Mayor Adams can't be held accountable for his DOE's math and reading programs at this snail's pace.
Dan Weisberg said it could take eight years for the city’s curriculum mandates to pay off. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…
The exams are poorly constructed. Every question should test for something different- the writers of the exams obviously don't know this concept as many questions are repetitive. Perhaps the state should have educators write the exams instead of clueless book companies.
New: In a statement today, @NYSEDNews, which administers the Regents exams, BLAMES NY SCHOOLS for failing to adapt to "new standards." "We are confident that the Regents Exams are well-aligned with the state’s learning standards. Unfortunately, not all schools implement new…
"Traumatic." A Queens teacher who proctored the biology Regents exam said “multiple” students were unable to finish. “For the first time, I saw a classroom of 30 kids take the entire 3 hours... and afterward they were like, ‘What the heck?'” w/@MattCaputo nypost.com/2025/07/26/us-…
Who was in charge of designing this lamebrain system? $17 Million of NYC funds for youth workers was lost in 3 days as students or other people who had the card started pulling unlimited loads of cash from ATMs, $10,000 to $20,000 dollars, $200 at time. nytimes.com/2025/07/24/nyr…

Heads should roll @nysut for approving these exams, and the testing vendor should refund the payments it received.
To be clear, @NYSEDNews approved and admininstered the Regents exams. @nysut is the state teachers' union.

NYSUT has received widespread reports of serious problems with the 2025 Regents exams. Despite proper preparations, it seems exam content did not align with the approved curriculum that educators were directed to teach and students were expected to learn.
The problem is, NYPD Internal Affairs will bury this complaint like it did with the death threats against @JohnDMacari and @EricDymCop.
I have filed an NYPD Internal Affairs complaint against Chief Of Department John Chell for attacking private citizens on social media. In my case, I am plaintiff in a pending case against the NYPD. My attorney @esq_sanders intends to motion the court to seek to depose Mr Chell.
Today, @chicagotribune laid off five guild staff members in a roughly 10% cut to our newsroom. These layoffs underscore a sad but unsurprising failure of leadership by Alden Global Capital, our hedge fund owner, and local management.
This EPS AI Chatbot program was kicked off PEP agenda in December when @nyccomptroller @Bradlander objected. This time for some reason he is strangely silent. comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/state…
The media does not "cheer" this purge.

AI for Adams:
SusanBEdelman: Domanico’s right—decades of failure prove NYC’s education rot isn’t accidental. But let’s name the arsonist: Zohran Mamdani’s “community council” plan to gut mayoral control isn’t reform—it’s activist capture. His DSA playbook replaces accountability with DEI…
