Money can\u2019t buy\u00a0me love, and apparently not reading either.\u00a0 Let\u2019s check the latest from the public schools in New York City:<\/p>

New York City, like so many other big, blue cities, serves as an excellent model for how spending overwhelming amounts of taxpayer money can get so much less than underwhelming results.<\/p>\n

A recent report created a damning picture of New York City public schools as mass factories of educational failure.<\/p>\n

New York Success Academy, a charter school network in New York, dug through public data to show \u201cNew Yorkers how deep this failure runs\u201d and how long it has been running.<\/p>\n

The results are both sad and infuriating.<\/p>\n

The study found that 906 schools in the city, roughly half of the total number, \u2018had fewer than half their students passing math, reading, or both on state exams last year.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Those 906 schools enroll 409,379 students: 43 percent of all NYC public school children. In 503 of those schools, the majority of students failed both math and reading,\u2019 the report noted.<\/p>\n

It said the data came from \u2018NYS Education Department school accountability records, NYC Department of Education school quality and expenditure data, federal school improvement designation databases, and standardized test results spanning more than a decade.\u2019<\/p>

Not only are the schools failing by national test metrics, but according to the report, many of the public schools have been trying to hide their bad report cards from the public with methods like grade inflation, lowering test cut scores so it appears more students are passing, and \u2018a school survey designed to measure satisfaction rather than learning.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Failing by national test metrics?\u00a0 I don\u2019t know exactly what that means, but I have a different reaction: How do these people keep their jobs?\u00a0 I mean the administrators, who run these schools.\u00a0 Can you think of another enterprise in the real world where the people running something into the ground still keep getting a paycheck?<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t live in New York City, but some friends who live there tell me that public education is a disaster.\u00a0 One family took an extra job just to send their kids to Catholic schools, where at least they graduate reading at grade level.<\/p>\n

Seriously, what\u2019s the point of paying public education taxes if you have to get an extra job to send your kids to a private school?<\/p>\n

What is Mayor Mamdani going to do about this?\u00a0 He\u2019ll probably blame the rich and tell us that they need to pay their fair share, or whatever that means.\u00a0 Or he will say something like we need another billion dollars to fund the system…it\u2019s always about more money isn\u2019t it?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Good luck to New York City parents, but there is not much hope unless there is some change in your voting patterns first.<\/p>
