This is a clear sign of the improper relationship she is calling upon to get her needs met. At the very least, these interchanges should be at a much more professional level. How is it that Klein has so much "free time" to attend all of these events/fundraisers for Moskowitz, but rarely visits his own schools on a regular basis (aside from the rare PR stunt)?J Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-51354764003029939282010-02-26T21:59:07.618-05:002010-02-26T21:59:07.618-05:00I wonder how many kids were "counseled out&qu...I wonder how many kids were "counseled out" of Eva's school. Who are you kidding??? We educators know the secret to a school's success. And that is cherry-picking your students for your school. People running public school should be so lucky. In the meantime, kids who could really benefit from small class sizes are thrown to the wind. <br />Too bad if their parents don't give a crap. <br />Too bad if their parents don't know to apply.<br />Too bad if your child has learning disablities. <br />Too bad if your child has just arrived from South America. <br />TOO BAD!<br />A better education has indeed been offered to a select few. What about the rest?<br />Charters should be allowed to exist...in their own space using their own funds. No public school child should have to sacrifice ANYTHING to accomodate a charter school.

Last year, Eva's oldest school--the one she fought like heck for in her early emails posted here--had 100% of its 3rd Graders passing the State Math Exam and 95% of them passing the State ELA Exam. Yes, how "disgusting and appalling."<br /><br />What have we come to in this City?? What person with the best interest of kids and educational opportunity at heart would categorize Eva's fight to give that incredible educational opportunity to more students in Harlem as "disgusting and appalling?"<br /><br />You implicitly praise Leonie Haimson for fighting like heck for the rights of the middle income students clearly profiled on her website--but when someone as connected as Eva fights like heck for the rights of lower income students in Harlem, you call it "disgusting and appalling."<br /><br />That's actually disgusting and appalling, Julie W.<br /><br />But what's even more disgusting and appalling is Leonie Haimson saying that Eva's fight for educational opportunity deserves neither Chancellor Klein's support nor Eli Broad's seed money nor her families' "small army" advocating, clawing desperately for change for even more students in Harlem. <br /><br />When you compare the results of HSA with those of the schools Eva's fighting like heck to expand in (the very schools you support by challenging Eva), it is my firm hope and most adamant belief that you guys will be found to be on the wrong side of both social justice and history.Magna Charternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-82602013860371340892010-02-25T18:54:30.625-05:002010-02-25T18:54:30.625-05:00I read some of the emails (thanks for posting them...I read some of the emails (thanks for posting them).<br /><br />Much of it sounds like a teenager telling Daddy how good she did at school today. <br /><br />Am disgusted and appalled.Julie Wnoreply@blogger.com
