"Why did we go to high school anyway? It didn't prepare us for anything. They made us use calculators for everything."
The boy who made this comment is a graduate of one of the schools Bloomberg is closing down. A bright kid who got no education thanks to his Principal's desire to try to keep the school afloat.

Bloomberg is practicing the slash-and-burn policy of education. If a program works, get rid of it. If a school has troubled and at-risk kids, starve it and close it. Then send the same at-risk kids to a functioning high school in a middle class neighborhood, starve that school, load it up with the at-risk kids, take away honors programs, get rid of the college office, and then watch that school deteriorate. Welcome to the outer boroughs.
