Now —how can DeBlasio/Carranza ever be trusted any more—about any of their safety plans—as they are making fools of themselves.. Even Eva Moskowitz told DeBlasio —I’m not sending my people back into the buildings till after Thanksgiving. In conclusion—schools won’t be ready —even on October 1 —due to lack of in person staff and safety concerns. Also, more parents will consider keeping their kids home—due solely to the mixed messaging of DeBlasio—who will continue to say—that schools must open—but in reality—they are still not safe yet.
"This is the leadership you need to see more often across this country," claims @uft's Michael Mulgrew.
Somehow city leaders should be commended for putting hundreds of thousands of parents through whiplash by sewing confusion and repeatedly delaying in-person learning.
Remember, through all of this, uft has done nothing. Staff has gone in for 2 weeks to be on a computer. Kids still on Monday. Tests still slow. Thermometer not working. Buildings still unsafe. People still protesting. Dues well spent. Scans are smart. Uft has been valueless. Mulgrew talks, no action as people are getting infected daily.
Susan Edelman @SusanBEdelman As more tests confirm positive Covid cases, why do NYC teachers providing remote instruction have to congregate and work in school buildings?
UFT All UFT members with in-person assignments will continue to report to school buildings next week even if they initially are providing remote instruction or services.
Does anyone have details on no layoffs? If it is real, on paper, that is a massive win, as long as the City stays solvent. I know many here worry about health while travelling and in the building - but certainly no job and no health insurance is bad for anyone's health.
I completed online new student orientation yesterday for one group and was in the midst of conducting the orientation for my second group when comrade bill was making the announcement. There is absolutely no consideration given to schools nor to the parents who had already made child care plans so they can go back to work.
Why are we, NYC taxpayers, putting up with DeBlasio and Carranza? Why are we NYC DOE teachers putting up with Mulgrew? In reality, we are all wimps.
Everyone involved with the NYC DOE knows the schools are not ready to open; more due to logistics than the pandemic. This has all been another costly charade by DeBlasio and Carranza. There is so much the UFT could have done and could be doing. I just forget the UFT exists. I just consider the $1600 I donate to the UFT another NYC tax.
I do think this mess will lead New Yorkers to lean toward and eventually institute some kind of voucher system. This will save NYC billions.

ReplyDeleteMulgrew sits there with him like this is some sort of great deal.
ReplyDeleteThis solves nothing.
ReplyDeleteGo full remote.
Let the teachers work from home.
It's not hard.

ReplyDeleteAnd taechers must still report next week...
I wouldn’t trust my Siamese cat with the DOE or UFT. A parent would have to be desperate and or oblivious to send their kids to a NYC public school.

ReplyDeleteIs it me or does it seem that Carranza and DeB are incompetent?
ReplyDeleteNy1 reports will cost 325 million per week to reopen schools... I think schools will go remote
ReplyDeleteTOLD YOU SOOOO!
ReplyDelete@4:15 - it is NOT just you. But I'm sure it was a rhetorical question.
ReplyDelete11:46 - I think that's nonsense. We got no layoffs as of October 1 - there are no guarantees after that. Mulgrew is in face-saving mode.
ReplyDelete@11:34 - Security told me I had a temperature of 90 - which by definition is considered a life-threatening emergency.
