Some of the terrible things allegedly happening there include:


The school nurse doesn’t have a properly equipped office.

An unorganized library described as a “junk room.”

There are no substitute teachers; kids from an absent teacher’s class are put into other classes for the day.

Classes are being held in dilapidated, “rat-infested” trailers.

Students have not been given math, reading, or writing books.

Then there’s another big problem: Marcella Sills, a principal who is being paid six figures, allegedly, rarely shows up for work on time if at all. Inanother report on the matter published this morning, the Post informed its readers about a curious party for fifth-graders that Principal Sills has organized for the past three years. At a cost of $110 per student, children must wear bridal or groom attire. The Post writes, “The kids, many of whom live below the poverty line, must foot the bill for the strange get-ups, which Sills personally picks out at stores such as Men’s Wearhouse and David’s Bridal, parents and ex-teachers said.”

What's her cut?



She cuts quite a figure, when she does appear. She arrives in a BMW wearing expensive fur coats. She makes a base $128,000 salary.

See? Why work at Walmart.

Far Rockaway is just sad, it really it. 25% of people are below the poverty line, there aren't many primary care physicians around, it was hard hit by Sandy, AND there are high incidences of drug/gang violence and chronic disease. It's a toss-away.

And yet the article says they're a block away from the beach. Sounds like it's begging for gentrification.

But but but the Skools nead moar Monies and it will solv all theyir problamz! Unless, of course, all the money that does go to schools ends up being blown on the high cost of Administration leaving none for the kids.

Get Ahead programs replaced by No Child Left Behind, someone is losing ground here. Maybe because of the Fur Coat? Or Mercedes?

D.A.R.E. increases the likelyhood that a child will try drugs.

Sex Ed has increased Teen Pregnancy

Im not even sure this worth coming up with a LIST of things wrong with our Indoctrination System. Apples have a stereotype of sitting on the Teachers Desks, and the ones in our School System are rotten to the core.
