He did not do a single thing to fix failing NYC schools so on his way out the door Mayor de Blasio destroyed the rare functioning component of the NYC school system. You voted for this, New Yorkers, twice. nytimes.com/2021/10/08/nyr…
.@elizashapiro is openly anti-gifted education so "experts say" is her opinion. That second paragraph, though, YAH teaching kids with a wide range of abilities in one classroom is difficult. But whatever, it's only kids who lose out. 
The next mayor can absolutely overturn all of this. This is @elizashapiro's way of saying he shouldn't.
I love all the parts of this article that are like *and then we'll just retrain all the teachers and spend millions of dollars on this and it will be totally fine* as if the rest of the school system isn't mostly a flaming disaster and all of their plans worthless.
It really is leftism in action. They could not make the bad schools better so they'll make the good schools worse and call it a win. (I should note these changes do not affect me. My kids are old enough to not have destruction of G&T make a difference.)
