NYC: Bloomberg's school deform defunds 4th-year HS math (calculus)

[Hannah Bell]

For those too mature to watch South Park (obviously I am not one of them), I will tell you that Kenny, one of the little boys, comes from a very poor family. He always wears a parka pulled so tightly that it covers his face and muffles his voice. In the first five seasons, Kenny would die in almost every episode and then reappear the following week. Doing something so despicable to a poor boy didn't really matter. No one, except for his friends and his family would miss him.

Bloomberg, in his infinite school budget wisdom, has killed the fourth year of high school math. Kids who want to take calculus, pre-calculus or discrete math as seniors are being deprived of the opportunity. Only a select group, the elite of the elite, will have classes funded and will be able to carry on.

In this day and age, where we are supposed to be moving everyone ahead, for every baby step we take forward, we are taking giant steps backward. Even expressions like "please" or "may I" are useless. There is no money for the education of New York City children. They are like Kenny, the poor, the ones that do not count for anything.


So, my message to Bloomberg and Klein:


YOU KILLED NEW YORK CITY EDUCATION, YOU BASTARDS!

1. The real problem is the education of many people in many places

And there lack of education leads to not the best forms of education for many groups and families.

That is where the education problem is, and is creating other education problems.
