@ Janet " If you want to talk about taxes, that is a valid conversation, but lets remember that…Read More everyone who ever worked in any of our schools and retired with benefits is on the payroll, from janitors to teachers to secretaries to administrators. People are living longer and longer and the number of people on these benefits is going up and will continue to go up exponentially every year." You NAILED it. So how do we begin to START fixing this problem? Any ideas? Or do you think it's just a lost cause with no solution?

Again about the AP number, you really need to talk to the board, I don't know anything about it.…Read More Now, you cannot compare us to Jericho as a rule, but especially for something like SAT's, they have a completely different demographic than us. We are such a diverse community in many ways, especially socio-economically...Jericho is not. SAT's have been shown to be less than effective as a barometer of how kids actually do in college because it is very possible to train kids specifically for them, and plenty of people do. I know people who have hired on long term tutors starting at the beginning of high school at costs of $10-15,000 and more. Also, since the elite colleges often will only take at most two or three kids from a neighborhood school like South Side or Jericho, people who think their kids are destined for the Ivy's start training them early and are having them "compete" academically against other kids in their school. Knowing that a fancy little european car is coming at the end of the road is a great motivator to stay home and study vocab. Nothing wrong with that if it is what you want to do and can afford it, and there in Jericho most people can. And of the people I know of, many do. While many kids here take classes or use tutors, I have not heard the kinds of stories that I have heard from other neighborhoods, like Jericho. I personally have no concerns about our academic performance, it's exactly the opposite. I am proud of the educational opportunities that RVC offers to all of our kids, and pleased that we are able to give so many kids the chance to stretch and excel in their academics where in many other districts they might not get that opportunity for various reasons. I am amazed and pleased every year at the nature, depth and breadth of our college admittances.The vast majority of the kids I have known who came out of South Side have graduated college in 4 years. Isn't that what it is all about? You can talk about this statistic or that but our kids are with very few exceptions, successful in college and beyond, isn't that what we want our schools to do? They are.

The source for the average AP score of 1.8 and the average SAT score of 1618 (Jericho's is 1884) is…Read More the Newsweek rankings. My regents facts are from the NY State report card. For example, only 32% of the students scored 85 or better on the chemistry regents. So now will you answer the question? Where is the concern about our actual academic performance?

Hey Matt Hogan, While I don't buy into posts that you are Johnson's press secretary and him having…Read More a hand in running this publication, I do believe myself and many other readers here would appreciate an in depth, unbiased and objective interview w/ him asking the tuff questions your readers asked here. He always seems available to comment on and inflate the slightest bit of positive news, perhaps he would like the opportunity to comment on and explain his take on the latest rankings, etc. Have you or any member of your staff ever directly interviewed him or requested and interview w/ him and would you consider requesting such an interview?

It is nothing short of amazing that people are still rushing to the defense of Johnson/Burris and…Read More their minions at the PTA. What's wrong w/ you people? When the rankings come out positive they do everything they can to publicise them from plaques on the wall to streaming video on the district website and everything in between. Yet not a peep on the latest rankings. 500+ ranking in NYS, people thats based solely on test scores not the # of kids taking the test and how many free lunches the district provides. Do any of you wonder at all why Johnson encouraged kids to "opt out" of NYS testing? If so let me help you out...The scores are going to be awful and would have been worse had all the kids participated. The quality of life in this town and its education system is circling the bowl, we need positive change not the same old go along to get along mentality. Pls think about voting for Ms Rubino, we need some balance and accountability on that board not a bunch of Johnson puppets. Not sure when Johnson's contract is up but he too has got to go, he is slowly destroying this district. We might try to hire Baldwin's superintendant as he really seems to know what he is doing when it comes to AP.

This is the funniest blog post ever. Someone thinks Patch is run by Johnson, another should have…Read More used the more appropriate pseudonym "know it all" and the most recent thinks the PTA is ruining our neighborhood. Go to a meeting, get involved, educate yourself. If you can't go to a meeting watch the local government and school channel. Then perhaps you would know that the bulk of the school budget is dictated by NY state.
