The entire school system in NY is out of control. There are NO good schools there.
They have to go Europe to find people willing to teach in NYC.
Only when you live here do you get to know that it's a cesspool.
I don't blame the parents at all.
They need to get their kids out of there and to safety. NOW. Other than that, I guess they're disillusioned and unwilling to admit they made a misjudgement.
Kind of like all the folks who voted Clinton and won't admit they were wrong.
Would you move your kids somewhere without researching the school system? You would move there sight unseen?
OldFriend, are you telling me there is no way to research a school district? These people are social workers, and I presume they have a degree of some kind, so they had some education.
If the NY system is out of control, and I don't doubt for a minute that it is, why move your family there from Oklahoma?
If the money is good in Saudi Arabia, but your kid has to go to a school where there are bound to be kids of the same age who are going to have issues with an American kid, do you go because the money is good, or do you find a job where the money isn't quite so good but the environment is better for the family?
My family was a military family, and we went where we were sent. Most places were okay. Some were better than others. But that is life. These people had a choice, and they chose not on the basis of what was best for their children, but on the basis of what was best for themselves and justified it with their stupid liberal mentality. That is what makes me angry.
