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

Why should they have to accept shitty kids? The entire point of those schools is to escape low income rugrats.

It’s not though. Yours is the problem. Learned helplessness.

I am not running away. I pay my taxes. That is the exact maximum I need to do.

The minority group with the highest poverty rate in the city also has the highest educational attainment and educational performance. You believe poverty is the root of the problem and its just not. You have a mountain of contradictory evidence in front of you that everyone else can see and you wonder why people ignore you.

I'm not talking about rich people or private schools. Would you like to respond to the point that Asians in New York have the highest poverty rate and also the highest educational attainment?

Proud of you. Now are you going to join us back in the discussion circle, or will you continue wanking in the corner?

Would argue most kids served by charters belong to poor families in this city. Map the schools, most are in disadvantage communities and for them its either the continuously failing local unscreened public or take their chance with local charter.

Doesn’t matter either way. Parents should have options of where to send their kids.

Better than the party line which is “we should deliberately fuck over my kid so I can prop up someone else”
