To the teachers who are really struggling, don’t make long term decisions based on short term chaos. There will soon come a thank you pencil in your mailbox from your principal.
The UFT made it clear over the summer that biweekly testing was insufficient. The first week of school, including photos of students packed into crowded hallways and cafeterias, only strengthens the argument for more testing.
@dyro874@FranDeMario2@NYCMayor@nypmetro What are the NY politics that make this possible? That is the real question. Who/What is pulling him in that disgusting direction. He will do the thing that helps himself only.
@KSP_PT @NYCMayor @NYCFirstLady Same!!! I’m a school counselor and sole caretaker of my 74 yr old mother, who lives alone!!! This is insanity! #CLOSENYCPUBLICSCHOOLS
@NYCMayor When I get coronavirus I am blaming you. My school has small classrooms and kids are ON TOP OF EACH OTHER in cramped quarters. All of the guidelines you put forward for NYC residents to follow we absolutely can’t as teachers and students. Thanks for putting us AND NYC at risk.
@NYCMayor you’re treating educators like baby-sitters. you’re compromising their health, the health of students and their families. incredibly disappointed your administration is showing such disregard for educators.
someone please tell me why every other state with low ass confirmed cases closed their schools but the state with the highest has their schools opened? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE PLS.. MAYOR DE BLASIO IS A JOKE
No crowds over 500! Social distancing! Avoid mass transit! Stay away from people! Limit travel! Bill de Blasio: Schools are open! #CLOSENYCPUBLICSCHOOLS
Listening to De Blasio now talking about why he's not closing schools—because kids get restless at home and he wants parents working. This is complete fucking madness. De Blasio is sleazy, but he's supposed to be one of the saner "progressive" ones. Our leaders are afraid to act
