De Blasio’s plan for school could backfire. Photo: Noam Galai/Getty Images Teachers and principals are calling for a delay to New York City’s school year. Union leaders representing both groups have written to Mayor Bill de Blasio with questions they say the city has yet to answer. But de Blasio won’t budge. The mayor showed little patience for anxious teachers on Thursday.
If there’s bad blood between teachers and de Blasio, the events of March have something to do with it. The mayor’s much-criticized decision to delay a citywide shutdown affected teachers, too, who were expected to report to work as deaths from COVID-19 ticked steadily upward. By the time de Blasio finally closed schools on March 15, a week after Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency, the city had already become a national epicenter for the virus.
That ought to complicate de Blasio’s reopening plan — even if the mayor has the support of many parents, as he claims. According to a DOE survey, three–quarters of parents opted for a mix of in-person and virtual learning over an all-remote option. But there’s a possibility the survey overestimated the real number of parents who prefer in-person instruction. As Gothamist previously reported, children whose parents didn’t return the form were automatically registered for hybrid learning.
onesarahjones - Nurses volunteered, even traveling to NYC to help. - Doctor's were there in the thick of it. - NYC Firefighters were there in the thick of it. NYC Police were there in the thick of it... All of them serving people they didn't know! .... and the teachers are cowering in fear!
onesarahjones 'Like it or not?' It's not a disagreement or difference of opinion. They are scared for their lives and the people they live with and teach.

Bill Cosby's lawyers file appeal, ask for new sexual assault trialBill Cosby's lawyers have appealed for a new sexual assault trial, arguing that it was 'fundamentally unfair' for a judge to use his deposition from a civil lawsuit against him in 2018. There has been protests around the entire world. Why wouldn't that matter? I am watching old X-files episodes and it starts taking shape for me...1995 was possibly the worst year for any TV-entusiast. Does anyone even remember? I just don't understand why such a wealthy and famous actor would need to use such a devious method to get women to be with him. He was like a rock star. That's like something a repulsive, old, ugly, poor person would do - like Trump. I could see Trump trying that to get Melania.

John Hughes Meets 'Kill Bill:' Memories Behind 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World'As the cult hit turns ten, director Edgar Wright and stars Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza recall the intense training (push-ups with Chris Evans), the mix-ups (mistaking the director for an assistant) and the joy that went into the film. evilhag I'd love to read this article, but the full screen 'Fall Guys' ad keeps taking over, and there's no escaping from it. Ah well... evilhag I saw this movie in theaters like 4 times. Loved it then and love it more now. So so fun and very well made action-comedy. Everything about it rocks. My only small complain is that I think Scott Pilgrim should be more cute than Michael Cera honestly.. Movie still works. evilhag So what. Who cares?
