\n New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio with Schools Chancelor Carranza announce that New York City schools will open this September on a staggered schedule.<\/span>

\n Parents are rightly panning Mayor Bill de Blasio and Chancellor Richard Carranza\u2019s plan for a half-reopening of city schools come September \u2014 a vision that seems to only work for families with at least one stay-at-home adult.<\/p>\n

Unless the parents opt for pure remote-learning, the scheme has students in school on a two- and three-day rotating \u2014 possibly staggered \u2014 schedule, with online instruction the other days.<\/p>\n

This, when online \u201cclasses\u201d have been a disaster. Last week, parent and veteran city teacher Jenny Lombard ripped the \u201cabysmal\u201d quality of remote teaching at Brooklyn Tech, where her son is enrolled. In a letter to school and Department of Education officials, she outlined how her son\u2019s teachers loaded up students with assignments and homework without any actual instruction.<\/p>\n

And Tech is one of the city\u2019s top high schools, which suggests that most schools failed as badly. (Hail to those teachers who, despite the lack of support, went all-out to make online learning work.)<\/p>\n

Neither de Blasio nor Carranza has acknowledged these failures. Then again, both went along as the United Federation of Teachers told members they had no obligation to provide live teaching during the pandemic \u2014 no matter what principals said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing for the DOE to be unprepared when schools suddenly closed in March. It\u2019s another that, four months later, the DOE\u2019s remote-learning program remains of dubious quantity and quality.<\/p>\n

Plus, the new plan assumes much smaller in-school class sizes \u2014 requiring a lot of teachers. Who\u2019s left to run online classes?<\/p>\n

The mayor is making vague promises that parents won\u2019t have to stay home with kids, though it\u2019s hard to see how that will avoid the very crowding that the plan aims to keep out of the schools: The city doesn\u2019t have that much excess day-care capacity.<\/p>\n

Gov. Cuomo isn\u2019t helping: After de Blasio announced his so-called plan, the gov reiterated that no one\u2019s reopening without his OK and said the state will issue reopening guidance for local school districts next Monday \u2014 and judging the districts\u2019 plans starting Aug. 1. So it may be back to Square One for the city.<\/p>\n

One thing\u2019s clear: Working parents (especially single ones) are the last people whose needs matter to state and city leaders.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
