I always wind up defending De Blasio when I'm around conservatives and bitterly denouncing him when I'm with liberals.

im mad at him for loving up my job and moving it under harsh new supervision but if i look passed that hes better than the last 2 decades of republican mayors i guess

I went to school at Stony Brook. I recall one of my physics professors telling an anecdote about how the bridges were purposefully built too low to have buses come out to the eastern parts of the island, to keep "certain people" in the city. My lasting impression of Long Island was that it was a highway with a strip mall on either side.

yeah robert moses made busses incapable of traveling on the parkway system cause blacks

dumb teacher rant, apologies in advance:


in nys, teachers hired after a certain date need professional development hours to keep their license.

recently the state changed the req's for professional development. the previous system was coming to the point where it might actually impact people and they replaced it and wiped the slate clean. this meant that years of attending pd meetings and all the associated record keeping on the part of teachers was tossed out the window.

they replace it with a system where the meetings and workshops i go to provided by my public school dont count as pd. only meetings hosted by an accredited organization with a special code from the state count as pd and many of these cost money and time outside the workday

nobody i know at work is doing much to complete their reqs. we all expect this system to again be changed when the 5 year hours deadline is getting close. its just a really annoying and whoever came up with it should go to prison

blasio is talking big game about ending the specialized highschool admissions test (its deffo big time biased against black and latino kids that lack the means to prep for it) but in the most politically assbackwards way possible. his plan is to essentially shut out private school kids from competing for all but like 5% of the seats, which has jewish groups freaking out. the other 95% of seats will go to only top students in city middleschools, shutting out kids that move to the city recently, and potentially risking all out rebellion of asian parents whose kids stand to lose the most number of seats under any arraignment, but particularly this one that could see their numbers cut by more than half since they are so over represented now. alumni groups are all freaking out too and trying to rally support.

now blasio cant put this plan into action without the state senate going along with it. the biased tests are mandated by a state law. he can and will however use his power (as he should have done years ago) to as much as double the dismally small black and latino enrollment through a number of adjustments he can make, but instead of doing that first to start fixing the problem hes decided to stoke a parental race war over top high school seats while he waits for the republican senate majority to fall out of power.

the status quo needs to change but this feels like a particularly divisive way to go about it and pretty drat late in his term too but im no politician.

stuy takes only the score of the afforementioned specialized high school admission test into consideration along with Btech, bxscience, t&h, and a couple other schools and they dont have below 9th grade.

in both cases tho the kids who get in are the ones that have paid for the best coaching
