    • As a teacher, I like to believe we improve our schools. That said, I was a great teacher when I was teaching in a public school and when I was teaching in public. There are good and mediocre teachers in both places.

        • No, I am claiming that Stuy and Dalton and Scarsdale High - the top schools - all have the same curriculum. You're right - I wrote students but I meant top students at top schools.
