The education gap hits home - NYPOST.com


The education gap hits home - NYPOST.com:

"A single mother living in Harlem knows the plusses and minuses of charter schools firsthand -- because she has one son in a public school and another in a charter school.

'I love both my sons equally and think they deserve the same opportunity for a good education,' Quintasha Bullock said. 'So I'm disappointed that [lawmakers in Albany] will only let one of my boys go to charter school.'

Her 7-year-old, Quinzaire, 'was lucky enough' to get into Promise Academy 1, a charter school, this year, she said.

But her other son, Nashon, 11, attends PS 46 in Harlem."
