It’s been just one month since the city’s first classroom killing in 25 years — but the Department of Education is insisting that schools are getting safer.

Despite teacher and student surveys signaling rampant violence, DOE Chancellor Carmen Fariña said that school climate was improving Monday and pointed to drops in suspensions and arrests.

Sure, there's less suspensions and arrests---because principals have been told by the NYC Dept. of "Education" not to give miscreant students suspensions, lest they raise the stats and make the school look bad. Read the first article I posted here, about the principal of the school where the student was knifed to death in the school having asked the NYC Dept. of "Education" to install a metal detector in his school and having been refused by that august body of fools. Had there been a metal detector, that kid might still be alive. But no, PC is more important than student safety. Wouldn't want anyone to think that school was dangerous, right? That is the NYC Dept. of "Education" all over---appearances over substance, turning out thousands of illiterates who can barely do sums on their fingers and who can't think their way out of a wet paper bag.

In my neck of the woods principals are given bonuses for reducing suspensions. And reducing suspensions is one thing looked at when promoting principals. So guess what? There are less suspensions.

Classroom fights and hallway fights, they are increasing. But suspensions are down. So it’s all good.

Yeeh, riiiiight.
As if anyone in their right minds believes anything coming out of that distinguished (or is it extinguished) group of “educators”.

That is exactly what I've been saying. It's all smoke and mirrors and no substance. School administrators are pressured apparently now coast-to-coast to underreport school violence so that the top administrators and politicians look good. And the dismal academic failures of the students occurring over and over, coming about as a result of teachers being forbidden to "scare", "make feel bad", "intimidate"---i.e. DISCIPLINE--students and teachers being forced, without any teacher input, to teach far-left curricula with ludicrous "teaching" methods forbidding them to stand up and actually teach in front of the class.

Aw, c’mon.

NYC public schools are training grounds for when the little tykes get sent to prison. You son’t want them to go there inexperienced, do you?

Math; science? That nonsense is White Privilege, man!
