[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't lived here for 25 years straight, but I have lived here for several long stretches beginning 25 years ago - including with kids - and I don't see any sign of things getting worse. I'm sorry if your experience has been bad but it's not typical of anybody I know.

Frankly there are plenty of cops on the subways that sit by and don't do a damn thing about people with obvious mental health issues, so the idea of having other professionals handle that job (espoused not only by Mamdani but by several others, I believe) ought to resonate even with the 'public safety' crowd.

The G&T programs are a joke; the specialized high schools are not, but we need more of them. I don't think anybody wants to get rid of Regents Algebra.[/quote]

Not PP: We need standardization of G&T programs, advanced/honors courses in the middle school, and (gasp!) a return to the G&T test starting at 5. NYC has an extensive testing regime for toddlers and preschoolers in D75 schools. There is no reason why kids as young as 5 can't be tested, bc guess what - they already are being tested at that age! Just bc it's not what you want for your child that doesn't mean it's a joke.[/quote]
