I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#De Blasio is trying to kill gifted-and-talented education” After years of hemming and hawing, Mayor de Blasio is pulling the plug on Gifted and Talented testing of 4-year-olds — a program begun under Mayor Michael Bloomberg — as he’s departing City Hall. De Blasio says this will be the last year the Department of Education…
“#NYC DOE to scrap Gifted and Talented test after this year” The Department of Education ended the suspense around the city’s accelerated Gifted and Talented program Tuesday night, announcing that the single-test entry system will end after this year. Parents have been clamoring for answers on the coveted programs that admit kids based on standardized…
“#Why city public schools keep failing the pandemic challenge” Nine months into the pandemic, the city teachers’ union is still pushing for maximum school closures while administrators remain both distant and disastrously incompetent. After long waffling on the issue, Mayor de Blasio now says schools should remain open for the rest of the year. Yet…
“#include us in early vaccine distribution” Educators at more than 230 Catholic schools in the Big Apple want to make sure they’re in the mix when the coronavirus vaccine is doled out to teachers and staff in city public schools. In a letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza on Tuesday,…
“#NYC DOE school issues fake report cards for abuse probe” The city Department of Education turned John Tomasi into a phantom student — and not only gave him fake report cards, but wrongly put his family under investigation for child abuse. The 14-year-old never enrolled in Cobble Hill School of American Studies in Brooklyn. He…
“#Schools can do remote learning — my charter-school kids benefiting from it” Mayor Bill de Blasio’s decision to reopen in-person schooling for 190,000 students, and the head-spinning series of closings and openings that preceded it, risk eclipsing a striking fact: More than half of Gotham’s parents don’t want to send their kids to school and…
“#De Blasio, Carranza strike a deadly blow to NYC school standards” It’s beyond disgraceful that Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza are exploiting the pandemic to forward their war on standards in the public schools. On Friday, they announced they’re scrapping academic-based screening for middle schools this year, substituting an admissions lottery….
“#Bill de Blasio, Reliant getting away with rancid school bus deal” Will any elected city official push back against Mayor de Blasio’s latest nonprofit boondoggle, the purchase of a campaign donor’s failing school bus company? Monday evening, eight members of the city’s Panel for Education Priorities voted to OK a five-year, $890 million contract with…
“#De Blasio degrades school standards” It’s remarkable enough that a leader sitting in America’s financial capital would deliver such a faithful update of Karl Marx’s disastrous dictum, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” But to do so as a preamble to announcing the removal of selection criteria in middle-school…
“#NYC DOE is just wrong on demanding in-school COVID-19 tests” On Monday, public schools in the city reopened for K-5 students who signed up for blended learning after shutting down on Nov. 19 when the citywide COVID-19 positivity rate surpassed 3 percent. The reopening set the stage for principals to clash with parents who haven’t…
