Yet the sheeple on Long Island still HMO (Hand the money over) in the form of the highest property taxes in the nation, to support these corrupt a--holes in the belief that they get "good schools for the kids." As an alumnus of the Valley Stream public school system, I can tell you that 1. my supposedly strong school system was only slightly better than Jamaica or Hempstead, despite all the per pupil spending and 2. the same corrupt BS, with teachers and administrators dipping their hands into the cookie jar was going on back in the 1980s.

BTW: Places like Roslyn and Great Neck only have high test scores and graduation rates due to the fact that the parents in those communities push their kids to succeed. It has little to do with the teachers or corrupt administrators.

After having three go through the Great Neck South district I'd have to disagree with you.
