Bro go to R&R barbershop near by JSQ. 20 bucks. Parking is rough. Been a JC resident for 20 years

I worked there. Don't use this hospital. Go to jersey city medical center. No peds and minimal if any remaining ob

What do u mean by that? Which kids cannot get educated at home. Like I said my mom/dad came from Pakistan with no formal education. I did the workbooks on my own. I did get lucky because my parents could afford kumon.

However we have access to khan academy. Youtube. Plenty of resources that were not available before. Education is power and now it is available online. I know parents can be busy but we have to make time for our children.

We have to stress to our children that education is their job just like parents have jobs. This is why certain ethnicities Asian communities go very hard in education. I think some parents kinda just want to believe school is supposed to educate them. That is unfair because teachers are different and students are different. As parents we cannot shirk our responsibility to others including education. I'm not saying teachers are not supposed to do their jobs. I'm saying they have 20 plus students at time and their job is difficult as well. We got to do better as parents for education. America has declined significantly in terms of education for our kids

I lived in Jersey City and got my education there as a child until high school. Now as a parent, can someone help me understand why teachers in school are the only way we expect our children to get a good education. Public schools are free and take up a majority of our kids time teaching imo subjects that may not be relevant for their future careers etc.

My main concern is where is the parent's responsibility to teach their children via themselves, tutors, or kumon like structures. After school my mother would give me a workbook for English, Math, and Science to complete for about an hour. Then I would have a Islamic school I would attend for an hour. Asian parents do this with their children for religious and musical purposes.

Some may argue that as parents they do not have time or resources for these things. I'm calling bullshit. You can add some or all of these things. I agree teachers play a role in our education. I had some great teachers but more importantly I had great parents who stressed the need for education and how it would impact my life starting at the age of 6.

We don't need to pay the board of education shit when obviously they don't know what they are doing. Educate your own kids using work books from Amazon for their appropriate grade level or enroll them in after school things like kumon [stressing science and math].

There are great high schools in jersey city such as McNair. It is kind of public meaning you have to take the psat to get in but no money once accepted. The BOE candidates cannot even copy a successful model. We have idiots trying to steal money from taxing paying parents to fund a helpless situation.

Please if I am incorrect about any of this. Tell me so I can see where I am going wrong. I was a poor immigrant in this country before I reached academic success and it was more from my parents than teachers.

TLDR: Parents need to play a role in education. There are other resources than teachers for education. Learn from successful schools such as McNair. Stop raising my fucking taxes cuz I don't believe in the BOE to educate their own children.
