Reply to comment by _the_credible_hulk_ in NYC: Success Academy Buys New Properties While Planning to Charge Rent to NYC Public Schools by barweis

So now do you think NYC public schools are giving Children of Color a proper education?

I think NYC schools vary widely in quality, just as charters do. The more charters that exist in the system, the more resources, student talent, and tenacious parents flow out of the public system.

So you want to force students of color to stay in schools that fail them?

Straw man.

That's not what a straw man is. You just aren't willing to accept the decisions Parents of Color make for what they believe is the best interest of their children's education.

Black and Hispanic parents want classes where their children are place with students with the same academic level. Black and Hispanic parents want disruptive and dangerous students kicked out of their children's class. Black and Hispanic parents want the school to be able to fire underperforming teachers.

You want them to sacrifice their children to your ideal of a public school regardless if those ideals help Black and Hispanic Children.

No, that’s exactly what a straw man is. You’re arguing against a false opponent that you e created, not my actual argument.

You’re all over this thread arguing for charters charging the public rent on buildings bought with public funds intended to educate children. This is so obviously a money grab by organizations less and less accountable to those parents you claim to represent. Stop it.

I’m done here.

And those funds were used to educate children. The Board of Ed is riddled with grifters at all levels, a company with basic financial controls and discipline can make a substantive profit educating children. Once again.

The Catholic High Schools educate their kids at 1/3rd and the grade schools at 1/4th of what we spend on public school students.
