Amid big questions about whether schools are ready to open Sept. 10th, @NYCMayor showing a slick video promising that schools will have what they need to open. Meanwhile, principals say they have no clue how much PPE they'll get or when it will arrive.
"Whatever our schools need, they're going to have. We're going to send them the supplies in bulk before school begins and then re-stock as needed," @NYCMayor says.
(This is without even touching on the fact that schools say outside of safety concerns, they have no clue how they're actually going to have the number of teachers they need to staff classrooms)
. @NYCMayor brushing off @katie_honan asking THE question -- who will teach kids, whether they're all remote or blended -- on the days they're remote. Mayor insisting schools are going to make it work... but they can't clone teachers! What is the actual answer to this question?!
(The answer is, per many principals/assistant principals/etc I have spoken to is: there is no answer yet.)
How can principals & teachers to create a blended learning curriculum & be trained in implementing it by Sept 10th if we don't know who is teaching the kids on remote days?
