Question Of The Day: What Do You Think About Closing City Schools?

ALL city schools should be closed. At least close them down for Black History month so kids can sit home and play video games like many, many urban parents do.

THE QUALITY OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY IS QUESTIONABLE. IF OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS AND RELIGIONS ARE SENDING THEIR CHILDREN TO CATHOLIC SCHOOLS THAT SHOULD GIVE SOMEONE A HINT. YOU HAVE HINDU, MUSLIM AND OTHERS WHO DO NOT EVEN FOLLOW CATHOLICISM ENDURE THIS INTRUSION; IT SHOULD SIGNIFY CONCERN. WE DID NOT RECEIVE COLA THIS YEAR AND YET SENIORS AS WELL AS OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH RENT INCREASES ESPECIALLY IN NYC HOUSING AUTHORITY. IT RANGES FROM $11 DOLLARS TO $200 DOLLARS. IF THOSE OF US WHO ARE DISABLED OR RETIRED HOW ARE WE ABLE TO MEET SUCH FINANCIAL CHALLENGE? DOES MTA HAVE BOARD MEMBERS WITH $500,000 DOLLARS TO MILLION DOLLAR SALARIES? WHAT ABOUT NYC COMMISSIONERS WITH THESE KIND OF SALARIES? AS ALWAYS THE DEPRIVED AND THE ELDERLY MUST BEAR THE BRUNT OF THIS RECESSION?
