I teach at one of the specialized school in NYC.
Students have to take an exam to qualify for admission, so I teach some of the brightest minds in the NY city area. Our students excel at math and the sciences, which are the core courses of the school, but they do not let this limit them. We have a thriving theater community, a school magazine and paper, both of which are printed monthly! And yet we are still a public school, limited in budget. There is no limit to what these students could accomplish if they had the materials available to them! Which is why it is so sad that our school does not have money in the budget for pieces of common lab equipment. We’ve all seen an episode of CSI where the investigators use DNA samples to create pictures of DNA bands. These pictures are then matched up to evidence which can either free some prisoner or convict some suspect. Unfortunately, the supplies necessary to do these types of activities are not included in the school’s budget.
