More Big App<\/a>le parents have sued for a return to full-time, in-person classes in city schools \u2014 arguing that the future of an entire generation of kids will be put at risk as they fall behind in their education, new court papers show.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court Tuesday by 22 parents against the city Department of Education, new DOE Chancellor Meisha Ross Porter, and Mayor Bill de Blasio, seeking an immedia<\/a>te return to in-person classes for their kids.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s \u201carbitrary and capricious actions put at risk the futures of an entire generation of New York City children and have long term implications for economic stability in the city,\u201d the court papers allege.<\/p>\n

In October, a group of parents also filed suit in Staten Island to force the reopening of public schools. That case is still pending.<\/p>\n

The new suit claims that the current arrangement in city schools of partial in-person and partial remote learning for some kids, while others are fully remote, \u201cdoes not amount to a sound, basic education for children,\u201d in violation of their state constitutional rights, the court documents claim.<\/p>\n

The parents believe that going back to school full-time will not risk an increase in the spread of COVID-19 \u2014 and claim there isn\u2019t any data that says otherwise, the court filing says.<\/p>\n

The suit also cited a French scientific study<\/a> that found that students with COVID-19 didn\u2019t spread the virus to other pupils, teachers or staff, the court papers show. The suit also cited a German study that found similar results.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren are unknowingly left behind with remote learning,\u201d the court papers allege. \u201cThere is a reduced performance in both curriculum based assessments and skilled based assessments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teachers must return to the classroom to help the children who have rapidly regressed, academically and mentally,\u201d said James Mermigis, a lawyer representing the parents. \u201cThe children need their teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n

City Hall spokesperson Avery Cohen told The Post by email, \u201cWe have more students in classrooms than any other city in America, and all of our schools are open for in-person learning, with the majority offering in-person learning five days a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that New York City has set the reopening gold standard for districts across the country, and we will review this suit when it\u2019s filed.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
