I am utterly disgusted with the amount of cuts the Department of Education & Mayor has made to NYC Public Schools across the board over the 5 boroughs.  They grade teachers and students and yet continue to cut funding, expecting parents of low-middle income to carry the schools.

Every PTA meeting I attend has fund raising at the foreground - silent auction, bake sale, cookie swap, dollar drive, rummage, etc....At a PTA meeting I attended last night we actually applauded because someone donated a box of paper to the schools covered in our district.  That is some bullshit.    The DOE might as well have our educators drawing math problems on the dirt outside with a stick.

ATTENTION DOE & POWERS THAT BE - FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BALANCE YOUR BUDGET! 

Every damn year for the past I don't even know how many years the budget goes down at the very least another $20,000.  I am figuring the DOE is currently giving each school $32.50 for the entire school year.

STOP IT ALREADY!  Parents - it is time to make some noise and not accept these cuts as an option.  The wheels are turning so stay tuned.
