The only comfort I take in more school closings

There really is no comfort to be taken in school closings. All I can think, however, is that will leave so many, many more ATR's that it will be impossible for them to be fired -- the sheer number of people and the tactic would make the union busting of the Bloomberg administration obvious. Why they think they will get away with displacing all these people and then trying to fire them is beyond me. It's not good politics. It would show off too obviously how bad off the middle class of the city is. I don't think he can even open new schools fast enough to absorb all the kids who are going to need them -- at some point this ponzi scheme has to fall in on him. There will be no place for the kids to go. He doesn't get that this isn't like a re-org in business. The fall-out is much greater per school and per person. Eventually, there have to be whole sectors in which kids are not being served at all. I'm sure it's happening already. Someone has to find a good hard luck story -- a family with no place to send their kids in the fall which can service their kids properly. When Tilden closes, for example, there probably won't be enough high schools in the area to absorb the ELL population. This has to be happening in more places across the city.
