The Brooklyn School of Inquiry has been granted a waiver to sidestep Chancellor David Banks' literacy initiative, becoming the first school to do so.
The decision raises concerns about equity as city officials have not defined clear criteria for exemptions, potentially favoring parents with resources to push for waivers.
Students and families from BSI expressed dissatisfaction with the new curriculum's focus on short excerpts over full books, claiming it drained the joy and rigor from their lessons.
