Me and the System

Hey welcome bloggers to my blog!! I am very happy to share my opionions with you. Please feel free to state yours!


I am writing this blog because I attend a public school in the South Bronx so I have first hand experienced of the corruption within the New York City Public School System.
The System that has abondand million and millions of students.

"big success gap"

I dislike that.
I have seen many of my friends and peers continuesly slip by and not get the help they need.
I have had discussions with many teachers whom never visted New York City and never thought schools would be like this.

The more educated we are on this topic the better we can make it. The more successful students we will have. A better future for everyone.

  1. Hey, i googled "achievement gap ny public schools" and some interesting articles came up.
    the achievement gap is exactly the type of thing you should cover in your blog. do some research to find out exactly what that means.

    some articles that i found that you might be interested in looking up are

    (http://nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2009/01/closing-achievement-gap-doe-discussion.html)Take a look at th' is site, what do you think of klein's plan
    "Klein offered his thoughts on how to close the achievement gap. He proposed longer school days and school year."

    other topics you can research are
    obama's education plan
    no child left behind
    income levels of different school districts
    teacher training
    you could interview students or take a survey

    let me know if you need help finding current articles or statistics.

    lastly, check out teach for america's website, they have lots of good information http://www.teachforamerica.org/mission/greatest_injustice.htm
