Why I Resigned

Diane Ravitch seems to be the only public figure paying attention to the KGB type system the Bloomberg/ Klein's administration created out ot the New YOrk School system.

Everyone else, including politicians and the media, seem to have bought the public relation stunts and blatant lies this BKDOE has appealed to to cover up for the horrible stories and the huge failure. This is easy explainable for the amount of money the BK administration has mispent in private contracts to non educators and greedy people whose only purpose is to profit from the milking cow they have seen in the school system.

The money goes to every pocket -including the so called experts from Great Britain (who schoolsystem is as chaotic as NYC has become) except to where it matters:school resources and students.

Blomberg and Klein had maliciously targeted teachers as sacrificial lambs to blame for their own failures.

What do you think a lawyer and a multibillionaire businessman would do to education but to attempt to make it into a profiting business?
