- Our district allows this. They claim it costs nothing since sections can’t split due to teachers children.
- Which district?
- Scarsdale
- Not PP, but Edgemont allows it, and some find it a problem. A few kids have been great, but many can't or won't be disciplined, and it really does feel like the school runs for...(more)
- Are you guys both in support of this in light of budget issues coming up, or is that not an issue where you are?
- It doesn’t bother me. It does bother some people.
- I think it should be factored into the compensation and deducted accordingly. It's really not fair to tax everyone else for the space the schools do not have.

- NYC Schools Silly question - if it’s so obvious to everyone that NY schools are closed for the rest of the year, why hasn’t there been an announcement yet?
- It's tomorrow. Also I don't think it's obvious. I think he will extend the mandate to May 31
- Yep, and then 6/15. So stupid, just say it.
- It's not stupid. I think it's smart
- To keep extending 2 weeks at a time?

- NYC Schools Carranza -- like DeBlasio -- takes a long time to say what he needs to say.
- NYC Schools NYC public kindergarten matches are up online. I'm hearing there are more waitlists in brownstone Brooklyn.
- what does that mean
- Not COVID-related bc people applied pre-COVID, but more kids applying than spots in brownstone Brooklyn schools, and more kids applying than in the most recent years.
- It's prob areas like Gowanus, where they built a lot of housing but it was not previously residential so not enough schools
- everyone wants public now. that's one good thing to come of this
- ^They could be short and all clear, don't know any details, just anecdotally hearing of kids on WLs
- It happened last year, too
- But there have been fewer, and shorter lists for the past handful of years -- after ramping up in the handful of years before that
- I thought last year was really bad. My friends were in the gowanus area and had a hard time
- Doesn't look like it: https://chalkbeat.org/posts/ny/2019/03/28/kindergarten-offer-placement-letters-new-york-city-2019/ Shortest lists and # of lists in many years
- Citywide. Trust me, it was bad in some parts of brooklyn.

- NYC Schools HSAS or Bard Queens? Impressions....
- What’s HSAS?
- You might know it by Lehman
- High school of american studies
- Similar in approach, as in rigor, strong humanities, but Bard Q is larger and far more diverse
- And I do know Lehman is exceptionally diverse, so I’d have to see numbers to compare
- Not for a nyc public school it's not!
- 57% white and only 24% free / reduced lunch.
- Hmmm, it must be a good school
- I think it attracts families who think that way

- 57% white and only 24% free / reduced lunch.
- Not for a nyc public school it's not!
- And I do know Lehman is exceptionally diverse, so I’d have to see numbers to compare
- my son is trying to choose between the two....
- This is only anecdotal, but the criticisms I've heard of Bard is that it's a slog (the rush through hs curriculum) and of HSAS that the math is not strong
- ^and of course I've heard many positive things of both too
- a slog meaning too much work?
- Yes - heard that from a number of people ... but again anecdotal. Plus, I imagine it depends on the kid / fit
- This is only anecdotal, but the criticisms I've heard of Bard is that it's a slog (the rush through hs curriculum) and of HSAS that the math is not strong
