[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think they should eliminate g&t - they should ensure it is demographically balanced. [/quote]

I live in NYC. I'm born and raised here and have lived here my entire life.

They're are only 5 schools with the programs. It's literally in only certain areas.

MANY, MANY parents don't even know the program exist. I didn't even know this program existed until 2 years ago! HA!

I live in NYC too.  You are thinking about schools like Anderson and NEST.  But there are also G&T programs in many local elementary schools operating like a separate track.[/quote]

Honestly, I had no idea this even existed. i just went to my local public school.

With that said, I truly believe there is something deeper going on than just wanting to integrate the schools. I think low income black and hispanic childre are being scapegoating and being used as a mask to privatize NYC public school system.

For example, this happened in new orleans that has become the first city with no more public schools. https://thelensnola.org/2019/07/01/new-orleans-becomes-first-major-american-city-without-traditional-schools/

There is a lot more that meets the eye and it's unfortunate the black families are being used as a mask. I think NYC is on its way to only having charter schools.

As the saying goes... follow the money.[/quote]
