      Telling Photograph! Right from the start our kids must get the message that going to school and getting an education is, and must be a fun game, less they go home and tell their parents and guardians, that they don’t like their teachers, and the complaints start mounting on the internet, all the way to Bloomberg! Teachers deservedly so, across the board, make more money today, but are treated with less professionalism and respect, as they once were. You would never have seen a photograph like this twenty five, thirty five, forty five, and beyond fifty five years ago, when being educated actually meant something, and all parties in the education process, had generally high regards for one another .When we still had a sense of community!

      These kids are off from school more than they are in. No wonder so many of them are so friggen stupid. These kids are our future, they need to be in school, not constantly off for spring/winter/summer recess + early dismissals and conference days.

        Most kids aren’t stupid.

        Please, as if children learned ANYTHING in NYC public schools. Under this corrupt banner you think they’re learning something? You’re kidding me.
