Deep blue NY failing to educate public school children

Actually, yes. Only 26% of 8th graders are graders nationally are grade level proficient or above in math- meaning pre-algebra level

I have an elementary age child in nyc public schools. The problem is they refuse to different students because it’s not equity in their view. Someone will have hurt feelings if they are in the slower math group. As a result you have these classes with very disparate levels. The higher level kids are bored and if you are lucky they keep themselves busy with reading. The lower level kids get some help but not enough because the teacher has to deal with the rest of the class. The mid level kids get lost in the shuffle and many of them are probably just barely failing these state tests.

This is just my theory of course. They even tout this “ict” class which has two teachers but half special ed and have general ed. Even with two teachers someone is getting lost in the shuffle here.

Our approach is to supplement at home with ELA and doing Russian math class. We are moving before middle school.

Red states have voted red against their own interests because they are racist and dumb did the last 50 years

Their schools suck and you are worried about the place that elected Zohan and rejected Trump??

Red states have more participants on Snap does that sound bright to you?
Red states can not pay their ie. Way have high unemployment and their population can not tell a fact from a lie? Hell they don’t even understand the first Amendment!

Red states want a dictator does that sound bright?

My child's FCPS elementary just started the co-taught classes. Of course the mamas with the special ed kids LOVE it, and most everyone else with NT kids hates it.

Did they announce that this was happening? How do you know those moms love it?
I'm in a different area and I had no idea they were doing this until around the last day of school when a Para who was quitting told me about it and told me to get my kid out.

No, there was no announcement from the school. My child is in the same grade but has 1 teacher with a bunch of easy kids. I had wondered why they had clustered more difficult kids in this class when the rosters came out, but I didn't find out about it a few weeks into the school year at the bus stop. Certain moms were gushing about how wonderful and inclusive it is for their kids with IEPs.

It is great that Mississippi is improving in education. The unhinged posters who are upset by this need to go back to the political forum.
