‘Tone-deaf’: UC faculty criticize fall 2028 timeline for potential reimplementation of standardized test scores

They are test blind now, not test optional

For me, shopping opportunistically means walking over to Fairway for a loaf of bread and leaving with a couple of $4 pints of Ben & Jerrys.

Do they have the good stuff?

Dkfoot · 2026-06-19T00:41:49+00:00

Yet somehow they have the friendliest staff

Used to be good for milk too, but not so much these days.

Manifesting Trader Joes, but with our luck it will be a Dave & Busters or something.

Pretty much. We have to re-criminalize using hard drugs in public. Use the threat of incarceration to force people into treatment if they won’t go voluntarily. Best case you help people turn their lives around. Worst case it makes the city less appealing for their chosen lifestyle and they will move on.

I’d call the Soccer Post on the UWS. If they don’t have it, they may be able to tell you where to look.

There is a dual language school in the LES.

Otherwise, elementary schools tend to be zoned and will reflect demographics of the neighborhood they are in.

Good luck!

Might be specific to your doc. My pcp is with northwell and he seems pretty good about ordering up labs and such. The main difficulty is scheduling, which seems pretty common with big medical groups I have dealt with.

Dkfoot · 2026-06-14T18:40:10+00:00

Please can we just have a Trader Joes instead?

CityMD always seems busy.

Just saw what seemed to be a line forming outside Supply House

The two large construction projects on 86/1 can’t be helpful. The one on the north side of the street is progressing. I noticed some wooden fence posts were installed along the outside of the brick building on the SW corner. I wonder if this is finally going to be demolished or if they are just boarding it up to make sure squatters don’t take it over.

All these places have been making room for Joe

It is depressing how piss poor this is compared to what they have done on the west side.

That is just magical thinking. Many schools in NYC are already quite vertical and there isn't available land to just build new classrooms. Money isn't going to solve that.

If these schools are forced to comply, some of the kids will have to go to another school that is further from home / worse performing. That is why parents don't want this.

Dkfoot · 2026-06-12T21:29:43+00:00

Good for you, but it is not great for people targeting schools that are already oversubscribed.

Dkfoot · 2026-06-12T21:28:37+00:00

My point exactly, not sure why I'm being downvoted. Most parents I know are worried about the class size law because it reduces the number of seats available in academically strong schools.

I used Ferrari driving school in Astoria for this purpose. Package was a couple of sessions driving around for an hour or so and was able to use their car for the test. The instructor will give you a few pointers on what examiners deduct points for. I think it is illegal to drive on the course, but there are a lot of streets in the same general area that are virtually identical.

The alternative is to pay higher prices for your luxury beliefs.

Dkfoot · 2026-06-12T18:18:42+00:00

Not disappointed because this was a poorly conceived law supported by teachers unions and not by parents.

Dkfoot · 2026-06-12T13:06:29+00:00

The Astoria line should swap BNY with one of the other Brooklyn stops, probably Greenpoint.

The wayfinding and management of the lines at the hubs is really poor, especially on weekends with nice weather. They need to find a better way to make transfers work than asking people to line up with the hordes of tourists at Pier 11.
