We must support these wonderful, strong fighters for our children! Thank goodness for people like Ms. Moskowitz. I am quite aware not all Charter schools are good. Some are crap. I support any school that has good teachers that want to teach kids, and not indoctrinate them with silly things.
DiBlasio, and the teachers union block the success of children? Are you kidding me? That is evil. How could you even want to do that? How could you sleep at night? Breaks my heart to see so many parents desperately wanting to get a better education for their kids, and not getting picked. People have got to support whatever works for kids, and gives them a better chance in life. What is happening now for this school - with the evil shutdowns, and all?

AKlover I've heard more than one person out there seeing what they believe to be the signs of the collapse of the educational system as we know it... and as you say, it can't happen fast enough. Once people can pick and choose from educational choices outside of government-approved schools, the indoctrination machine loses its most critical dragnet.
Meanwhile, Catholic Schools, Military schools, and Conservative Schools continue with their success! The problem with liberals is they try to make rocket science out of everything.
I love how people use her salary as a cudgel to attack her....she's running a very successful school helping kids that otherwise would be chewed up and spit out by the public system, she's friggin' earned that salary. The salaries of useless public education figures are an utter scandal when they are captaining a sinking ship. Hypocrites.
if she had not been willing to put her career on the line and lose her job she never would have gotten anywhere with this. good for her, but it shows how negative and destructive these teachers unions are by nature.
Had an older friend who belonged to the Longshoremans Union, so asked him about unions. He would say, "they are a necessary evil." He grew up poor, and later knew the brutal work history of the men who worked the docks. Workers sure did need some kind of decent support.
@@serpentines6356 In the past they had an important function, but there are labor laws in each state that protect workers that didn't exist when unions came about. Medium and large companies have full time employees who's sole function is to make sure the company is abiding by the laws.
Yes! Whatever works for kids to do good, and be successful in life. Why is that so hard for people to comprehend? Who cares if others can't comprehend that? Seems to me that started to be a problem a long time ago. Many teachers, and parents in the public schools dropped the ball, stopped having expectations for betterment, and not demanding excellence, good behaviour, etc.
@@jerkycam That's pathetic. I just could not do that if I was a teacher. I have privately tutored, but not been a school teacher. I couldn't deal with the BS.
Unions were needed back in the 20th century, and may still be needed around the world; but in the United States, with most major companies and industries having protections for workers mandated by law, they're more of a hindrance than a help.
Its why our prices are so high and we have no jobs. I have a feeling that if they were gone, the pendulum would swing the other way again. I just really wish people would compromise on their own as if they werent such greedy pos's.
I've been saying that for years it was different back in the days of Norma Ray but now we have OSHA and lots of other agencies that protect people. Unions are nothing but extortion.
This is so funny and scary how right it is. They criticize capitalism for how greedy it is but these unions use government in order to protect themselves and be a cartel. Sacrifices employment for better teachers and protects employment of terrible teachers. And raising their wages that the taxpayer pays. They're a cancer.

The problem with charter schools is they only fix the problems for some kids. Theres still all the kids who don't have parents that care enough to sign them up. It doesn't solve the bigger problem. It leaves behind the kids at most risk. It's taking out the good kids that have a chance and leaving the ones that don't to fend for themselves while calling it a success. No. As long as there's kids graduating public schools functionally illiterate we don't have success. This just puts a bandaid on it a broken leg. We have to fix the public schools.
It's not just Union vs Non Union that creates the difference in results. It's a factor, but there's another at play. Charter school students represent a different demographic, that is: the parents of these children pursued getting their child into a charter school. That speaks volumes. The parents of these children are putting a concerted effort into maximizing their child's education; They actually care.
I began reading before the 2nd grade. By 6th grade I had read out the school library and the local public library. I dropped out of high school (perhaps because of boredom) and entered the Air Force in the Vietnam period. My first job out of the AF was in high energy nuclear research. I became a self taught electronics engineer and became quite successful. At one point I was making a quarter of a million dollars a year. I built ground breaking medical instruments and amoung other things a communications conversion board that was installed in the space station. Reading really is the key to success in life and today my grandchildren in the fourth grade can barely read the simplest sentence. The teachers unions must go. Any and all unions that have the slightest control of schools must go or else the American dream will go. Only top notch principals and teachers should have ANY say in the education of children.
Public Schools in America are completely broken. In a city like New York, where the teacher's union contract favors the teacher in every possible way, where you can get a TENURED POSITION in two years, there is a 19-25% attrition rate of teachers in the first two years. Now, Attrition includes firings and resignations, but as we know, even in cases of sexual or violent outburst, it's very difficult to fire a teacher. So why are 20% or teachers quitting in the first two years? These are people who are promised a PAYCHECK for LIFE if they stick out two years. But people with integrity cannot remain in a system that harms children in favor of the pocketbooks of the teachers and administration. Tear down the government school system, they have failed us utterly.
How great it is to see that these students are protected from deranged ideology and useless activism so they can focus on learning what they need to know to become what they wish to be.
I remember how my folks had me learn to read over the summer before 1st grade. The books were not special, just the ones they read when they went to 1st grade. That year I was tested as having a 7th grade level reading level. what happened to 6 years?
I used to be a government employee and quit because it seemed like a joke of wasteful spending, bad policies that the free market can do a far better job doing. I thought I was conservative in some ways, mostly fiscal but definitely classical liberal.
God's speed and safety! You're a courageous person! You should run our country's schools and break the corrupt teacher's union who are killing our minorities.
Charter Schools and Their Enemies by Thomas Sowell. I had no idea how low the test scores were in public schools. He exposes how the teachers unions are being favored over the needs of the children. The way out of poverty is through a better education. Charter schools need more funding and I like competition in schools because it leads to innovation and improvements. This is a huge issue. We need school choice. New York has 212 buildings that are half full. These buildings need to be filled with Charter School students. Let’s think our children first.
it all starts with the parents. providing kids with proper nutrition, regular sleep schedules, scheduling study time, and providing an environment for kids to study (no TV, yelling, screaming, someone to help with homework). Parenting, Parenting, Parenting.
Lunch room comment: We all want a 30 minute break at our job. No matter the job, retail, construction, teaching, people need a break. How would you like it if you had to have a working lunch every day, trying to eat your own lunch while servicing 500 kids in a cafeteria? People are not robots you can not just work them for 8 to 12 hours without breaks.
teachers don't work a full 8 hour day! they work less and they are not teaching the whole time maybe not even 3/4th of the day but you can continue to say that they get no breaks but that clearly isn't so.
i knew a janitorial company that was unionised. thank gawd. no longer could supervisors and management hit the employees, utter threats, force them to pay for their cleaning supplies, withhold pay. they were still paid little better than minimum wage and had really little for benefits but they had a better workplace environment - just the way they were treated and spoken to... the first two offences i and two other co-workers saw happen. about three weeks after they unionised we were called into HR and a pair of detectives wanted to question us about the assaults (2) and threatening to fire them if they complained to police. we cooperated. sometimes there is more going on than meets the eye. i don't think you need to be in a union to be a janitor but it could help your cause...
Vahan Gureghian has been doing this successfully in the Chester Upland School district area in Chester Pa. His success rate is astounding. Of course he is absolutely HATED by the teacher's union.
Keep on the pressure to keep charter schools. Helps to educate kids so they may become self sufficient and not end up in poverty once they graduate from high school.
Charter schools give each teacher a greater degree of freedom and independence within their own classroom in order to meet the individual demands to each of their students. I fully know and believe in every teacher's ability to properly teach without having to adhere to a huge bureaucracy which governs what, when, and how they must teach any subject. Charter schools represent the solution to restructuring the public education system in every state, while using the same amount of funding to empower every teacher to make their own decisions without throwing more money at our failing schools, but yet again excepting better results. As anyone can see from the video, majority of the students enrolled in NYC charter schools come from lower income households who actually need the assistance to become educated in order to emerge from poverty. As someone having graduated from high school less than 5 years ago and having learned at an accelerated pace in college within the realm of electrical engineering which exceeds anything public school ever exposed me to, I know the increased rigor which charter schools provide work much better.
You can have access, affordability, or quality, but you can only pick two. This is true of pretty much everything that costs money, including education. High quality, accessible education? High cost. (Private schools.) Affordable, accessible education? Low quality. (Public schools.) High quality, affordable education? Not enough to go around. (Charters like this one) There is no way to give every child low cost, high quality education. There is no way to give every citizen high quality, low cost health care. Politicians know this but they will never admit it because most adults are actually children that can still vote.
@Burner Fire As somebody who prefers private sector charities. I totally understand this sentiment. The government makes everything super complicated with their annoying special interests, soft costs, and whatnot.
I was put into a school with high academic standard after attending very average to sub standard ones and by just not wanting to get in trouble I just fell into the work with minimal effort. And I’m no brains trust and wasn’t motivated the way the others were. I didn’t get it though I had more opportunities than most people. We had diplomats kids from Africa and asians. I had other contributing factors that set me back. But my point is you can try functioning at almost any level and show promise
No no no, the problem with American schools is that they are underfunded. Clearly this is why they are out performed by countries that spend less including some rather poor countries. It's called logic people! This problem will go away as soon as we increase spending on public schools and teacher's salaries as it always has in the past. Also just because these charter schools are working doesn't mean we should support them. What black children need isn't proper education it's more welfare checks and white people checking their privilege. The goal isn't to change the paradigm so that a young black man is no longer more likely to see a prison cell than a college classroom but to provide job security for the *teachers, the truly oppressed minority!* We need to stop building these charter schools that make teachers look bad just because our schools are a joke the rest of the world tells behind our backs and go back to building more prisons, to give these children a place to live and work after they drop out.
Ozbrithian we spend the 3rd most on education in the world just behind Switzerland and Norway. It's really easy to find this information online. Try posting the truth went you go on a rant. The problem is unions protecting lousy teachers. Their job is safe no matter how they preform their jobs. My whole family , parents, wife and both my sister's are teachers in public school districts so in no way am I bashing teachers I consider most teachers saints for the job they do for so little in return. That's why the unions are falling apart due to right to work laws. Most teachers I know maybe all of them have dropped out of their union.
God bless Moskowitz. Any parent who pays any attention to what is happening in the classroom should be horrified with the power of the teacher’s union. We need to incent good educators and fire the slugs. Teachers are critical to our country’s future. We need the best and the brightest.
I am 100% pro organized labor. But absolutely hate the teachers union. I am a 35 year skilled tradesmen. My wife taught 20 years union, and 10 years in a charter school. Neither this lady, or the teachers union is telling the truth. She said she could choose to pay teachers more. I can guarantee she does not choose to. Charter schools where we live pay about 10k less than public schools. And most of them are profit driven. Not student driven. The option that's best for a student is generally not feasible for most families. Home schooling.
Really? Ya I guess being able to retire before turning 60 sucks. Maybe I should go back in time and work for half the wages, and about a third of the benefits. Ya that would be much better than joining a union.
I traditionally don’t like the idea of liberal politicians coming into my area. But i would absolutely vote for this women to come and reform our schools
In my experience teaching; if you get successful results with kids regarded as " unreachable "- you will be hated for it . By doing so you hold a mirror up.
school choice is only a choice of location not educational choice. it is also removing our representative form of government by privatizing education. everyone should be up in arms about this that is a citizen of the US.

It's not just Union vs Non Union that creates the difference in results. It's a factor, but there's another at play. Charter school students represent a different demographic, that is: the parents of these children pursued getting their child into a charter school. That speaks volumes. The parents of these children are putting a concerted effort into maximizing their child's education; They actually care.
Any good thing can get infected. This story is a breath of fresh air.
"...deferring when they're going to be honest."
Is there a law in NYC that says you can't just call people liars?
Probably
Its being professional
I began reading before the 2nd grade. By 6th grade I had read out the school library and the local public library. I dropped out of high school (perhaps because of boredom) and entered the Air Force in the Vietnam period. My first job out of the AF was in high energy nuclear research. I became a self taught electronics engineer and became quite successful. At one point I was making a quarter of a million dollars a year. I built ground breaking medical instruments and amoung other things a communications conversion board that was installed in the space station. Reading really is the key to success in life and today my grandchildren in the fourth grade can barely read the simplest sentence. The teachers unions must go. Any and all unions that have the slightest control of schools must go or else the American dream will go. Only top notch principals and teachers should have ANY say in the education of children.
Reading, writing, arithmetic and high expectations, no politics, no unions, it works! God bless her!
Eva Moskowitz you are a hero!
Wow.....teaching reading in school with expectation, who knew????
You are an inspiration Eva!!! Keep fighting this good important fight!!!!
I love and agree with what she is saying! My honest wish is the PUBLIC SCHOOLS would get it together and properly educate our children!
Eva Moskowitz and Geoffrey Canada are 2 of my personal heroes. Very inspiring people that give me hope for the future.
Thank you for the brilliant exemple. Never give up! Haroldo Rodrigues, Brazil
My new favorite liberal 😌 -a conservative
Excellent reporting! Public education is the future of our country.
Public Schools in America are completely broken. In a city like New York, where the teacher's union contract favors the teacher in every possible way, where you can get a TENURED POSITION in two years, there is a 19-25% attrition rate of teachers in the first two years. Now, Attrition includes firings and resignations, but as we know, even in cases of sexual or violent outburst, it's very difficult to fire a teacher. So why are 20% or teachers quitting in the first two years? These are people who are promised a PAYCHECK for LIFE if they stick out two years. But people with integrity cannot remain in a system that harms children in favor of the pocketbooks of the teachers and administration. Tear down the government school system, they have failed us utterly.
I've never heard anything good about that Mayor.
Tenure should be outlawed in any publicly funded institutions
How great it is to see that these students are protected from deranged ideology and useless activism so they can focus on learning what they need to know to become what they wish to be.
"But I thought I had an obligation."
This. THIS. This woman cares.
Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman argued the very same thing. Conservatives and true liberals, I believe, see this too.
Public sector unions must be abolished in their entirety.
Speak the truth lady.
good to hear a libertarian view on this issue. from canada
Reading, really the key to educating anyone in anything
How can you not love this woman. A true hero.
I remember how my folks had me learn to read over the summer before 1st grade. The books were not special, just the ones they read when they went to 1st grade. That year I was tested as having a 7th grade level reading level. what happened to 6 years?
no chaos in the building. that helps the learning environment greatly as well.
That's why my child goes to private school in Mexico. My children come out light years ahead of their peers in college.
I used to be a government employee and quit because it seemed like a joke of wasteful spending, bad policies that the free market can do a far better job doing. I thought I was conservative in some ways, mostly fiscal but definitely classical liberal.
God's speed and safety! You're a courageous person! You should run our country's schools and break the corrupt teacher's union who are killing our minorities.
Charter Schools and Their Enemies by Thomas Sowell. I had no idea how low the test scores were in public schools. He exposes how the teachers unions are being favored over the needs of the children. The way out of poverty is through a better education. Charter schools need more funding and I like competition in schools because it leads to innovation and improvements. This is a huge issue. We need school choice. New York has 212 buildings that are half full. These buildings need to be filled with Charter School students. Let’s think our children first.
it all starts with the parents. providing kids with proper nutrition, regular sleep schedules, scheduling study time, and providing an environment for kids to study (no TV, yelling, screaming, someone to help with homework).
Parenting, Parenting, Parenting.
I would be ashamed to say I was a liberal these days!
Lunch room comment: We all want a 30 minute break at our job. No matter the job, retail, construction, teaching, people need a break. How would you like it if you had to have a working lunch every day, trying to eat your own lunch while servicing 500 kids in a cafeteria? People are not robots you can not just work them for 8 to 12 hours without breaks.
teachers don't work a full 8 hour day! they work less and they are not teaching the whole time maybe not even 3/4th of the day but you can continue to say that they get no breaks but that clearly isn't so.
Do I really need to be a union member just so that I can work as a janitor?
i knew a janitorial company that was unionised. thank gawd. no longer could supervisors and management hit the employees, utter threats, force them to pay for their cleaning supplies, withhold pay. they were still paid little better than minimum wage and had really little for benefits but they had a better workplace environment - just the way they were treated and spoken to...
the first two offences i and two other co-workers saw happen. about three weeks after they unionised we were called into HR and a pair of detectives wanted to question us about the assaults (2) and threatening to fire them if they complained to police. we cooperated.
sometimes there is more going on than meets the eye. i don't think you need to be in a union to be a janitor but it could help your cause...
A lot of unions go too far, but look at how fast food workers are treated. With out unions I bet that's how the janitors and painters would be treated
I am glad Mrs.Moskowitz has made a drastic change for the better.
She is worth half a million.
She is a national hero. So inspiring how one person can make a change.
This needs to be on national news often.Voucher charter schools work.expose them every chance you can if you really care about your kids
School choice puts childrens’ education first
Keep it up 👍🏼
Godspeed to this woman on her way
Vahan Gureghian has been doing this successfully in the Chester Upland School district area in Chester Pa. His success rate is astounding. Of course he is absolutely HATED by the teacher's union.
Keep on the pressure to keep charter schools. Helps to educate kids so they may become self sufficient and not end up in poverty once they graduate from high school.
Charter schools give each teacher a greater degree of freedom and independence within their own classroom in order to meet the individual demands to each of their students. I fully know and believe in every teacher's ability to properly teach without having to adhere to a huge bureaucracy which governs what, when, and how they must teach any subject. Charter schools represent the solution to restructuring the public education system in every state, while using the same amount of funding to empower every teacher to make their own decisions without throwing more money at our failing schools, but yet again excepting better results. As anyone can see from the video, majority of the students enrolled in NYC charter schools come from lower income households who actually need the assistance to become educated in order to emerge from poverty. As someone having graduated from high school less than 5 years ago and having learned at an accelerated pace in college within the realm of electrical engineering which exceeds anything public school ever exposed me to, I know the increased rigor which charter schools provide work much better.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that mixing politics with education results in poor education.
This woman is fighting the fight that we should be fighting and that is the betterment of our children.
She's a brave woman to go up against the machine politics to advocate for the children an their families.
You can have access, affordability, or quality, but you can only pick two. This is true of pretty much everything that costs money, including education.
High quality, accessible education? High cost. (Private schools.)
Affordable, accessible education? Low quality. (Public schools.)
High quality, affordable education? Not enough to go around. (Charters like this one)
There is no way to give every child low cost, high quality education. There is no way to give every citizen high quality, low cost health care. Politicians know this but they will never admit it because most adults are actually children that can still vote.
Is "Eva Moskowitz" a closeted libertarian?
No, she's actually intelligent.
@@kgonepostl Are libertarians illiberal?
@Burner Fire As somebody who prefers private sector charities. I totally understand this sentiment. The government makes everything super complicated with their annoying special interests, soft costs, and whatnot.
This is the problems with unions.unions seem to only care about it's members and not that of the children.
I really enjoy Reason TV.....Thank you for this video.
Abolish state education.
wonderful person with wonderful results.
Choice is good, rigorous curriculums are too, results orientation holds teachers accountable instead of unions shielding mediocrity.
I was put into a school with high academic standard after attending very average to sub standard ones and by just not wanting to get in trouble I just fell into the work with minimal effort. And I’m no brains trust and wasn’t motivated the way the others were. I didn’t get it though I had more opportunities than most people. We had diplomats kids from Africa and asians. I had other contributing factors that set me back. But my point is you can try functioning at almost any level and show promise
No no no, the problem with American schools is that they are underfunded. Clearly this is why they are out performed by countries that spend less including some rather poor countries. It's called logic people! This problem will go away as soon as we increase spending on public schools and teacher's salaries as it always has in the past.
Also just because these charter schools are working doesn't mean we should support them. What black children need isn't proper education it's more welfare checks and white people checking their privilege. The goal isn't to change the paradigm so that a young black man is no longer more likely to see a prison cell than a college classroom but to provide job security for the *teachers, the truly oppressed minority!*
We need to stop building these charter schools that make teachers look bad just because our schools are a joke the rest of the world tells behind our backs and go back to building more prisons, to give these children a place to live and work after they drop out.
Ozbrithian we spend the 3rd most on education in the world just behind Switzerland and Norway. It's really easy to find this information online. Try posting the truth went you go on a rant. The problem is unions protecting lousy teachers. Their job is safe no matter how they preform their jobs. My whole family , parents, wife and both my sister's are teachers in public school districts so in no way am I bashing teachers I consider most teachers saints for the job they do for so little in return. That's why the unions are falling apart due to right to work laws. Most teachers I know maybe all of them have dropped out of their union.
jeddodon
The entire rant was satire...
The sarcasm is strong with this one!
...And I like it!!
As much as I wish to agree with you. If you have the greatest school it would mount to a hill of beans if you have parents that do not care.
The first paragraph is a great example of Poe's Law.
By the second and third paragraph, thankfully, the parody becomes clear.
God bless Moskowitz. Any parent who pays any attention to what is happening in the classroom should be horrified with the power of the teacher’s union. We need to incent good educators and fire the slugs. Teachers are critical to our country’s future. We need the best and the brightest.
I am 100% pro organized labor. But absolutely hate the teachers union. I am a 35 year skilled tradesmen. My wife taught 20 years union, and 10 years in a charter school. Neither this lady, or the teachers union is telling the truth. She said she could choose to pay teachers more. I can guarantee she does not choose to. Charter schools where we live pay about 10k less than public schools. And most of them are profit driven. Not student driven. The option that's best for a student is generally not feasible for most families. Home schooling.
Private sector unions are fine but public sector unions like teacher unions, who are funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, have got to go.
unions cause more grief than they do create happiness
Really? Ya I guess being able to retire before turning 60 sucks. Maybe I should go back in time and work for half the wages, and about a third of the benefits. Ya that would be much better than joining a union.
I traditionally don’t like the idea of liberal politicians coming into my area. But i would absolutely vote for this women to come and reform our schools
In my experience teaching; if you get successful results with kids regarded as " unreachable "- you will be hated for it . By doing so you hold a mirror up.
This is the best person Reason has interviewed.
school choice is only a choice of location not educational choice. it is also removing our representative form of government by privatizing education. everyone should be up in arms about this that is a citizen of the US.
