This article talks about NYC school and how many students,teachers and parents responded to the Department of Education survey. The city believes this survey is very important for all students to complete, because they have the chance to express there concerns and their worries. According to this article students and teacher were very satisfied with their school.
Schools are maintaining order and making it a priority to help students achieve and graduate.
I agree in some parts with this article because for the last couple of years NYC school are becoming safer for students. But not all school are safe. Some school have really bad students and very low graduation rates. The High School I attended my freshman year wasn't a very good school compared to the small alternative school I attend now. I am very satisfied with the education I have been receiving here at West Side High School. The only thing that can be done to improve my high school and many NYC school is if they hire more teachers so we can have smaller classes. Also hiring more security guards will maybe make students feel safer in the hallways. I took this survey and I believe every student should also take it. Students and also parents are given the opportunity to expressed their opinion of are education. Hopefully the mayor listens to our major concerns and help improve all New York City schools.
