We ha...Please note that BECA is a public school. <br /><br />We have recently met with DOE Space Planning officials and have been advised that 99% of all requested renovations and resources will NOT be available for Sept. The school will not be able to fully function in this facility when the school doors open in a few weeks.<br /><br />BECA is a prime example of the major shortcomings of an administration that does not value the parents and students of the NYC public school educational system. <br /><br />We have been told by DOE officials that the only way we can expect them to listen is with Media attention. So while our most recent plea is to President Obama - ALL MEDIA and SUPPORTERS please listen to our pleas and help us be HEARD. Help Save Our School by bringing the attention that this matter deserves. <br /><br />BECA has a VOICE - NYC Public School community & supporters have a VOICE and WE CANNOT BE SILENCED!<br /><br />Thanks to all that join in on this effort and continue to support us and increase the awareness of this situation throughout this journey.<br /><br />With gratitude,<br />Annabelle WrightAWrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-84509182614804215972009-08-06T08:42:39.792-04:002009-08-06T08:42:39.792-04:00The first thing I read in the morning is your blog...The first thing I read in the morning is your blog site. The Beca school has had 3 principals already? They have no gym, media room, etc. THis is not reform . This is destruction. Bloomberg, Klein and Nadelstern should be asked to resign from their jobs. They don't think and plan intelligently. They just have knee jerk reactions to reform. My job history included working at small, alternative high schools. One was a total fiasco because of incompetetnt leadership, lack of resources and a staff that was mostly treated very disrespectfully. I left that school as soon as I could. I tried another small high school. This second one had competent leadership, had lots of resources and teachers had a voice in school policy. I stayed there for 10 years. This experience in small schools informs my opinion. There will be a wasteland of small, poorly run, resource deprived and barely functional small high schools left at the end of Bloomberg's reign and the irony is that the "insiders" will praise themselves for being effective and visionary reformers. Their legacy will really be a wasteland of small, ineffective high schools because too many were started and they were left to fend for themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-75128254117170372572009-08-05T20:38:44.721-04:002009-08-05T20:38:44.721-04:00Killer stuff for the last three days.
