Saturday, August 25, 2018

School curriculum stuck in the 80's.

Typical DOE mentality by teachers:
a) " I am tenured, don't give a #&# "
b) " Just hanging in there until I retire "
c) " I don't have to do that - I belong to a union "

Administration is a s--t show.
Leadership is clueless. Close Quote

The school is not what it once was. The classrooms are dangerously overcrowded. The children are not appropriately supervised. Parental involvement is not welcome unless it to contribute financially. Parents aren't even allowed to visit the School! The principal is unprofessional and rude. He is a big bully. Trying to transfer our child out. Close Quote

The school is not living up to its reputation. The classrooms at PS 24 are severely overcrowded and I do not see them working in a solution anytime soon. The teachers are very caring and are trying to do the best they can under the terrible circumstances in which they are working in. The interim principal however, doesn't seem to care about parents concerns or questions. I had an issue with my daughter and he did not respond to any of my email messages nor did he follow up with me. My daughters class has 31 students with a new teacher. The teacher has no teachers aid in the classroom although I am told that new teachers always have a mentor. I also have children in my child's class that need special attention which they are not receiving which in turn disrupts all of the other children almost every day. If you have a young child and have the means to provide them with a paid for education I would strongly advise you to do so. I would not recommend PS 24 at all. Close Quote

My daughter attends the K class at P.S.24. This is an excellent school – the teachers are firm but very caring. There is a lot of emphasis on the arts, as well as exposure to science and computers. The student diversity is a real strength. The Parents Association is highly active and does an excellent job raising funds for activities, equipment (Mac Lab and well stocked library), as well as additional in-class part-time support. The only concern seems to be the relative overcrowding. However, overall the school is a safe, inviting, and clean. My daughter is very happy to attend it. Close Quote
