“We’re so miserable,” Mariama, a junior at the DOE’s Frederick Douglass Academy in East Harlem told The Post this week. “Please help us!”
Students in one embattled Harlem district have left their public schools in droves – and some who remain are begging for a way out.
“I was mortified to see the state testing results” for local DOE schools, Harlem mom Marsha Taylor told The Post. “I said, ‘I’m not sending my kids here, this is crazy.’” “There’s not even a handful of teachers at this entire school that actually care about their jobs,” charged a junior who has attended Frederick Douglass since 7th grade, when her family immigrated from Jamaica. “I expected way much better in America.”
“A boy wanted to fight him in the bathroom on the second day he was there… and it kept on, kept on and kept on,” the mother of seven said. When The Post visited the DOE’s Thurgood Marshall Academy on W. 135th St. at a recent dismissal, a heated verbal dispute between two groups of boys drew about 75 student spectators. Eight NYPD officers were needed to break things up.
