We have touched on ACS and the Public Schools in New York City many times. In this post we will go a little deeper. To begin with, both are large multi-billion dollar agencies that are trusted with our children. Both are highly dysfunctional and both are often criticized in the media. Both have highly paid and ineffective administrators who are in charge of their own little fiefdoms and they protect it at all costs. DOE has one huge advantage over ACS. As soon as school officials see a problem child they quickly call ACS on the parent. Why? It is very simple. By opening an ACS case against the parents , the school has gotten itself off of the hook. So instead of trying to teach children and providing the education that they have a right to, the DOE protects their turf and attacks the parent. Remember the most important thing to ACS and DOE is to keep the funding coming in and keep their inflated salaries and power. Many officials in the DOE and ACS would have a very difficult time trying to find work in the private sector. We have had many cases where the DOE calls ACS because the parents have complained about how the school is treating the child.
Once an ACS case is started, the DOE will often team up with ACS to attack the parent. In one case we had, the child's teacher did not appear at a meeting about the child's educational plan, but did attend Family Court to testify against the parents. This is proof of what these two agencies really value. So, as the new school year opens, be vigilant and protect your rights as parents. FIGHTACS.COM
