Call for Resignation of Mineola Superintendent
Author's summary: Parents and students demand superintendent's resignation.
Hundreds of Mineola parents and students have spoken out against or signed a petition calling for the resignation of Michael Nagler, the district's superintendent. This comes after an educational video program he created with his son, James, called Build Your Own Grade, failed and sparked heavy backlash from the community.
The BYOG program, which was terminated on October 10, was operating under the Naglers' company Quave. It asked eighth-graders to learn almost entirely on iPads through videos and online tasks in their English, math, science, and social studies classes.
- The program made learning difficult, stressful, and ineffective, according to students and parents.
- Teachers were reportedly barred from directly answering the majority of student questions.
A petition against the program garnered over 600 signatures.
