\n The size of remote classes at some schools has swelled to eye-popping proportions \u2014 up to 124 in an Upper West Side middle school.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unconscionable,\u201d said Leonie Haimson, executive director of Class Size Matters, of the mass groupings. \u201cThere\u2019s no way children can develop a real relationship with their teachers, stay engaged and get near enough feedback to receive an adequate education.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Mott Hall II on West 109th Street, all students in each of 6th to 8th grades \u2014 whether social<\/a>ly distant inside the school or logged on at home \u2014 are set to attend live-streamed classes together in one huge group.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole 7th grade will be in the same Google meet,\u201d said Jennifer Roesch, whose 11-year-old son, Dylan, will be learning remotely. \u201cWe\u2019re all doing the same thing at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each class will have just one general<\/a>-ed subject teacher and one special-ed teacher, Roesch told The Post.<\/p>\n

The 7th-grade schedule includes seven 40-minute periods, from 8:20 am to 1:49 pm. The back-to-back classes \u2014 with no break for lunch, which is eaten during instruction \u2014 include English, math, social studies, science<\/a>, Latin, and one period alternating between technology<\/a>, music, art, phys-ed and study hall. The last period is homeroom.<\/p>\n

Each period will start with a 20-minute lesson live-streamed to all. The teacher will speak into a camera, broadcasting to both the 8 to 9 students sitting in the same classroom all day, and the rest at home, Roesch learned.<\/p>\n

That will be followed by 20 minutes for independent work, small group discussions and extra help for kids who need it.<\/p>\n

But Roesch doubts her son will get much individual attention because he tends not to pipe up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not asking for help, you could just slip through the cracks,\u201d she said, adding that kids who don\u2019t complete an assignment in that 20 minutes have to finish it as homework.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more than 100 students competing, my concern is that the high achievers can fly through the work and get a break, where a child who is struggling can\u2019t get help.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stressed, \u201cI do not blame the principal or the teachers, who are doing the best they can. I blame the mayor and the chancellor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roesch was stunned when she confirmed the schedule with Principal Merlon Lowe, but believes he came up with the most equitable plan given the school\u2019s staffing. Mayor de Blasio announced last week that students in blended learning \u2014 a mix of in-person and remote \u2014 would not be guaranteed any live instruction. But Mott Hall II\u2019s students will get it.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery student at Mott Hall will have five days of rigorous, live instruction every day in every subject,\u201d said DOE spokeswoman Danielle Filson. Principal Marlon Lowe did not answer a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Haimson, of Class Size Matters, has sounded the alarm on an agreement between the city Department of Education and the teachers\u2019 union that permits remote classes to increase in size to 64 in elementary school and 68 in high school.<\/p>\n

Under the same agreement, the DOE instructed schools to assign different teachers for in-person and remote classes.<\/p>\n

But the principals\u2019 union argued the deal multiplied the number of teachers needed, creating a 10,000 citywide shortage.<\/p>\n

That outcry led the mayor and Chancellor Richard Carranza to delay the school reopening for the second time \u2014 to Sept. 29 for K-5 and K-8 schools, and Oct. 1 for middle and high schools. Only 3-K, pre-K and special-ed District 75 classes are set to start in-person Monday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, De Blasio and Carranza said they\u2019re aiming to adding 4,500 teachers, including 2,000 non-classroom staffers with teaching licenses, plus 2,500 substitutes and grad students.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Roesch, who is working toward a master\u2019s degree in education, received a written invitation to work as a sub last week. She won\u2019t sign up, she said, because she is staying home with Dylan while his father works 12-hour shifts as a pediatric ER nurse in The Bronx.<\/p>\n

Calling it \u201cthe cherry on top,\u201d Roesch said, parents were informed yesterday that Mott Hall II had its first Covid case, a teacher who tested positive. An unspecified number of exposed teachers who worked in the building last week now have to quarantine for 14 days.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
