I had the opportunity to chat with
18、 him about the issues that face the New York City public school system.What are the problems we face in the New York City public school system?We are spending $23 billion of the publics hard earned money in New York City every year to support the countrys largest school district, and yet 35% of the
19、students are not graduating from high school. The good news is just a few years ago it was half the students, and things had been frozen at that rate for the prior 50 years. Still, 35% are not graduating and they are largely male, African American and Latino. This is significant evidence that despit
20、e everything we are doing, we havent been able to close the achievement gap in the city.What I think differentiates New York from some other countries in the world that I have visited or am familiar with is that we recognize there is an achievement gap. This contrasts with Israel which runs 5 separa
21、te and unequal school systems. Their primary concern, as in many other places, is to produce the few outstanding mathematicians and scientists who can compete with other countries, compared to thinking about educating the entire population to their highest potential.In America, it is not that we are
22、nt producing enough college graduates. Its that the students who are most likely to graduate are disproportionately white, Asian, and female in large urban areas versus male, African American, and Latino. You can still walk into a kindergarten class in New York City on the first day of school, and s
23、imply on the basis of race and how kids are dressed, predict with frightening accuracy which kids are likely to graduate 13 years later.

24、 for this?Ill give you one example of how we exacerbate the problem, however unintentionally. For years in New York City we had a seniority transfer plan. The most senior and consequently most expensive teachers could transfer into middle class schools in areas where they were needed least. That cre
25、ated a situation in our poorest neighborhoods of the revolving door of the newest teachers. This went on decade after decade, seemingly with the approval of those in management positions.What should be the goal of the public education system?I am a product of public education. My parents were holoca

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it had “registered” a new weed-killer formula that conta
30、ins two older herbicides: glyphosate (better known as Roundup) and 2, 4-D.Versions of these weedkillers have been around for decades. But farmers in six Midwestern states will be allowed to use the new formula, called Enlist Duo, on their corn and soybeans.
