Ten more Face ax


Today's article was about how ten more schools were added to the list of
schools being closed down. And to make things worst, these ten
schools are middle schools, boasting the list of middle schools to be
closed to twenty five. These schools are being closed only because
the kids weren’t producing on the state test.
Personally I think that this makes NYC schools look horrible. A middle school
which have classes that are never overly complicated can't produce
good state test grades. As a result of this many schools are being
closed down. I also believe that the reason these schools are closing
down are because of the budget-cut. I think many schools are being
targeted to close down so teachers, and other faculty members can be
laid off.
I know that the parents of the students that attend these schools are
frustrated because now they are going to have to find their child a
new school, and most likely that new schools isn't going to be a
local school. So this means now more middle school students are going
to be taking public transportation. And the metro cards use by
students are paid for by the city, so money is still being taken from
the city. And if the children can't take public transportation then
parents are going to have to have to go out their daily schedules to
get their child to school and to pick them up from school.
As much as I know its devastating to hear that a school is closing, I think
it can easily be avoided, all the principle of the school has to do
is make the students buckle up. The principle should take control of
the schools education and make the teachers at least step up their
teaching techniques or get new teachers.
