Thanks to the technological advances of these past few years and the relative affordability of gadgets, many students are bringing tech-toys with them to school and recording the eight hours of hell they are subjected to in New York City public high schools. A few months back, Brooklyn’s John Dewey High was in the news because of an incident involving weapons. A few days later, internet searches for John Dewey turned up disturbing videos of students ganging up on each other with no security in sight. A far cry from our days in Brooklyn High!

Here we present you with some raw footage of high school ‘education’ for the other half. We intend to keep reporting on the despicable conditions of high schools in all the five boroughs of New York, so stay tuned as we investigate this matter as far as we can.
