Cuomo Gives NYS K12 Green Light/Affect on Colleges and Universities

[Anonymous]

This is huge. In NY of all places, including city schools. As the virus fades, schools that have opted for online for the Fall or the year will look incredibly foolish. Many will change plans again to allow in person classes. I can hear the parental rage already. Enjoy full pay for a horrible virtual experience. Looking at you Hopkins.

More than parental rage. There will be teacher rage too. We will see how this all shakes out.

Word choice of rage and foolish is unnecessary. Yes it will interesting to follow.

It's interesting, because my daughter's college, which is in NYC, just decided last week to go mostly virtual for the fall. It surprised me, given the numbers in the city.

They want to keep the numbers low. An influx of people from all over the country or world would likely result is spikes.

New York is doing the right thing, with this decision and in handling the pandemic. I never thought they'd be ahead of the DMV in this. Hats off to them.

We suck, however.

NY is doing the same thing Virginia and Maryland did.

Are Virginia and Maryland requiring people from out-of-state to quarantine for two weeks?

It is safer to open elementary schools than high schools AMD safer to open high schools than colleges.

Cuomo is doing the right thing. They did the work and can cautiously return to normal. Not everyone can.

Right. Because of their numbers.

Do you need this explained to you?

It will be short lived if it happens in NYC at all. I bet the teachers union is going crazy.

NY had a real shut-down. We had a fake one. Big difference.

This. Their numbers are staying low because everything is still closed. Gyms, indoor dining, etc. Everyone is working from home. Once schools open up and people go back to work, it’s all over. They aren’t over this, they’re just still locked down.
