Public Schools












Jim Mullen, author of the book in my previous post, rode the NYC subway and spied this ad:







We're Hiring!
New York Public Schools Want Bilingual College Grads
Qualified as
School Psychologists
Social Workers
Teachers of Special Education
Teachers of Speech Improvement
Guidance Counselors


Then he commented:
New York City public school students are reading two years below grade level. Am I the only one to notice they want everything but regular classroom teachers?

As a teacher (16 years in the government schools), I often wondered about this myself! How thankful I am that we've been able to home school our children.
