That’s an issue for everyone. None of these reasons are unique to NYC |

I am a NYCDOE teacher. I understand the grave issues with closing the schools but it is now past time to do so. The teachers union has advocated for it, the principals union, the city council speaker and basically all other elected nyc officials.
True- many kids rely on school for food and shelter. We have 100k students who are homeless. The city will struggle to function with the closure. But it is medically necessary. They have already had multiple cases in schools and they close for a day to “clean” and reopen. The DOE is claiming they are deep cleaning classrooms. For the majority of schools this is a lie. My room hasn’t been mopped in months. No one has cleaned my desks since this started (I have Clorox wipes that I have used). The deep cleaning is an utter lie.’I am so frustrated and feel demoralized. I do think they will finally close this week. |
