They run the schools like a miltary boot-camp, constantly yelling and berating the kids. Having them walking down the hall on a colored tape, constant eye contact with the teacher, meaning the kids have to sit up straight in their seats all day, cannot turn around to look at another student, or say anything if another student sneezes, let along say hello to another teacher or student in the hallway. I can't even begin to type what has been happening in these two school being run by this managemet company. It's horrible!!! And the kids grades are horrible!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-31919113885411560782012-02-24T12:03:59.693-05:002012-02-24T12:03:59.693-05:00Go to http://teachersdontsuck.blogspot.com/ and re...Go to http://teachersdontsuck.blogspot.com/ and read about "Students First" and "NJ4Kids" I think they too are entering the education "market" through the back door and pick the system clean.

I want to know what Mr. Duffy will be earning when his charter begins in NYC. Eva Moskowitz earns more than any superintendent in NY State.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-37546198878339051162012-02-23T20:32:55.257-05:002012-02-23T20:32:55.257-05:00This is just one more outrage in an endless litany...This is just one more outrage in an endless litany of outrages!
