The dirty little secret is that parents are their children’s first and primary teachers.

Keep voting democrat NYC and stay on the plantation!

And don’t cry when the public union goons fail to educate your children, oppose school choice, oppose charter schools and walk away with insane spiked pensions...

It was all for the children!

She thinks that teachers' unions...particularly in major cities...want to *educate* kids? Reading...writing...arithmetic?

How silly.

Self esteem...that's what's important.Give a kid,even at 15,a gold star for effort when he/he says that 2+2=5.

Eventually minorities will come to realize why urban liberals get to “choose” good private schools for their kids and why minority kids are herded into dysfunctional unionized public schools. The only “choice” minorities get is the option to kill their fetuses. They may also ask liberals why they situate almost all their abortion mills in minority neighborhoods.

Only an imbecile would expect their kid to get an education at a NYC Public Skool.

The obvious solution is to make the colleges lower their admission standards (even further).

US Education system is no longer educating our children, these schools have become nothing more than another Union pension fund scam and grab bag for liberal elitist and the reeducation of American youth into socialism!

If anyone in America thinks differently, then I have a large bridge in Northern Michigan I will gladly sell you by the foot!

This is what happens when Americans let the government control every aspect of our lives, from cradle to the grave!

Now a Mother is demanding a school educate her child! What a laugh! The quicker she comes to the realization that the school is not an education center, but, a Union pensions racket and scheme, the better off she will be!

This Mother needs to get her children out of all public schools before it is too late!

...let Finerson-Adu’s students retake the class...

I read the article. It didn't say for sure... but I'm thinking that the above statement means that the students can essentially spend an additional year at the school, to retake the course.

Can you imagine: "Here's you HS Diploma. Congratulations. Unfortunately, you weren't actually taught anything. So, we're going to let you come back next year and be a senior all over again. And this time - we'll try to assign a teacher who will actually teach you something. Maybe."?????

Somebody needs to be in jail.

That’s not the public schools job. Their job is to collect union dues for their Dem masters.

““She does other things, like sell jewelry in the class, but no instruction has taken place,””

At least she’s practicing free enterprise in front of the students.

One of my son’s high school teacher used to let the class watch MTV.

17% Hmmm??

Does that mean that 83% Do Not possess the necessary skills to earn a High School Diploma purely on Academics??

If So, then isn’t it also FRAUD to Falsify Official Government Records for Profit or Gain?? Last Time I looked your Public School Records are “Official” government documents.

Shouldn’t we be PROSECUTING these fraudsters??

I worked, years ago with teen aged kids and for no good reason, made up a list of 100 trivia type questions for them to research and work on. One of the questions was how long does it take sunlight to reach the Earth. Another was, if you see the star, closest to the Earth, other than the sun, explode, how long ago did the explosion take place.

One of the kids could pretty well figure it out, but the surprising thing was the response from several teachers....

The sunlight is just there, you see the sun, there is the light.....and if you saw the star explode last night, it exploded last night.....

The fact that the nearest star is about 4 light years away was beyond them, and that light travels at 186,000 mps AND THE SUN IS 93,000,000 MILES AWAY WAS INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO THEM...Whoops, hit the caps button.

I was more than amazed!!!!!
