The vast expanse of the NYTimes knew about this, yet said nothing. Bloomberg knew about this, but did nothing. These people are deBlasio voters so I guarantee when any media focus dies down history will show that only window dressing changes were made and nothing will really change.
Sills doesn’t care...even if she’s fired (and the chances of that happening are virtually nil), she will sit in a rubber room for a few years and eventually retire, with a bigger pension than ever (all that time in administrative limbo still counts towards retirement, and she’ll receive full pay while the “system” decides her fate.
I’m guessing that Sills’s only regret is getting caught by the NY Post. After all, she had been getting by with her little scam for years, and there’s no way school administrators were unaware of their absentee principal. We can only imagine the number of NYC public schools being run in a similar manner.
Not surprised that few parents objected, either. After retiring from the military I taught for three years in a very poor school system in Mississippi. Our slowest day of the year was parent-teacher conference day. Less than 20% of the parents showed up. Most didn’t give a damn if their kids were passing, failing or even showing up.
