It's you teachers that work so hard that should be complaining about the useless ATR pool. We all should have full assignments, but the doe doesn't want that. Until then all this inequity is going to exist. Don't forget, most ATRs are on the high end of the pay scale too.

"We believe the schools in NYC absolutely should be closed when it hits the 9% number according to the state number."<br /><br />This is all the more complicated because we've already hit 9% based on the city's data, but we haven't based on the state data. "The fact that there's two sets of numbers out there is what drives everybody nuts," Mulgrew said. "It gives nobody any confidence whatsoever."<br /><br />ANYWAY nothing I heard from @NYCMayor this a.m. seemed to indicate any desire to close schools even as the positivity rate is on the rise. I asked Mulgrew what he'd be doing to get the mayor to close if we hit 9% by state's count, he says he'll be pushing very hard.

They say restaurants should close earlier, blah blah blah. <br />I see many people that don't, walking into grocery stores, restaurants, all maskless. It isn't being enforced. <br />I see restaurants open til past the curfew.<br />In actuality, the measures against COVID-19 aren't being taken as serious as they should. And I'm sure if more people did follow the measures, we would enjoy lower cases. But I see a lot of people in NYC not following the measures.<br />Place of worships with people without masks and really overcrowded.<br />Weddings and baby showers at restaurants also occurring in NYC.<br /><br />Florida is seeing a surge in cases as well so the no mask approach and no restriction approach isn't working. <br /><br />California has strict measures, but I'm sure it is like NYC where there is a large amount of people disregarding them.<br /><br />Keep in mind that Florida, New York, Texas, and California are states with large populations and many congested cities. We can't take the same approach as Alaska or Ohio or any other states with a sparse population. We can't compare to those states and the methods we take to approach COVID can't be the same either.<br /><br />At the end of the day, if we want to bring COVID down, it is on us. Government put place the measures, it is on us people to follow them. If we don't, we'll keep seeing surges, as simple as that. <br /><br />But know that there are young people dying from this, there are teens dying from this, there are kids dying from this. Sure, likelihood of high risk is for older populations. But plenty of cases of younger populations dying of COVID too. <br /><br />About a quarter of the world's cases are in the USA. Sad thing when the supposed best country in the world with the best resources leads the world in COVID cases. Maybe we're not the best after all which is sad because I'd like to think that we are.<br /><br />COVID isn't going to knock on your door and say "Hey buddy, I'll spare you because you're young" or "I'll kill you because you're old." It does what it does and only after the fact do we know how bad it affected someone.<br /><br />Stay safe everyone. And take care of your health. Times are tough now, but if you get sick, hurt, dead - it is going to be so much tougher for your loved ones. But if you make it through healthy and in one piece, the future will be bright because you and your loved ones make it through this health crisis. <br /><br />Keep hope, do your best, love, respect, and be kind to everyone. We can get through this so much better if we keep a positive attitude and take precautions to be safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-59957404896600540552021-01-04T14:23:31.297-05:002021-01-04T14:23:31.297-05:00@1:41, I hear Mulgrew is in the West Indies (serio...@1:41, I hear Mulgrew is in the West Indies (seriously).

I know elementary school teachers are definitely concerned about your disappearance!!<br />I am writing to you for a second time with even more frustration and disgust. <br />I won't even talk about the numbers rising.<br />I wanted to inform you, around 10pm last night my colleague saw our school closed on DOE website due to covid cases. Nobody knew. Uft rep was texted. He didn't know. He called administrators, they supposedly didn't know. At almost midnight when I got an email from my principal, I couldn't believe the inadequacy and stupidity of the DOE's ineffective system. <br />Once again the DOE is a shit show. Shame on them for not informing staff and parents properly. For hundreds of schools to be closed and the mayor continues to say day after day schools are safe. The only city that goes by f-ing zipcode in a pandemic that spreads. The only city that has ignored and handled every decision with stupidity and recklessness. I won't be surprised if more parents opt their kids out this week. <br />Two of my sweetest and most hardworking students walked to school this morning and the door was locked because families weren't notified. Our chancellor, mayor and the DOE is embarrassing and disgraceful. <br />Why are you not helping us?
