My daughter was recently transferred there last year. In the first year, my daughter was bullied by a classmate for 3 months. Nothing was done about it.. My daughter ended up being transferred to another class. There are lots of issues with the male students who try bullying the female students. No Consequences or actions are put into place. Looking to place my child in a different school .

Good evening to you. The teachers are excellent. The administration is terrible. I have a question as well as comments...Passing the ball, TAG your it. Sitting up on the pulpit surrounded by puppets, that was what I encountered this evening at the Town Hall Meeting at the Soundview Academy in the Bronx with Chancellor, Carmen Farina. Did she answer anyone's question directly? NO! My question and statement to the Chancellor was, "As a parent of three children with "man-titled disabilities", I am aware of most of the changes within the state of New York and the Board of Education system. I've been a part of the system now for over eighteen years. My question is now with the Common Core Standards being fully implemented here in New York, how are Special Education students being held to those standards or will there modifications indicated on there I.E.P.s be recognized utilized? Yes, before you address my question, I am a proactive parent in my children's educational needs. I sit on the Parent Association Board at Public School 182 in the Bronx. I've had numerous meetings and conversations with my children's teachers and with the administration at the school in regards to my concerns. I voice these concerns at PA meetings and at private conferences with the administration and teachers. Why are there no positive after-school programs and tutoring services being allotted for, for those students who need the extra assistance? I have a first grader who is promotion in doubt. I've been told that that is basically the bottom line. THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR MY CHILD. THAT IS NOT AN OPTION!!! No other options were offered to me such as Summer School...Chancellor Farina did not answer my question. Matter-of-factly, I have no clue exactly what her response was and what in fact did it mean. I am reaching out to anyone who can not only answer these concerns of my, but also stop being so diplomatic and systematic with there response. Can anyone be empathetic and human and answer these questions on a personal note. Please can we keep the politics out of the schools.
