The Difficulty: A Brooklyn highschool instructing its juniors classes on “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.“
New York Metropolis’s public faculties have sadly devolved right into a union of overpaid sycophants and sinecures (“Bear’ly studying,” Nov. 20).
Solely when mother and father demand that the left’s chains of mediocrity and indoctrination — which have strangled significant studying for too lengthy — be damaged can any actual schooling resume.
However nobody must be holding their breath. For town’s mother and father wanting a strong and aggressive schooling for his or her kids, there appears however one recourse: Get outta city!

Using “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” in an Eleventh-grade class at Edward R. Murrow HS is simply the most recent instance of the sort of academic fraud being perpetrated by too lots of our public excessive faculties.
The try by somebody within the college to state that that is an instance of scaffolding towards tougher work is chucklein a position on its face.
Mother and father must be outraged and Chancellor David Banks must put a cease to this disgraceful academic malfeasance instantly.
Our children should be educated, not have their intelligence insulted.

The poor state of America’s academic system is, sadly, not stunning.
Large-city college programs are full of radical Marxists. They're purposefully dumbing- down their classes so college students received’t be ready for faculty, and most will both drop out or received’t apply within the first place.
However why would they need that? Many of those poorly educated college students will wind up in jobs they don’t like, and a great variety of these will finally stop and search authorities help.
An added bonus is that almost all of those college students won't ever marry and lift a household, which can also be what they need.
China should be smiling to see how we educate our kids in the USA. What a shame.

I perceive the worth of studying “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” — it’s making ready our kids for as we speak’s society.
Criminals profit from catch and launch. Individuals who don’t work abuse unemployment, and others blame the virus for top costs Nobody has accountability. So train our kids the straightforward method out, too.

The Difficulty: The issuing of the state’s first recreational-marijuana gross sales licenses to companies.
From the second the state legalized the possession of sure quantities of pot, retailers have been opening like wildfire in all neighborhoods of New York (“Sure We Hashish,” Nov. 22).
Simply what are the results for these unlawful retailers promoting pot? Are they being issued summons? Are they being closed? Are they dropping their storefront enterprise licenses? Nothing in any respect?
We've had no less than 4 or 5 shops opened in our group of Whitestone. What's being completed?

As a teen, I bear in mind asking older guys to purchase us boys a bottle of beer as they entered a grocery, as a result of we had been too younger. The identical will occur with marijuana now that sale of it's normalized, like an ice cream bar.
For some, will probably be addictive and a gateway to different medication. This marijuana has a efficiency nicely past your grandfather’s marijuana.
My pet peeve has at all times been the usage of the adjective “leisure” because it pertains to marijuana. The adjective is used to decrease that it’s a mind-altering drug. It must be decriminalized, not normalized.
