[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are living this hell in our public school now. The school won’t even teach certain parts of the NYC DOE curriculum because it is not anti racist enough.  Everything is thru the lens of race.  Academics do not matter, the bar is so low. If you are for advanced learning that is shamed.  Just voted in my CEC election and struggled to find a candidate who even mentioned academics.  The whole thing is sad and has us questioning our choice to live here. [/quote]

Are in in a downtown nyc public elementary school? Considering one for my child...[/quote]

I'm guessing they are in the super woke district in Brooklyn that decided to basically do a race to the bottom for the sake of "equity" and white guilt (I think it is 15)? UES and UWS publics are more progressive than I would like (I'm a moderate Democrat) but the kids still are learning the fundamentals and getting a good education. It can vary by teacher but I think the poster is being pretty melo-dramatic, though perhaps they are somewhere else. I know less about downtown schools but have heard good things about a number of them (I don't live there so can't keep track of which is which - I only have so much bandwidth and they don't really impact me).[/quote]

I’m the OP who mentioned our school being dumbed down.  Bingo on the guess of a woke Brooklyn district.  Yes I was being a bit dramatic I admit.  It does vary by district so downtown may be ok.  You can always supplement too see the recent nypost article about math. We are doing this.  [/quote]
