The article discusses the moral and systemic failures of New York's public education, particularly for students in failing schools. President Trump's declaration emphasizes that every child deserves a good education, which stands in stark contrast to the prevailing neglect by state lawmakers and the teachers' union. Despite New York's high spending on education, the results are underwhelming, with many students trapped in poor-performing institutions. The piece calls for a more effective response rather than prolonged receivership of failing schools, which only perpetuates the status quo and fails to protect students' futures.
Trapping kids in schools where almost no learning occurs is an atrocious moral failing... President Trump took a step toward correcting: He declared every child deserves a good education.
New Yorkers are actually paying top dollar for abject failure... The odds of lifetime success are stacked against kids in Poughkeepsie, where only 5% of fourth-graders are proficient.
State lawmakers and Gov. Hochul callously ignore the plight of these kids stuck in poor-performing schools... Parroting the teachers' union, the pols perpetuate the lie that more tax dollars will turn bad schools around.
Persistently failing schools could, and should, be slammed shut by the State Education Department... Instead, New York keeps failing schools open... a charade that saves union jobs, not young lives.
