Paying Attention

     Some good news for Kathy Hochul...Her cell phone ban in schools is getting a thumbs up from teachers who cite a notable change in behavior.

       If it is successful up here, an on the ball super would invite media in to talk to educators and showcase good things happening in school..

Trump Slump the Market Futures are down Trump Slump better sell everything and move in to a .05% bank savings account Trump Slump. That Slump guy is so infected with TDS he doesn’t realize that he is the blind one. Once again proving that there is no cure for TDS.

Why do they need to showcase anything? To quell talk from uninformed people like you who just assume, spread lies, or complain? The parents know. The teachers know. The data is updated regularly in NY state.

Successful’ certainly not the horrendous graduation rate and spending $26,743 per student is a disgrace.Florida spends on average $12,600 and is ranked higher in education.

That's funny, the cell phone ban is hardly being enforced at all.

8:19 Put your dunce cap on ya moron. I've paid thousands into the WCSD over the years, and the least they could do is be more forthcoming about what's going on in the school system.

@9:26/Poorly Educated Person,

Oh absolutely — Florida is totally “ranked higher.” I mean, who among us hasn’t looked at a easily obtainable source list where New York is literally ranked #1 and Florida is sitting at #24 and thought, “Yep, Florida’s clearly on top.” Bold strategy: just declare the opposite of what the data says and hope nobody scrolls.

And the “horrendous” graduation rate? That’s interesting, because the ranking you’re citing explicitly includes graduation rates in the K–12 performance score. Yet somehow New York still ends up #1 in the nation. Wild how math works for the poorly educated.

As for spending: yes, New York invests more per student. That’s why the highest‑spending states (NY, MA, CT, NJ) dominate the top of the rankings. But sure — let’s pretend that spending less automatically makes schools better. Florida spends about half as much and lands at #24, but hey, don’t let the results get in the way of the narrative.

So no — Florida is not “ranked higher.” The data says the exact opposite.

Perhaps YOU were educated there?

Can we please please please get the red hats back out. No one wears them anymore for embarrassment. They were such a wonderful awesome identifier of retard maga scum approaching. It was great! You’re walking with your girl, or family, into a restaurant or establishment, and here comes an old white guy, beard, no teeth, beer belly, with that bright red stupid hat! Alert! Identified! Kids, wife, beware, an approaching maga retard with the red hats, stay to the side. Dont speak to them, you will only hear an idiot, keep moving. Watch, he will jump into an old rusty piece of shit truck, with a trump bumper sticker and a let’s go Brandon sign…….dad he did. I know son, beware of retards in your life, but we appreciated the up front identification.

If you were schooled better you'd realize you didn't need the source in your link.
No wonder you didn't bother looking at what your fake newz used to determine their fake ratings. Things such as "teacher qualifications", "per-pupil spending" and "student-to-teacher ratios" mean NOTHING. And who knows what "school safety indicators" even means. If you go by SAT scores, you'll see red states at the top of the list.
