EVA MOSKOWITZ ON ‘BLACK LIVES’ AND FAILING SCHOOLS—Capital’s Eliza Shapiro: “In a letter to reporters on Monday, Success Academy C.E.O. Eva Moskowitz compared what she called New York's failing schools ‘crisis’ to protests over the killings of unarmed black men last year. ‘Only two months ago our city was divided by protests over the loss of black lives,’ Moskowitz said in the letter, referring to nationwide protests over the killings of unarmed black men Eric Garner and Michael Brown. ‘I would argue we are losing more black lives by ignoring an epic educational crisis,’ she added… Moskowitz asked reporters to cover Success’ upcoming rally, which she called ‘the largest parent rally ever seen in Albany.’ [PRO] http://bit.ly/1GJDCPt
You see, making sure children of color have schools to attend where they are forcibly marched in silence, suspended for rolling their eyes or not making eye contact with their young white teacher when he/she snaps his/her fingers, treated to nine hours+ a day of mind-numbing test prep and treated like prisoners-in-training is a civil rights issue.
If the general public hasn't figured out what a crock of shit this woman spews then indeed we are in trouble as a society, country and humanity will cease to exist as the corrupt, propaganda spewing low life's continue to prey on the weak. All this woman cares about is padding her already $500,000 yearly salary. The Chancellor for all the NYC schools earns only $200,000 per year....What is wrong with humanity have we lost our sense of purpose, people, sense of decency only for people like moskowitch to undermine the working professionals in the NYCDOE. How dare this girdle wearing, bare legs bull dog undermine our profession....I am so sick of hearing this creep throwing stones at our profession / schools. The sucess charter schools are filled with no nothing 1st and 2nd year teachers, no or few counselors and social workers, and they claim they are giving the kids a great education with 22 year old teachers...any questions?..
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. I worked in a moskowitz school and the school is a complete disaster. Teachers hate their jobs as they have to deal with administrators who are no nothings with very few years experience working in the classrooms. Yet, the jerks try to tell you how to teach!!! Most of the teaching staff at sucess academy are 1 or 2 year old teachers who walk around like deer in the headlight!! There is no way these schools could exist in the surburbs as parents would be irate knowing their kids have teachers with no experience or very little. Yet the PR machine continues to try and undermine public schools and this is a sham beyond belief as the weak believe the cool aid that moskowitch puts out
DeleteIf you look at the Success poster I put up on ed notes with a white kid and a meeting in some penthouse on the upper east side it is clear Eva has no interest in black kids.
ReplyDeleteWell, based on the Pavlovian/ Skinner Box pedagogy used at Moskowitz's schools, we know she cares nothing for the humanity or individuality of Black children, but we also know that she finds them to be very useful as political props, so we can expect more and more of this disgusting hypocrisy.
