Mental and physical discipline in the classroom.
Family support.
Competent teachers.
Direct instruction.
High academic standards.
None of it is flashy, hip, trendy. You can’t easily monetize these things.
But this is the boring, real work that produces academic results.

It’s time for a change in New York. It’s time for a safer New York. Let’s go vote for one.

But what are students getting for all that spending? How are they performing? Unfortunately, not well... Just 26% of students are proficient in ELA, 7% in math, and 67% are chronically absent. They also "pass" 92% of their students, so basically everyone passes...

NYC spends $107,033 per student at a single middle school. Why?
Let's examine how school spending has gotten out of control at MS371 and why small schools in the city need to merge or close to provide better resources to everyone, including those attending these schools. 🧵

If your child has been suspended 37 times from kindergarten to 1st grade, it’s not the school’s fault.
You’re a terrible mother.

How is this even legal?

Here’s why you should vote NO on all 5 NYC Ballot Questions — while these
proposals are being promoted as ways to make city government faster, more efficient, and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, it shouldn’t
come at the expense of democracy, transparency, public accountability, or community representation.
Ballot questions ask NYC voters whether to cut red tape on outdoor dining, bike lanes

The @NYC_DOT has sabotaged our streets by reducing traffic lanes, changing traffic signals, closing streets, and building bike lanes along major roads that don’t need them. This has had devastating consequences as EMS response times have increased 41%. gothamist.com/news/nyc-ambul…

If NYC schools were “truly integrated” by race and class, three-quarters of students would be low-income and roughly three-fifths Black or Hispanic. And then all children would be proficient in reading and math, right?
As Weber argues, “Samuels, Mamdani, and the press are all focused on the wrong thing. They could do much more for New York City’s minority students by prioritizing academic rigor.”
And I agree. What’s the point of school integration if improving academic outcomes isn’t the goal?

I prosecuted some of the toughest terrorism cases in the country.
Now I’m running for Attorney General because New Yorkers deserve that same determination when it comes to public safety here at home.
The mission is simple: Just Fight Crime.

Fascinating take from former First Deputy Chancellor @DanWeisbergNYC. Some parent leaders say he was the one really in charge.
Weisberg criticizes a system with no accountability, despite consuming 25% of our state budget. The Board of Regents’ most recent vote to eliminate the Regents exams without a clear replacement shows just how broken the system is.
What he proposes makes sense, but I have little hope that NYS legislators care enough to take this on without the teachers union’s blessing. And we all know how the union feels about accountability.
Daniel Weisberg argues New York's governor should pick the Board of Regents, which would then pick the education commissioner. A change in state law would do it, he says. No constitutional amendment needed. vitalcitynyc.org/make-the-go…

An education theorist argued grouping kids by ability creates unfair “racially segregated classrooms.”
Her book helped fuel a movement to put beginners and advanced kids in the same classroom.
Here’s how that push has held smart kids back:

I’m running for Attorney General because we need a prosecutor in charge, focused on New York and focused on safety. I hope you’ll join our campaign, because if New York isn’t safe, nothing else matters.
