Now what kind of idiots would pay 32K to send their kids to school to play all day then come back and scream they aren't learning anything? Why NY liberals of course. What will they do when they flunk out of Blue School send em to clown school in the summertime?

"The Blue School is one big play date in desperate need of adult supervision.Parents are yanking their kids out of the “progressive,” $32,000 per-year private school founded by the Blue Man Group — which has no books and no tests — because their kids are barely learning to read, The Post has learned.
One mother, who is yanking her son at the end of the school year, complained that the school is “unstructured.”
“It’s true,” she said when asked if her kid was struggling to read.
In all, she added, four of her son’s first-grade classmates are leaving the Financial District institution."

“When a 6-year-old says they’re bored, there’s a problem,” the mother said. “I think they bit off more than they can chew.”

Well, not really. 6 year olds constantly complain about being bored, but I digress.

Yes it is a bit amazing that anyone would put their kids in a school run by the Blue Man Group. This is a huge WT* are they thinking.

As a defense though, I am sure that the parents were looking for something outside of the system (remember the story about kids not being able to sing a patriotic song) and were sold on a pretty picture that was never delivered.
