7:22Now PlayingNew York City spends roughly $36,000 per student and poured approximately $40 billion into public education in 2024. So why are hundreds of thousands of children still struggling in math and reading?
On NEWSMAX’s “America Right Now,” host Tom Basile speaks with Success Academy Charter Schools founder and CEO Eva Moskowitz about a new analysis commissioned by her organization examining performance across New York City’s public schools.
Moskowitz says 43% of the city’s schools are “grossly failing” approximately 400,000 children despite spending more per student than nearly anywhere else. She argues that the central problem is not a lack of money, but low expectations, ineffective teaching methods and an entrenched education bureaucracy.
