"You are anti children, you are anti jobs, you are anti benefits, you are anti working class." Said a overpaid unionized school teacher who doesn't like to compete.
Bennett McCoy Most teacher are under qualified and over paid based on my three years experience in public schools. I found my peers to be childish and intellectually inferior. I came to education after a 20 year career in healthcare as a career changer. I now run an investment firm.
Both these schools are successes because they to two things, they teach to a basic standard, and hold people accountable (teachers, students, and parents). This is not unreasonable.
Instill in a kid the attitude that they’ll be successful if they work hard and they’ll work hard and be successful. Instill in a kid the attitude that they’ve been victims for 300 years and they’ll continue to be victims for 300 more.
Stir It Up this mentality comes from the inner city parent. the continuation of the perpetual victim that imprisons the mind is vibrant in the inner city of New York. In the inner city, great importance is placed on sneakers than on the mind or soul.
If they actually taught these kids to be a functioning member of society they would stop voting democrat, and start voting Republican. The entire schooling system is supposed to teach kids to be victim and vote Democrat. That's why they won't actually make these changes.
bruh as a father go fuck urself I work everyday my wife stays at home to take care of our kid. Support everyone I sacrifice everyday. I’m sorry u have such a depressive view of men.
It doesn't take a village it takes a hero or hero's people who have a simple and clear vision to help people. This was a great video and it shows me the tide is turning.
Evidence based solutions, no less. How can anybody with a conscience not have every school like this? I don't care what it would take to fund it, in 2 generations you'd completely turn around society.
Great video ReasonTV!! At the time I'm posting this comment, there is already one "thumbs down", so we know at least one public education employee has seen this video....and is getting worried.
It’s funny that while in government school I was taught that monopolies are evil leading to reduced quality and much higher prices. That pretty much sums up the government school system. No need to provide high quality education or worry about costs.
It's so important that parents have choice. Success Academy and Icahn both great schools. Parents can choose one or the other based on what works best for them.
The concept of the public schools was to educate the masses enough to make them good little workers bees. That was it. And while many teachers fight to do more, it is still the basic idea of the system: Everyone is the same, fit everyone into this little box that works best for what we think society should be. Teach what to think, not how to think.
This illustrates how disgusting the teacher's unions really are. It would take absolutely no effort or cost to flip a switch and let this same system take over all the city schools in a single year. With autonomy and market forces the schools would just get better each year. Saying parents would not have the intelligence to know which school is the better one to send their kids too is like saying they can't tell whether it's day or night. We are talking about something that would radically change the entire culture of the city and the country in terms of crime, jobs, poverty, technology, freedom etc. etc. That is why the left established the system and is holding on to it so tight. Brainwashing and dumbing down of the entire population is the only way they can advance their cultural, political and economic agendas. This fight for school choice is a lynch pin in the battle for liberty in our society.
It's not always the unions. It is the massive bureaucracy that school systems have. My kids went to school in Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburb of Washinton DC. The school system has a budget of over $2 billion, around $25,000 per student if memory serves. In the fourth grade, my daughter's math class had no text books. Why? The entire school system had adopted a new math curriculum but didn't have the budget to buy new text books for every school. Why not use last year's curriculum until you get the new books? Horrors! You would have thought that I had suggested ritual sacrifices in the gym. The local high school was forced by the school board to change its mascot, "The Indians" because someone in another state complained. No local Indians cared and went on record saying, "We're no offended." Still, a sacrifice to the god of PC had to be made. So the team became the Falcons. New signs, new stationery, new clocks, walls had to be painted, part of the hallway floor had to be redone, all the teams needed new uniforms, and the town's water tower had to be repainted. Cost? About a half million dollars. Money for political correctness but no money for books.
It's the closet racism raising its head again. "Those parents are too dumb to make their own choices." Got the same thing from these people on Voter ID: "Voter ID is racist, because 'those people' are too stupid and helpless to acquire a picture ID." By labeling people as helpless, they create helpless people. And that's what they WANT, because they get to lord it over them, due to their helplessness. Liberalism is a crippling mind-set, and it cripples EXACTLY the people it purports to help. From public education to the welfare state to you name it. "You're just too dumb to choose or do anything for yourself; therefore, we will choose and do FOR you, and you will just have to shut up and take it, because it's for your own good." Liberalism = condescension on steroids. ALL people want to be held to a high standard, and ACHIEVE that high standard. Liberals want everyone to achieve, and the way they get there is by lowering standards! It's an insult, and it makes no sense that people vote for the Democrats who embody this message and this approach to the body politic. You're too stupid to get a better job, so we'll fix things so you can get $15/hour for this shit job. MY first job, I wasn't worth anywhere NEAR a living wage. As an undersized 12-year-old, only my HEART was big enough to buck those hay bales. My body? Not so much. But I worked my ass off all day long stacking the bales that the bigger kids threw up from the wagon. I could at LEAST get those bales to chest level and stack them one tier above my head, with lots of body English. At the end of the day, I was heartbroken at how little I was paid for how hard I worked, and the bigger kids got paid double (or MORE than double), but I KNEW that they were WORTH double (or more than double), because they got a LOT more done. Throwing 60-pound bales up into the loft so that 70-pound weakling can stack them is way more work. And worth way more to old Hank Flower. He took the sting out by taking us all out to dinner and letting the midget order anything he wanted. Well, I wanted a large pepperoni pizza, and I ate every bite, to the amazement of old Hank. But that job taught me what hard work really was, and every job after haying was a cake walk. If Hank had had to pay minimum wage of $15/hr to ALL of us, he wouldn't have let me work at ALL. Couldn't afford it.

What would happen in a free market system would be that all government schools would go bankrupt within a few years. Parents and students would choose the better alternatives, the outcome would improve dramatically and costs would decrease.
And that would be just fine by me. When you KNOW that this would result in better outcomes for more students, you MUST conclude that the teacher unions and the bureaucracy are in it for themselves. And that's fine. It's human nature. But in a free market, those who didn't perform would simply go out of business. Be as selfish as you want. But serve your selfishness by being COMPETITIVE, so you can keep that nice gig you've got. Only free markets and competition put your selfishness in line with the greater good. If you want to prosper, you must do good things. In a bureaucratic system, you just have to learn to play the game, and the product quality and price are a distant 2nd.
What would happen in a free market system would be that the poverty classes would be consigned to public schools, and only those who had the means would be able to send their children to better schools. This system is alive and well in India, to the detriment of its citizens.

Foerdi94 "the whole of the US covered with such Schools" I'll bet that back when there was a little school building every couple of farmsteads, they all probably operated pretty much like charter schools.
Meh. Just give parents vouchers equal in value to what the public spends per pupil. That'd be a good start. But eventually - especially if you're libertarian - education should become a high-quality, low-price product that we purchase for ourselves, as needed, just like food, clothing and shelter. Going to "public school" should be a pretty rare occurrence, only engaged in by a miniscule fraction of the population in utterly terrible circumstances. Or maybe just a temporary thing after a flood or other natural disaster. But to think that the vast majority of Americans send their children to these worthless (and expensive) institutions is one of the saddest things about America. We could turn it all around in a few years, just with vouchers and a little competition. But ultimately, it needs to be something that parents just buy for their kids like they buy shoes.
@@harrymills2770 That would be a good start. Public education is getting progressively worse and worse. Intellectuals and everyone else can realise this too. But bureaucrats keep throwing money at public education hoping it undergoes some transformative explosion when education is become more and more rigid. Charter schools introduce the cognitive hierarchies which facilitate a modem for successful education. Not all charter schools are good, but the ones that do get it right; get it right. Which is the model that education all around the world should follow. Which is why private schools which follow competent educational systems, produce highly successful students. While public education all around the world, have incorporated the corrupt, rigid base line of how fixed hierarchical structures would be. Bureaucrats are the exact opposite to those you'd want to have political power in situations like these. Bunch of incompetent mother fuckers. Which is why I'm either gonna home school - private school my kids ass when I have one. I like the idea of handout vouchers especially in the hands of those in inner city which can afford to those at the bottom spectrum of the economy to escape inner city public school shit holes and pull in some potentially competent charter / private schools. But bureaucrats, especially inner city. Fight for votes by insinuating that they know best and reinvest more and more into a bad system. I wonder why inner cities are the worst places in america 🤔🤔.. could be due to anti-business stance most leftist bureaucrat fucks take. They never improve anything no matter how many billions are pumped into their cities. Most just close off business opportunity which could create incremental rises in factors all across the socioeconomic landscape. God damn incompetent people running those places. God damn. I'll stop ranting.
First and best thing any parent can do for their children is get them OUT of the government schools. Anything is better. Even nothing (unschooling) is better.
I love the comparison between Success and Icahn, and that's how a market should work. Competing systems pushing each other to do better and better. Costs go down, results improve, everyone wins. We can't afford to not let the market drive innovation in education.
If this is what he could do for minority kids with one parent; just imagine having both parents and white kids. The real improvement I see here is the school replaces the neglecting, or non-existant parents.
Subversive Intentions Exactly. The boy with the jumper on looks so humble because the superintendant is probably the first person to ever tell him why he feels so hot and worn out all the time.
I still love teaching, but I'm on my way out, because the bureaucracy is so out of touch with the actual teaching and learning. And they put up barriers to best teaching and learning in the name of "success." And NOWadays, it's getting super-toxic and super-expensive, because of the multiculturalism and political correctness. If only I'd talk down to people of other races, I would fit right in. But I treat everybody the same, which is now considered politically incorrect, because of the wide variety of "lived experiences" in the classroom. Nobody ever cared about MY lived experience. They just expected me to perform, and expected me to KNOW what came before the next class, instead of "Oh, you're such-and-such color, so we'll just re-teach that last class that you forgot everything from (or more like, that your last teacher didn't cover, because it might impede your "success." One-size-fits-all education is no longer necessary, and it's terribly inefficient. We can teach directly to the skill level of the student, and keep them at that one lesson until they master it, before dumping them into the NEXT class on the NEXT level, with holes in their foundation. But that's how liberals define "success." Passing. Passing someone who doesn't have ALL the skills needed to master the next class just passes the buck to the next teacher, assuming the next teacher doesn't do what 90% of public school teachers do, and pass that kid (SUCCESS!) and pass the buck to the NEXt teacher. For years, it's been the college teachers who had to tell kids who were promoted inappropriately that they don't have the prerequisite knowledge. Now, even in college, they expect you to teach "down" to the students' level, instead of the (what used to be) strict standards adhered to in college. So now we pass the buck on up through college and into the workplace, and we wonder what's wrong, because everybody in sight is "successful." Liberals live on Lake Woebegone, where all the kids are above average.
"One Size Fits All" is the quintessential government solution to all problems. It's a symptom of a system that is categorical in nature and is unable to make marginal trade-offs (as Thomas Sowell described in his book "Basic Economics").
Big fan.He's changing the culture.unrestricted government issued vouchers to schools that Focus on IQ,aptitude,personality, gender differences Help the child be the best they can be.We are all different .
Gentleman reminds me of Mr Saul Bruckner, the principal of Edward R Murrow in Brooklyn, NY, for over 40 years. A true educator and entirely devoted to his students, walking the halls calling everyone by their first name. Good luck sir.
How did the walls of the school come to be covered in graffiti and urine? The students did not respect the facility and did not value education. What is the definition of an animal?
Furrowed Brow Perhaps the facility doesn’t deserve respect. Keep in mind, I am an actual high schooler. Many of my peers know that public education deserves nothing but a footnote in history class.
Support the teachers, don't worry about the students. Support the troops, don't worry about the wars. Support your political party, don't worry about the ideas. And so on...
Education does not start and end during the school hours. It must continue in the home with the parent taking an active role in child's continued education. If the inner city parent is not educated enough to re-enforce that knowledge, then how can the inner city educational problems be eradicated? Additionally, I shoud not need to act as a father figure to any child but only as a mentor. The father figure should come from the father.
"They're [provisionally] my kids. I share them with by parents but they are [provisionally] my kids.' Supplying what maybe should not have been elided. :)
Geez Mr Cunningham put a chill in me! Yes sir Mr Cunningham I will do a book report on Moby Dick, Chaucer and Shakespeare this weekend! On a serious note, this is a wonderfully inspiring video!
😳 who would 👎 this video of Teachers doing a Excellent job Teaching Children in a poor community? America needs caring and intelligent people teaching in our schools
A good man doing good. I'd say that public systems with less regulation could still have a place but that's a long way off it seems. These charter schools will help push forward change one way or another.
This is what black Americans need. We're going to have to solve our problems without the government. In fact, we'll have to battle the government to live better lives.
Great Video. And Charter Schools are a great alternative. Thing is teachers unions will do their best to prevent them. After all as far as they are concerned, its not about the kids but about self interest.
Teacher Union is needed!!! These charter schools are brutal to teachers. They can spit you out at any time of the year and for any reason. Charter school provides NO PENSION!! No TENURE!! And benefits suck!!
It seems like a lot of your vids about education come out of NYC. Is stuff like this happening elsewhere or is NYC a special case? I'm interested in learning more about this topic but I'm actually pretty ignorant about the schooling system.
That makes sense, but I think if these became the norm and everyone around you is succeeding by following a certain formula, more and more parents will fall in line.
Just curious: what is the level of CIVICS classes --- presentation of USA foundational values --- at these institutes? PS: from what I could see, from these videos alone, these Charter Schools are leaps and bounds above the miserable levels of the public govt schools [aka: govt indoctrination centers].
Capitalism is rooted in competition. Let the free market loose on K12 teaching. I guarantee the education our young ones get will be better than ever before.
You people don't seem to realize that the main reason the government hasn't been allowed to privatize education is that the private schools would naturally become segregated.
My son goes to a very diverse charter. When he was in public school kids would self-segregate at lunch. At his charter, no group self-segregates. Consider that you assumptions may be wrong.
So it’s all about the test scores, as shown by the fact that the children who replace Icahan’s graduates often have a lot of catching up to do, and so bring down the overall test scores of the school, thereby making Icahan #2 charter school, instead of #1 charter school.
if i was president, ill present a bill saying the DOE should be abolished, and 4 other bills dicating how we usee our infrastructure, military, while elimating social programs, and disallowing states to profit from the federal government by setting funding caps.
I’d like to know how much chatter school teachers make? It’s a hard job and they should be compensated as such. I’m not talking about crazy union rates.
My biggest worry is how do private/charter schools deal with drug offenders. I was caught with marijuana at my public school and I got instant expulsion from any school within my county and I was sent to an alternative school for the "troubled youth"... Needless to say I got into more trouble in that alternative school, and the school system that I was apart of shunned me out and called the authorities on me.
@@orppranator5230 The rich can still have them. 2 adults both working full time with no kids will have a much better chance of getting by. Than a couple with children and either only one works or they spend everything on childcare.
Somebody get that guy a comedy show! "On da weekend I don't wayya socks" "Ya gonna get blistuhs!" "Ya got too much on. It's too hot." "No I'm not gonna turn up the aayyYYYYAAA conditionuh!"
The private sector is ALWAYS better than the government at the same task. Government education is the welfare of education. It's a shame we all pay for that terrible system
This school might not be that good. If they are accepting the creme of the crop of the students than of course they are going to be better the public, they took all the good kids. If they get random or even bad kids than it is the charter school that is doing the good. The problem and benefit of public school is that they take in all students, no matter if they are trouble makers of straight A's. Overall I support the idea of having a choice, but the kid should also have a say in the process also.

Bureaucrats are the exact opposite to those you'd want to have political power in situations like these. Bunch of incompetent mother fuckers. Which is why I'm either gonna home school - private school my kids ass when I have one. I like the idea of handout vouchers especially in the hands of those in inner city which can afford to those at the bottom spectrum of the economy to escape inner city public school shit holes and pull in some potentially competent charter / private schools. But bureaucrats, especially inner city. Fight for votes by insinuating that they know best and reinvest more and more into a bad system. I wonder why inner cities are the worst places in america 🤔🤔.. could be due to anti-business stance most leftist bureaucrat fucks take.
They never improve anything no matter how many billions are pumped into their cities. Most just close off business opportunity which could create incremental rises in factors all across the socioeconomic landscape. God damn incompetent people running those places. God damn. I'll stop ranting.
Great video. Great outcome for those kids.
I wish we had charter schools in my country.
Siegetower Is your country Finland?
Bushrod Rust Johnson Definitely not.
Don't let the video fool you!
Imagine that, a little discipline and EFFECTIVE education vs the free for all and waste of typical Public schools.
How long does it take you to fall in love.
Me, 1 second, 8:00 he could not hide his Humanity, such a beautiful soul.
First and best thing any parent can do for their children is get them OUT of the government schools.
Anything is better. Even nothing (unschooling) is better.
I love the comparison between Success and Icahn, and that's how a market should work. Competing systems pushing each other to do better and better. Costs go down, results improve, everyone wins. We can't afford to not let the market drive innovation in education.
At 7:07 that was me with the glasses. It was blue or black. I love Icahn!
Omgggg Some kids featured in this graduated last year (this is my school btw) also I’m in 8th grade graduation in june
If this is what he could do for minority kids with one parent; just imagine having both parents and white kids. The real improvement I see here is the school replaces the neglecting, or non-existant parents.
Subversive Intentions Exactly. The boy with the jumper on looks so humble because the superintendant is probably the first person to ever tell him why he feels so hot and worn out all the time.
+Siegetower nope its called acting He keep his sweater on the ac in those hallways are strong
and minority? We are Priority because of test scores and no one there in those school mainly Icahn 4 is poor
Wish there were more of Jeff Litt and Eva Mosckovitz. they are passionate about what they do.
I still love teaching, but I'm on my way out, because the bureaucracy is so out of touch with the actual teaching and learning. And they put up barriers to best teaching and learning in the name of "success." And NOWadays, it's getting super-toxic and super-expensive, because of the multiculturalism and political correctness. If only I'd talk down to people of other races, I would fit right in. But I treat everybody the same, which is now considered politically incorrect, because of the wide variety of "lived experiences" in the classroom.
Nobody ever cared about MY lived experience. They just expected me to perform, and expected me to KNOW what came before the next class, instead of "Oh, you're such-and-such color, so we'll just re-teach that last class that you forgot everything from (or more like, that your last teacher didn't cover, because it might impede your "success."
One-size-fits-all education is no longer necessary, and it's terribly inefficient. We can teach directly to the skill level of the student, and keep them at that one lesson until they master it, before dumping them into the NEXT class on the NEXT level, with holes in their foundation. But that's how liberals define "success." Passing. Passing someone who doesn't have ALL the skills needed to master the next class just passes the buck to the next teacher, assuming the next teacher doesn't do what 90% of public school teachers do, and pass that kid (SUCCESS!) and pass the buck to the NEXt teacher.
For years, it's been the college teachers who had to tell kids who were promoted inappropriately that they don't have the prerequisite knowledge. Now, even in college, they expect you to teach "down" to the students' level, instead of the (what used to be) strict standards adhered to in college. So now we pass the buck on up through college and into the workplace, and we wonder what's wrong, because everybody in sight is "successful."
Liberals live on Lake Woebegone, where all the kids are above average.
"One Size Fits All" is the quintessential government solution to all problems. It's a symptom of a system that is categorical in nature and is unable to make marginal trade-offs (as Thomas Sowell described in his book "Basic Economics").
Awesome!
Lean on me is basically a documentary of this story; great movie!

Gentleman reminds me of Mr Saul Bruckner, the principal of Edward R Murrow in Brooklyn, NY, for over 40 years.
A true educator and entirely devoted to his students, walking the halls calling everyone by their first name.
Good luck sir.
Anyone else see the wings on this absolute angel of a man!?
How did the walls of the school come to be covered in graffiti and urine?
The students did not respect the facility and did not value education.
What is the definition of an animal?
@Jak świat się kręci.
Only a child would believe that.
Furrowed Brow Perhaps the facility doesn’t deserve respect.
Keep in mind, I am an actual high schooler. Many of my peers know that public education deserves nothing but a footnote in history class.

You dont know what you dont know.
He is just an Icahn living
Lol haha
ill be sure to tell him next time i see him lol (hes my grandpa [well zaida sinse were jewish])
Hooray for the kids fortunate enough to be in these charter schools
Thank you 💝
Support the teachers, don't worry about the students. Support the troops, don't worry about the wars. Support your political party, don't worry about the ideas. And so on...
Jeff is soooo litt
Education does not start and end during the school hours. It must continue in the home with the parent taking an active role in child's continued education. If the inner city parent is not educated enough to re-enforce that knowledge, then how can the inner city educational problems be eradicated?
Additionally, I shoud not need to act as a father figure to any child but only as a mentor. The father figure should come from the father.
"They're [provisionally] my kids. I share them with by parents but they are [provisionally] my kids.'
Supplying what maybe should not have been elided. :)
Little things mean a LOT!

I wanted to work in that ER because they see more trauma and gun shot wounds than anyone. What a great learning experience.
I go to icahn 4 too
Geez Mr Cunningham put a chill in me! Yes sir Mr Cunningham I will do a book report on Moby Dick, Chaucer and Shakespeare this weekend! On a serious note, this is a wonderfully inspiring video!
😳 who would 👎 this video of Teachers doing a Excellent job Teaching Children in a poor community?
America needs caring and intelligent people teaching in our schools
This my school
"On the weekend, I don't wear socks."

"Okay."
just between us bro...

A good man doing good. I'd say that public systems with less regulation could still have a place but that's a long way off it seems. These charter schools will help push forward change one way or another.
This is what black Americans need. We're going to have to solve our problems without the government. In fact, we'll have to battle the government to live better lives.
Cool, now lemme see a middle school like this (or high school)
I mean, I graduated from one as valedictorian. I think it's served me well
Great Video. And Charter Schools are a great alternative. Thing is teachers unions will do their best to prevent them. After all as far as they are concerned, its not about the kids but about self interest.
Teacher Union is needed!!! These charter schools are brutal to teachers. They can spit you out at any time of the year and for any reason.
Charter school provides NO PENSION!! No TENURE!! And benefits suck!!
It seems like a lot of your vids about education come out of NYC. Is stuff like this happening elsewhere or is NYC a special case? I'm interested in learning more about this topic but I'm actually pretty ignorant about the schooling system.
I go to this school I'm in ichan 3
Brielle Steed hiii Brielle lol
MORKECIA GOULBOURNE hi morkecia u saw terria right?
my school👏
This is my school I Charter School school 3
3:03 Wow, the pep rally where they chant “don’t steal” blows my mind. . . Like how rampant is it?
it is easy to overlook the fact that children and parents involved in charter schools are more engaged than children at your average public school.
That makes sense, but I think if these became the norm and everyone around you is succeeding by following a certain formula, more and more parents will fall in line.
@@jasondashney Perhaps.
Just curious: what is the level of CIVICS classes --- presentation of USA foundational values --- at these institutes?
PS: from what I could see, from these videos alone, these Charter Schools are leaps and bounds above the miserable levels of the public govt schools [aka: govt indoctrination centers].
Jeff Litt reminds me very much of Ricky Jay. Does he do magic too?
Pretty good if done well. I think both things should coexist
Mr litt that's my school
It’s Litt 🔥 😎
im his grandson and ive heard this way too much
It only takes one person t make a difference,
Keep posting more vids on schools and education please I find them more uplifting than those from pro union sources
Amyone can exceed in any state standardized test
Capitalism is rooted in competition. Let the free market loose on K12 teaching. I guarantee the education our young ones get will be better than ever before.
You people don't seem to realize that the main reason the government hasn't been allowed to privatize education is that the private schools would naturally become segregated.
My son goes to a very diverse charter. When he was in public school kids would self-segregate at lunch. At his charter, no group self-segregates. Consider that you assumptions may be wrong.
How exactly does this eliminate poverty...?
Cause the kids wont end up entirely ignorant. So they will be good employees. So they will get higher wages. So they will not be impoverished.
So it’s all about the test scores, as shown by the fact that the children who replace Icahan’s graduates often have a lot of catching up to do, and so bring down the overall test scores of the school, thereby making Icahan #2 charter school, instead of #1 charter school.
if i was president, ill present a bill saying the DOE should be abolished, and 4 other bills dicating how we usee our infrastructure, military, while elimating social programs, and disallowing states to profit from the federal government by setting funding caps.
I saw kalyee.
The Finnish school system is like a charter school nationwide. Private schools tried to compete but failed.
This is not important in the least bit but the teacher at 3:38 missed a belt loop. But other than that, this is amazing.
i got to icahn 4 too and 80 % are not poor
they mainly showed Icahn 3. Icahn 4 kids are not poor I do not know about Icahn 3
chelsea oppong i go to 3 and we are not poor either idk why they featured us more
I’d like to know how much chatter school teachers make? It’s a hard job and they should be compensated as such. I’m not talking about crazy union rates.
4:44 kid with tattoo?
My biggest worry is how do private/charter schools deal with drug offenders.
I was caught with marijuana at my public school and I got instant expulsion from any school within my county and I was sent to an alternative school for the "troubled youth"... Needless to say I got into more trouble in that alternative school, and the school system that I was apart of shunned me out and called the authorities on me.
What about children with IEP’s, do they get to go to charter schools?
Yes they do.....also special ed.
We need superior public schools.
Just don't have kids that you can't afford simple as that
Ok.
*society dies because no one is having kids*
@@orppranator5230 The rich can still have them. 2 adults both working full time with no kids will have a much better chance of getting by. Than a couple with children and either only one works or they spend everything on childcare.
The problem is NYC DOE is destroying education. Its frustrating and depressing.
HarlemSexyBlaqkat it begins and ends with the Democratic Party. They have a vested interest in keeping people poor and dependent upon them
What do you expect? It's a local monopoly.
Somebody get that guy a comedy show!

"Ya gonna get blistuhs!"
"Ya got too much on. It's too hot."
"No I'm not gonna turn up the aayyYYYYAAA conditionuh!"

The private sector is ALWAYS better than the government at the same task. Government education is the welfare of education. It's a shame we all pay for that terrible system
fund the children not the schools. public schools are like a cafeteria versus a restaurant. Overcrowding of public schools is insane.
Blistas!
i go to icahn 4

The expection of charter schools.
On average charter schools do worse than public schools ,especially when look at dollar value.
This school might not be that good. If they are accepting the creme of the crop of the students than of course they are going to be better the public, they took all the good kids. If they get random or even bad kids than it is the charter school that is doing the good. The problem and benefit of public school is that they take in all students, no matter if they are trouble makers of straight A's. Overall I support the idea of having a choice, but the kid should also have a say in the process also.
