"Education officials also made announced visits to the schools, but, they said, 15 yeshivas did not allow them inside. “The D.O.E. has made repeated attempts to gain access to the schools,” Mr. Carranza said in the letter. “The long delay in scheduling visits to this group of 15 schools is a serious concern.”
These schools at a minimum need to be denied all government funding for refusing to allow the department of education access.
To be fair some of the schools have already revised their curriculum. Others are obviously resisting.
This is a problem with religious education, in that those prioritizing religious education maybe denying children the ability to continue further academic studies or even to work outside said religious community. Which is of course what some religious leaders want.
"However, several graduates of Hasidic and other ultra-Orthodox yeshivas said in interviews Thursday that their schools focused so much on religious studies that students weren’t prepared for life outside their insular communities. They said boys got about 90 minutes of secular English and math instruction a day, with none after age 13.
Mendel Keller, who spent elementary grades at Oholei Torah in Crown Heights, one of the institutions that allegedly barred officials access, said he loved math but wasn’t taught any there. That school’s leaders didn’t respond to requests for comment, and Mr. Schick declined to address this complaint about an individual school."
The 15 schools that refused to allow education officials entry only did so after the city publically named them.
It's really interesting that city and state resources are going to schools that do not have English or Math as subjects in high school.
That article quotes graduates of these schools as saying they were poorly prepared for life outside their communities due to the lack of instruction in relevant subjects.

If it's ever exposed, this will be one of the bigger scandals in NYC with numerous politicians resigning.
You don't even understand how fraudulent these schools are. Not only if the money not going towards secular education but plenty of it is being embezzled.

So then why aren't these people being prosecuted for embezzling money?
And the so called concerned about education people about City Data conveniently mention nothing about this embezzlement.
So why are the city and the state supporting schools that are little more than criminal operations, if this is true?
And this isn't about what I know or don't know (personal stuff is irrelevant) this is really about how taxpayer funds are applied, and misuse of them affects us all.
