[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Cardozo had an aerospace naft academy.  Is that still an option or is that being dismantled for the XQ stuff?[/quote]

Another Cardozo Teacher:

I don’t know much about the aerospace academy, but the PP is right. It’s mostly ineffective.

Like most things at Cardozo, and I would guess across the city, they could be great, but there are probably 5 overpaid and under qualified people for every 20 overworked teachers.

That’s not to say that all teachers are angels. There is a garden variety of people who are in it for the wrong reasons, but none of them have the power to take on a program like XQ and use the children as a means to further their own professional endeavors. (Mola; Blake; Ferebee; Bowser; Pinder; et. al)

I have been at Cardozo for over a decade and love it there but that’s because the kids are great even if society wants to portray them as the “other”. Meanwhile politicians like our principal will market that as a way to make it seem like everyone else is the problem and not them, but then he doesn’t guide them with a disciplined hand and gives into them whenever they want. This allows him to apply for programs like XQ to say that our students “need” the help b/c they’re black, brown, etc. He’s no different than the race baiting trolls on cable news.[/quote]
