NYC public schools will be remote Tuesday due to snowstorm
New York City public schools will shift to remote learning Tuesday due to a snowstorm expected to dump up to 8 inches of snow,
He said students would participate in "synchronous learning," meaning they “will show up online with their teacher at the same time they would normally do it in school and have a regular session … much of the way it would be if they already were in school.”In recent months, the city's education department has distributed laptops and asked schools to prepare for remote learning. Schools ran a remote drill in November where families sought to log on for remote classes.
As news of the remote day reached public school parents, some said it felt too early to make the call. Others said the decision revived anxiety about children's learning challenges during the pandemic, when students attended class either partially or fully remote. “COVID took months if not years away from the education and socialization of our children,” he said at the press conference. “We need to minimize how many days kids are just sitting home making snowmen, like I did, and we need to catch up."in access to computers and the internet. Parents who do not speak English and students with disabilities also struggled with the shift.
"That’s not acceptable to me," he continued. "Our children must learn, they fell behind, we need to catch up.”
