Education

Education in NYC: where public schools fight for basic supplies while private schools debate whether their third Olympic-sized pool should be indoor or outdoor. We cover the absurdities of New York’s education system, from kindergarten admissions that require more strategy than a military campaign to universities charging $80,000 per year for the privilege of eating ramen in a building without heat. Whether you’re a parent navigating the public school lottery or a student wondering why your textbook costs $400, we feel your pain. We can’t fix it, but we can definitely mock it.</p>
