NYC government schools graduate little monsters that know all about 'gay rights' but almost nothing of the basic skills to function as adults.
Could you imagine how much worse they will be when there is effectively no discipline except the fascist enforcement of leftist orthodoxy?
This is what happens when liberals get their way.

In an effort to keep kids in class, the New York public school system has decided to be more lenient on one-time, low level offenses like talking back and cursing.

NEWYORK.CBSLOCAL.COM reports:
Our goal is to make sure the schools are providing a safe environment for our students, but also we just don't push students out of the classroom where they're not learning as well" Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said.

If you really knew as much as you think you do, you might be dangerous. But you're not guilty of either charge.
They are paid to teach. They are not baby-sitters.
Back in the dark ages, when I taught, if a particular group was causing a class to be disrupted, I would go to the blackboard and write down my name, and under that I would write, "Official Graduate of the Vietnam School of Baby Killers". I never had a single young thug out-stare me or fail to shut up if I walked toward one who kept up his yapping.
The primary rule in my classrooms was that showing respect was required. Everyone, including me, addressed every other male as "Sir". Everyone, including me, addressed every young woman as "Miss" (OK, so I wasn't a real favorite of the femi-nazis later on).
Other teachers would comment about having one of my students in their class because they let a "Sir" or "Miss" occasionally pop out of their mouths.
Young people need discipline and need to know that classroom rules WILL be enforced. Socializing a young human takes an extraordinarily long time.
The line between child and adult is blurred. Students know they can mouth off, cause all the trouble they want, disrupt classes, and disrespect teachers and have absolutely nothing happen to them besides a slap on the wrist. And most of the parents are just as bad, actually encouraging kids to disrespect teachers because they're "white," or because the parents are just as dysfunctional as the students and assume that they are owed an education and that the "teachers work for them" because it is a public school.
The world is passing us up. Most Europeans and Asians laugh at how uneducated and vulgar we are. By the time they are sixteen or seventeen they are speaking three or four languages fluently and have culturally enriched lives (meaning extensive art and music exposure and appreciation). Kids in the U.S., on the other hand, can barely speak English, have math and science shoved down their throats a...

The only thing kids seem to be interested is in spending as much time Facebook, YouTube, or their cell phones as they possibly can. They HAVE to be connected all of the time. It is a sickness, like drug addiction or alcoholism, that is just consuming them. The things that gain popularity are "iPads, iPods, iPhones (notice the prefix I, I , I) because our culture is just about me, me, me...everyone is trying so hard to be unique and different that they all end up being the same.
So, yes, let's keep lowering the bar and flushing our standards down the toilet, because eventually that is where we, as a country, are going to end up.
Obviously I am being sarcastic, but much of what I pointed out does occur regularly. Honestly I am very surprised that the schools are letting up & going that route. After all, bureaucracy & common sense seldom occupy the same space @ the same time. "Zero Tolerance" policies are proof of that.
I would rather see a single ethical and productive member of society come of of a school system than 1000 unethical, classless, and useless graduates.
