“#Killing the elite-schools exam is just shooting the messenger” New chancellor, same old response to the vexingly few black and Hispanic students scoring seats at the city’s top public high schools: Like her predecessor, Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter blames the test itself. In the latest round of acceptances, Asians won 53.7 percent of all seats;…
“#NYC DOE baffles parents, bungles middle school admission offers” The Department of Education launched city parents into yet another tailspin Thursday after mistakenly posting some middle school admission offers online, before abruptly removing them. Recipients said they were surprised to see the information appear in their parent portals — and were doubly taken aback when…
“#Mayoral candidates a very mixed bag on fixing NYC’s public schools” Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley leads the pack when it comes to hypocrisy on education. As co-chair of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s advisory panel on school diversity, Wiley pushed for ending the city’s Gifted and Talented programs, the specialized high schools entrance exam and all…
“#English exam fail is no laughing matter” Many of the questions on the recent New York state English exam for grades 3-8 duplicated ones from old tests on a practice Web site, rendering the exams worthless.

“#More union treachery from the United Federation of Teachers” Another day, another Gotham schooling disaster. Parents were overjoyed last week when the city Department of Education finally announced changes aimed at restoring full-time, in-person schooling in New York. This, even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance reducing social-distancing requirements had come a…
“#Special needs students face hazards in city school buildings, audit shows” The city’s 26,000 special needs students are enrolled in schools buildings with hazardous and unsafe conditions — including peeling paint, disabled door alarms, cracked playground and a shortage of EpiPens, a scathing audit by state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli found.

“#More NYC parents sue DOE for return to in-person classes” More Big Apple parents have sued for a return to full-time, in-person classes in city schools — arguing that the future of an entire generation of kids will be put at risk as they fall behind in their education, new court papers show. The lawsuit…
“#Working for company that won big contracts when he ran NYC schools” As chancellor of the city’s public schools, Richard Carranza talked endlessly about equity.
