Reply to comment by Neoliberalism2024 in Parents fume over Governor Hochul’s charter school expansion proposal | amNewYork by barweis

You're basically arguing we should keep all disruptive and violent students in public school then. Of course that creates a race to the bottom for public schools. It's an untenable situation for them. Now public schools have less funds and an even higher concentration of undesired students. The results will never get better.

I'm speaking as someone who was a product of the city public school system. I, and many others, came out just fine and were able to take advantage of what few resources were available in my public school.

If the issue are disruptive students then those students should be dealt with a taken out of the regular student population to be placed in specialized classes. That can all exist within the same public school system.

Either completely eliminate public schools and force charters to accept all students they are zoned in or don't have charters at all. This two school system is bullshit and a waste of tax payer money.

You're contradicting what you and everyone else really want, which is taking the disruptive students out of class by disparaging charter schools for doing exactly that. Public schools are actively dismantling traditional punitive measures, in favor of restorative justice techniques. Those technique are exascerbating disruptive behavior in the classroom. Parents merely want an environment where kids can learn, which is mpre common in a charter school. Is that too much to ask for?

When did you graduate and from where? The last 10 years have been bunkers. No responsible parent want their child in a title 1 school… it’s tantamount to child abuse at this point

The people causing the problems in public schools are disruptive students that have no consequences, comrade. It's not some unsolvable mystery. The union teachers will all day the same thing.
