“#NYC’s public school system is barely even pretending to teach<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Nearly two months into the school year, city teachers are no longer pretending kids will learn much this year \u2014 with some even doing other things besides teaching during online classes.<\/p>\n

As The Post\u2019s Susan Edelman reports, one student at Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn says his teacher, Nyeesha Archer, gave her algebra lesson from a car. \u201cHow much of a lesson could it be?\u201d he wondered. A month ago, another \u201ctaught\u201d from a hammock, while interacting with his kids at the same time.<\/p>\n

The teacher \u201cprobably figured half the class was sleeping anyway. That\u2019s the thing about online school. Half the kids in the class are playing video game<\/a>s or asleep,\u201d the high schooler said.<\/p>\n

And why not? Under the Department of Education\u2019s new \u201cgrading\u201d system, no one can fail, no matter how little effort they make, as Karol Markowicz noted in Monday\u2019s Post. Elementary school kids will get an \u201cN\u201d (needs improvement) and middle and high school kids an \u201cNX\u201d (course in progress) instead of a failing grade.<\/p>\n

That makes it harder to evaluate teachers as well as kids. And while DOE spokeswoman Danielle Filson says teachers who don\u2019t do their jobs are \u201csubject to discipline,\u201d the consequences all too often range from slaps on the wrist to nothing at all.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, city and state \u201ceducrats\u201d have been moving at light speed to scrap other tools for seeing how much education is happ<\/a>ening: They scrapped the January Regents exam, for instance. And, as The Post\u2019s Selim Algar reports, the DOE is directing schools to consider factors besides grades (\u201cequity,\u201d \u201cmotivation\u201d) to calculate class rank.<\/p>\n

In short, you\u2019ll be told the school year\u2019s a success even if teachers are checked out \u2014 and kids routinely absent.<\/p>\n

As Edelman reported last month, DOE officials briefly posted attendance data, then quickly yanked it, so who knows how many kids are in class? (The data put online-learning attendance at at least one school at as low as 18 percent.)<\/p>\n

The pandemic is exposing the true priorities of the adults who control the public school system \u2014 and educating children is at the very bottom of the list.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
