Even the so called very good public schools are not as good as they could/should be. I don't think it's the fault of the teachers - the problem really stems back to the education schools which teach crack pot educational theories and often, principals who don't have a rigorous and coherent vision of what a good education means. But why are we pretending that public schools in NYC are so great? Charters are not the solution to the problem - but when you have kids of your own, you don't have time for the system to change. You need a good education for your kids immediately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-8361441875412673292011-06-22T00:48:40.863-04:002011-06-22T00:48:40.863-04:00I really do not understand much about all this arg...I really do not understand much about all this arguments. However, as a parent seeking for a good school for my children, I did apply for HSA and many other charter schools. I also visited public schools and even dared to look at the high prices of private schools. I did my part, adding some informal interviews with parents of children who were already attending some of the schools mentioned. Based on the result of the research i performed, HSA is a great schools A++. All parents of children attending the school expressed so much happiness and gratitude for having the chance to have their children enroll in HSA. Comments from other parents at other school were very poor. Unfortunately, if only public school were as good as now these people attempt to make us believe, we would not have any charter school around. However, families with low income do have limited options and it is very unfortunate that that topic of this discussion is about space and money, when we should be worrying about the areas where schools are lacking and seeking for ways to fix the issues and help their students to strive at their best.The wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885508451535124608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-46513498207755887402011-04-25T22:48:33.448-04:002011-04-25T22:48:33.448-04:00@ Anonymous: I have my ways.@ Anonymous: I have my ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-6293837547886873282011-04-25T19:37:22.604-04:002011-04-25T19:37:22.604-04:00It doesn't matter what the cec from district 1...It doesn't matter what the cec from district 14 says or the pricipal from the school wear hsa will be put in. The way the DOE works is that if your school is under ultilized and there's room for another school to be put in it, that school will be placed there. The DOE charges charter schools only a $1 to rent the space. Every Five years each charter school is revieved.<br /><br />You also got to look at the traditional public schools that has teahers who don't care about the students education; all they care about is money and HSA cares about the education they teach to it's students. Thier students pull 3 and 4 on thier state exams. That's why alot of the traditional public school are being closed because they're F and D rated schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-24038062057432961032011-04-25T18:43:56.927-04:002011-04-25T18:43:56.927-04:00@Sweet Girl Tracie

When offered "rigorous" arts curriculums based on the NY Blueprint, we were not even given a meeting with school leadership. There is a one word focus at any HSA school: testing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-55616334122254610872011-04-25T11:36:05.462-04:002011-04-25T11:36:05.462-04:00The Walmartization of education.The Walmartization of education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-61523541548221309032011-04-25T11:18:31.183-04:002011-04-25T11:18:31.183-04:00The HSA Promotional Video is all not that great ei...The HSA Promotional Video is all not that great either, just a bunch of jargon that sounds all great, but I am sure is pushing the students too much.<br />Here are some relevant points from the promo video:<br />1. Success is because children read 2 hours a day, 26 books a month, and their program is 'rigorous'.<br />2. HSA are also deeply involved in the arts.<br />3. Every 7 students apply for 1 seat at HSA. The goal is eventually making it to 40.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-69581359891252558402011-04-25T10:58:50.579-04:002011-04-25T10:58:50.579-04:00Magnificent!

We are saturated with charter schools stealing the best of our public school students. This must be made loud and clear AGAIN on April 28th as Brooklyn Success AND Beginning With Children come knocking at the door for more schools, space and students!Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093696947161342140noreply@blogger.com
