SCHOOL CLOSING

The article " Philadelphia superintedent identifies schools he intends to close", by Kristen A. Graham is about the philadelphia school didsrict superintedent, William R. Hite Jr., closing down schools and binding them together to save and get more money.
The superintedent says that all of the closing decisions were made with two goals: boosting academics and ensuring its long-tgerm financial viability. Also, thirty-seven school buildings would be closed down for savings of about $28 million, money nearly broke district says it needs to survive.
The article is informal but it's outrageous because adding these schools together could resolve in fighting because actually some of these schools do not get along, there could be a real problem.
There was a time when a teacher wasn't at the school and the students that was in that classroom had no where to go. They had totry to fix the problem so they spit them up. It wasn't a really good idea because some of the student were fighting and some were being bullyed and that resulted in some students getting hurt or suspended fron school.
I hope they understand what their doing is wrong and that this could end really badly.This is something that I don't want to sit back and watch.

  1. You have some good, strong opinions here, but the post is a bit short because you don't spend enough time talking about the details in the article. 80
