Sunset Park Finally Getting Its Own High School
When the school year begins on September 9th, Sunset Parkers will be cheering. Why? Because after more than three decades, they’ll finally have a high school to call their own.

When the school year begins on September 9th, Sunset Parkers will be cheering. Why? Because after more than three decades, they’ll finally have a high school to call their own. As the Daily News pointed out in an article last February, discussions about the school began four decades ago but were derailed by fiscal problems of the 1970s. Construction on the 1,500-seat school, which will be focused on three tracks–performing and visual arts; health and human services, and business and entrepreneurship–finally began in 2006. GMAP
“and he even got beat down by some boys due to uncontrollable winking aimed at girls..”
No, Rob got beat down by the same boys he was winking at.
That’s right ENY. Rob is a classic example of white privilege in action.
“perhaps i am just as much of a deadbeat, but such isnt the case really.”
No perhaps about it. You’ve bragged previously about how you haven’t paid off your student loans. You’re definitely a deadbeat.
so fine im a criminal. maybe ill apply to this school. id fit right in!
*rob*
rob- sorry but if the education was so top notch in Jersey, how come you didn’t know enough about current events or American history to know who Ted Kennedy was?
Welfare keeps most people together body and soul- and yes. Not paying your loans back does make you a deadbeat.If your loans kept you from a life of crime (although i would have thought good morals would do that), then pay back your loans- otherwise you are committing a crime.
Sometimes I just wish we would stop using comparisons as the filter through which we see everything in life and just look at the best ways to support those who need it the most. Without being judgmental. But comparisons seems to create rankings and biases and we do it with everything in this country. That said, rob, fdi you fall on a tack or something? You never went to a NYC public school and you know nothing about them really.
This new school will be a plus for Sunset Park. Good for them!
“yeah but my students loans that im not paying back educated me”
That’s debatable.
yeah but my students loans that im not paying back educated me and kept from a life of crime. welfare benefits keep people in a vicious cycle of poverty, crime, and over breeding. perhaps i am just as much of a deadbeat, but such isnt the case really.
and before you bring up race again 1.) im white and 2.) i grew up in the projects (in nj tho where at least public school education is top notch, even in the ghetto)

Snappy, any contentious discussion on here has a super-gravitational pull for race.
seeing as were here though, one thing I’m interested in is the annual discussion in the media of the black-white achievement gap in schools. Seeing as asians perform and score better than whites in HS tests, and seeing as (if 11217’s figs are correct) asians make up about the same portion of NYC HS students as whites, why isn’t it a discussion about the black-asian gap? In other words, how does it make sense to compare one’s performance to the “second best” group instead of the highest?
Wait, Rob haven’t you written on this site that you owe back taxes and haven’t paid off your student loans at all? It’s galling that you always say things like “it’s disgusting that people in nyc get benefits out the a$$”. Have you taken a look at yourself?
Since you are so opinionated, seem to rail against everyone and everything in every thread on this site, please enlighten us on your thoughts about gov’t sponsored deadbeats.
