When Queens Collegiate moved into the third floor, the floor got painted, new projectors and smart boards were installed, phones were put in and banners were posted over their doorways. JHS has a torn carpet in the library for over eleven years. No one could find the money to repair it. Our hallways have never been painted. Our students do not have the latest technology because many of our computers are broken and we do not have the money to repair them. Teachers were excessed and students are being programmed into classes with no teachers. This is accountablity. The DOE should invest the money in the old schools and help improve the education of students who have no other choice. Their parents aren't savvy enough to look for a specialized high school or their skills are not strong enough to do well on a test.College Officehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744046769317393294noreply@blogger.com
