Back To School

Children are returning to school in New York City. Parents are buying all kinds of equipment for their children. Teachers are buying for the student's whose parent do not care. Everyone is busy and billions of dollars are being spent. The question is, what is the pay off for all of the money and energy that is being spent? Public Schools in New York City are good at a few things. They keep young people relatively safe during the day. Schools keep teenagers relatively safe from each other by keeping them in a controlled environment during the day. Schools also feed children that are impoverished with free breakfast as well as lunch. Schools offer the basic language  skills to children between the ages of 6 and 8 years old. That is about all New York City public schools have to offer. If your child needs more than that, you will have to provide it yourself or find it elsewhere. This is one reason why we created the Mighty Pen Center. as far as the 2010 - 2011 school year is concerned, good luck, you will need it.
