[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize that the NYC schools were only open for about six weeks and are now closed right?[/quote]

Thank-you.  I thought OPs post was old.  I also read that they are no closed.[/quote]

You do realize that NYC made every effort to open schools (and did!) and then sabotaged itself by setting a low barrier to closure - 3% positivity rate? Schools should be open, DiBlasio's hubris (or wishful thinking) of setting such a low metric he could not control put him in this situation.

Parents are not united here, teachers/WTU don't understand the science and most are following along like sheep.[/quote]

Parents in NYC are not united either, there is just a very vocal contingent of (mostly white, wealthy) parents agitating to open schools. Parents in poorer neighborhoods were not sending their kids to in person, largely- many schools where 70-90% of students opted for all virtual learning.[/quote]

there are definitely prominent black voices supporting school opening, like Nikole Hannah Jones and Dr Uche Blackstock.  They are still critical of the mayor and school district, but they are on the side of opening. [/quote]
