I found this article and was shocked to see some of the conditions that the Public Schools in NYC are/were teaching our children in.  Classrooms being made out of old closets and bathrooms?  Handcuffs being distributed to the schools?  I think there needs to be a redistribution of the money so that all schools are safe, clean, and provide good teachers for our children.

I found this study about the WEP (Work Experience Program) in NYC.  It localizes what we were talking about in class yesterday.  The PDF is a little long, but it is very informative.
