@NYCMayor@GovKathyHochul No. Mayoral control of schools ensures nothing but your political agendas and already inflated ego. You are simply not qualified, intelligent, or empathetic enough to make decisions about OUR schools. Stay in your swagger lane.
@DrSFJ 100%. He will pop his head out of the sand when it’s conveniently an “easy” time for him to ATTEMPT to be governor. Let’s hope he gets addicted to golf or bingo first
@UFT Yup. It’s BEEN time and WE have been talking about this since the summer when you all had your head in the sand. Now we have more infected kids AND students who have lost weeks of lessons.
THIS. So long as they have personal and/or political agendas to fulfill (big and small), the #keepschoolsopen crowd will conveniently keep projecting this “kids are suffering” without in person school.
@SusanBEdelman@NYCMayor He can say this all day but the attendance rate is abysmally low. He needs to stop bloviating and start listening to parents, students and teachers. (And btw calling them “my” is not at all endearing)
@reemadamin Any teacher can teach remote starting TOMORROW. Google classrooms are set up. We did this for a year and a half while @NYCMayor was in swagger class.
@DOEChancellor@DOEChancellor you already have student leaders. They’re called “Chancellor’s Student Advisory Council”. Why do I get the strange feeling students are about to be pitted against their parents? I’m sorry, but after the past 11 days of gaslighting parents, I don’t trust the offer.
Just got an email from our daughters teacher in NYC that she’s home tested positive but - because no symptoms since Thurs - she’s mandated to teach tomorrow. Yes, we’re literally forcing Covid positive teachers into class (our kiddo staying home obvs). This is nuts.
@JessicaZilo@Dianne4NYC Yet kids/teens spend a lot of time in front of screens communicating, working, sharing art, etc. Technology is a tool, and a GOOD teacher can effectively teach a class through Zoom, just as a bad teacher can negatively impact a child’s entire year in person. Nuances matter
