The test results at South Vo Tech were not very good. But many kids were in South after being in two other high schools. And most felt that South was a caring, smaller learning community. Many students loved South.
Most students loved their PPS high schools in "those were the days" before Mark Roosevelt/Linda Lane/Lisa Fischetti/ Jeri LIppert, Jeannine French came into office.
Can anyone identify what is wrong with this administration?
Also, achievement was much closer to the state minimum standard before Roosevelt/Lane and Company. Check the state data before 2005.
Anon 11:34 am. There are to many chiefs,doctors and gost employes ,and not enough Indians .That is wrong with this distric.The money they make is outrages.If it were you and me making the mistakes they make we would have been fired. Some one needs to come in and clean out belfield .Who should do it,I don't know ,But it needs done ASAP
I went to south high school ( not south vo tec ) in the 80 s o those were the days . It was a great school and kids came from all over the city for the trades and there were a lot of them from welding , carpintrie ,printing ,plumbing ,brick laying,hvac,and electricity imite have missed some .We do not offer half of the trades now. Not all kids are collage material,so if they want a trade not offered they have to pay to go to a trade school after high school.When they can get 4 years experience and won't need more schooling after high school

The article also comments that Mayor Bloomberg's "insistence that he has presided over an educational miracle recognizes few bounds of contrary fact".
Sounds like South Vo Tech.
