[quote=Anonymous]I live in NYC and I don't think it was parents that got NYC schools. Because NYC was the epicenter of the pandemic back in March/April, I think it was a point of pride for Cuomo/De Blasio to say that NYC schools were open this fall. It was all to say "NYC is back!" But NYC had the same struggles with teachers' unions that DC had. There were tough negotations. De Blasio backed himself into a corner with the 3% number and the teachers' unions made that a deal-breaker in their negotiations. So schools had to close at 3%, even though we saw through the fall that more targeted closures of "hot spots" in the city worked better. Taking an average across the city doesn't make sense -- some areas of Staten Island are like at 8% while some areas in Manhattan are around 1%. But we all had to close when the city on average hit that 3% number. [/quote]
