Black addressed parents and teachers at P.S. 165 in Kew Gardens Hills.

At one point she was heckled by the crowd when they felt she wasn't answering their questions.

She did manage to score some points when she told them that when it comes to laying off teachers, "last in, first out" was not the way to go.

But by the end of the night, many parents gave Black a failing grade.

"The chancellor did a horrible job. She didn't answer one question. She doesn't care about the children at all. She just cares about numbers and statistics. There's no love in her eyes, there's no love in her heart. We need a chancellor who cares about the students --just like our teachers care about our students," said parent Marc Deutscher.

"She has a lot on her plate. I think if she had better preparation it might have been better. Given that she's only been in the position for only five weeks, I can't hold that against her. But she did seem unprepared in certain respects," said parent Glenn Bell.

Other topics covered during the meeting were the looming cuts in state aid, the issue of overcrowding, and what parents felt was an overemphasis on standardized testing.
