This principal runs a school of “no.”
Students at PS 106 in Far Rockaway, Queens, have gotten no math or reading and writing books for the rigorous Common Core curriculum, whistleblowers say.
The 234 kids get no gym or art classes. Instead, they watch movies every day.
“The kids have seen more movies than Siskel and Ebert,” a source said.
The school nurse has no office equipped with a sink, refrigerator or cot.
The library is a mess: “Nothing’s in order,” said a source. “It’s a junk room.”
No substitutes are hired when a teacher is absent — students are divvied up among other classes.
A classroom that includes learning-disabled kids doesn’t have the required special-ed co-teacher.
About 40 kindergartners have no room in the three-story brick building. They sit all day in dilapidated trailers that reek of “animal urine,” a parent said; rats and squirrels noisily scamper in the walls and ceiling.
No books, no clue at city’s worst school

Principal at NYC’s worst elementary school ‘arrives at work on time for first time in 7 years’
A top school official showed up at the notorious “School of No” in Queens today to investigate shocking conditions exposed by The Post as angry parents and a city Council member demanded answers.
“Every day, my son tells me all they do is watch TV all day long. I teach him how to read, but this school has not helped him at all. All they do is yell at the kids. I ask them why they are always yelling and the teachers say they have to because the principal is so strong on them,” griped Ivelisse Lantigua, 39, whose son is a second-grader at PS 106 in Far Rockaway.
Sources said that fur-loving principal Marcella Sills has an abominable attendance record and history of uncaring and bizarre behavior.
“The PTA has problems with the principal. My wife is the vice president of the PTA. The principal, she doesn’t care. She dodges parents. She says she’s busy but then she’s just standing around, and always ready to leave,” said Jonathan Pelaez, 26, who was dropping off daughter for pre K.
