New York City Schools Failing

[From article]
She sums it up this way: “NYC is lost. Totally.”
Every American should be keenly concerned about understanding and saving New York City, because your own city is probably using the same bad methods and heading toward the same level of failure.
[. . .]
We have leadership that knows nothing and leaves us with poorly designed garbage and no one to train.
[. . .]
Then we need leadership that pushes what works! We have neither! It’s exhausting to work with these people.
I know an aide who works closely with a principal. She tells me the following, ‘He wants the kids to fail because that's where the money is; he gets more money for Special Ed so he wants to keep his Special Ed classes full.... He doesn't want them to learn to read. The charters are taking all the kids so he wants to have Special Ed and ELL classes to fill the school. That's where the money is.’ Honest! This is what she says.
