The Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice high school opened on the first day of school this year, but now folks say the building was not up to snuff; it’s not only not ready for its 410 students, but it’s dangerous. “A brick fell out of the drop ceiling into a first-floor office in the last few weeks,” reports the Daily News. “There were broken windows and exposed wires when students arrived. A door – marked room number 617 – was left unlocked and leads not to a classroom, but to a 10-foot drop onto the roof.” The Education Department insists the building is safe. Work on the place is ongoing.

I’ve been a teacher in NYC since 2000. Board of Ed, Dept of Ed, whatever you call it, it’s full of incompetent idiots (I’ll be nice, in the interests of the children reading…), time-wasters, and buck-passers. I’m not at all surprised that a building like this would be called “safe” by these fools who haven’t seen the inside of a classroom in years and who couldn’t give a rat’s behind about the students.
Giuliani had the right idea when asked what to do with 110 Livingston – blow it up and start over. Wouldn’t be missed, and neither would any of the people inside.
Ah, the good old SCA…
