Kids and families without computers have been told to contact their schools so that Laptops can be dropped off to them
And as far as teachers and teaching
I know that unions have said it’s not required that the teachers do live teaching, but I know many teachers in my building have been. That includes Gen Ed , special ed, ESL, OT, PT, speech, and counseling. Even the gym art science and library teachers have been going and recording themselves doing lessons so that the parents can access them whenever they can and if they want to
Not true. Plenty of districts do not have laptops available for students. My district, in fact.
My bad- I assumed they all did
I shouldn’t have

How many of us on this message board are research physicians? Seriously, our opinions "I think we should open" etc. are just expressions. We have absolutely no right to be demanding if we know nothing about the disease, science, immunity, slippery viruses, etc.
The purpose of the governor in a state is to carry out laws made by our state legislature, But that's just the basic summary. The governor is also responsible for delegating tasks to the different state agencies, manning the budget, and signing executive orders to advance legislation that has to be passed quickly to protect the people. He is also responsible to report the state of our state.
Why are so many of you putting so much responsibility on the governor? Because he is the spokesperson who appears at a presser every day? Whether we like him or not, he is doing his job. What is he supposed t do about domestic violence when he can't open the state? What do you want him to do that's beyond his role?
805 new cases in Suffolk yesterday. 500+ in Nassau. Does that mean we're ready to open?
I agree. While I am not in NYS, I see the same thing happening here, albeit a few weeks ahead. NO ONE knows what to do. New information is coming out every day. Sorry, but I don’t want to die from silent hypoxia. Yes, I want the economy to open up and I want to be able to work, but not at the cost of my life.
One can sit there and blame Cuomo, but at the end of the day it goes way beyond that. The health system and welfare system are in shambles over there. That goes beyond the governor.
I really hope when this is all done with, the system is reevaluated. What’s happening over in the US would not happen here. I’m a freelancer, so my situation is a bit different, but there are a lot of programs put into place for freelancers and also contract workers, so the whole country doesn’t fall. Yes, I’m in the midst of paperwork hell, but I’m getting a lot of help.
Yes, obviously our system is broken, but we don't have the same tax structure as Germany. Your country knows how to follow the rules. People just do what they're supposed to, instead of acting like know-it-all spoiled brats clamoring to open up ASAP. Why can't people just listen to the boss?
In all fairness, I have family in Italy, and they do not just sit there and listen to the boss. Many are livid that even though reopening is starting tomorrow, it is very limited. Restaurant owners are refusing to reopen unless they can be at 50% capacity, and I believe right now the rule is 25%. Some restaurants are still only limited to takeout. There have been protests in Italy to open schools and businesses.
Our lock down was never as strict as it was in Europe, they have been unable to even leave the house to get fresh air. Sometimes I think we should have done a drastic lock down in the beginning, and perhaps it would have been shorter. Of course the numbers aren't going down fast enough- people are still allowed to pack like sardines into the subway, and fill parks with no consequences.
As far as listening to the boss and do as we are told- nobody should ever sit there and never question the government. Like us all, they are fallible human beings, who like us, don't always make the right choices or use the best judgement. All countries question their government- except maybe China because they are afraid of getting killed or thrown in jail if they do.

Yes I'm one of those people that think that if I am teaching my kids and we don't have school, then of course I shouldn't pay school taxes. For what?
And if school districts are simply posting links online to worksheets and videos that I have to teach and administer, then I at least want LOWER school taxes.
Because your taxes go to so much more than teacher's salaries. And as a parent, you aren't reinventing the wheel to make sure you're sticking to the standards while the virus disrupted life as we all know it.
6 figures means between 100,000 and 200,000 Big range. Not everyone makes 6 figures.
Our salaries are public, and they're based on a fiscal year rather than a calendar of 12 months. We get paid for 10 months of work. Some districts allow you to stretch their payroll calendar to take less per paycheck throughout the school year but to stretch out a payment over the summer.
Teachers earn more if they spend $ to take college courses above their masters degree. If you pay college tuition, you know how much this costs. Truth is, some of us can't afford to take these courses because they're expensive, and while they do increase your knowledge and experience, they don't always warrant the slight jump in salary because you need to take 15-30 credits before seeing one increase in payment.
We don't stand in front of a classroom and talk at children. That's not teaching anymore (in some parochial schools it is) We are constantly subjected to new demands to keep up with state regulations. We go above and beyond to differentiate our teaching to incorporate every learner. We set up our classrooms to make each learner achieve their best out of our own pocket. Imagine having to supply your own office with supplies paid out of your own pocket! Imagine having to re-formulate your whole job and scramble for resources to adapt to online learning. All of our cute little community collaboration and student-centered lessons go out the window. Now, we have to figure out how to teach children to learn far away from each other on a cold computer with no human touch.
This situation sucks bigtime. We know so many parents have to work while guiding their children at home. We are understanding and flexible. We are anguished that we can't see our children ever again. The pain of knowing that the classroom is a memorial frozen in time is crushing. We aren't in this for the money. When people complain that they shouldn't pay school taxes to support our salaries is hurtful. Teachers are the lifeblood of a child's achievements. Although the format is different, the result has to be the same.
This isn't meant to add anything to the discussion, but just pointing out that your comment about teachers not being able to boost their salaries because college credits are expensive is somewhat misleading. In many districts there are ways around the salary differential like CLEP exams in exchange for credits and many will accept credits in a non-related field as well like art or photography. To say there aren't and a teacher can only increase their salary differential and reach the max laid out in their contract by giving up their nights, weekends, and summers to sit in an expensive college classroom for a full semester is a bit misleading to the public. This of course depends on the district.
Back to the discussion, we already know kids with special needs aren't getting the help they need. What about the ELL population? What are kids whose parents don't speak English currently doing? How are they faring? As a non-native English speaker I can confidently say had this happened when I was a kid I would've been screwed. How about kids who don't have a computer? Are they all just shit out of luck while their classmates move on?
You're right. Depending on the district, you may earn credits above your degree fro non-university programs, however, not all of them. I've worked in 2-3 districts (in different capacities) and one only allowed 3 credits per year maximum from in-service programs. I didn't mean to be misleading, I am sorry.

So back to the OP— what is your suggestion? No one has any clue really. One thing that seems to be happening is that countries open up and rates rise.
Hospitals are not even close to capacity here on Long Island anymore. They actually need to start opening things up to let more people be exposed so that we can gradually let the virus run it's course. I don't think that we have time to wait for a vaccine or even a completely effective treatment. Our entire economy is on the verge of collapse and people seem to be forgetting that. Schools are a necessary component to our economy - it's not just a convenience for parents to get some free time.
As I stated before I don't think they could have reopened schools for this academic year but they don't even seem to be working on a plan for Sept. Cuomo blows that question off as if Sept is so far away. It's only 4 months away. That's not a whole lot of time to get a plan in place to effectively open schools.
Agreed. Yes, infection rates will rise. People will get the virus. And most will survive. I still can't believe that we have all of a sudden decided that not one person can ever get sick, and if it takes locking up the other 330 million to achieve that, then so be it. This is bizarre to me.
Completely agree. We shut down to flatten the curve and spare hospitals from being overrun. Now people want to stay shut down to prevent anyone, anywhere from ever getting sick. It won’t work.

Look, I don't mind questioning the government officials. liEspecially this administration but I feel that the protests and people screaming about their rights are a bit much. If they tell you to wear a mask, people should just wear a mask. etc

Yeah, it wasn’t that strict here. We were still allowed to go to some parks and some of them got crowded. But you weren’t allowed to go out with someone unless they were a member of your household. And all large gatherings are cancelled until August 31st. However, weddings and funerals will be allowed this week (not sure how many people, though).
I agree, the protests are a bit much, especially the way I have seen some of them treating nurses. And I understand why they are protesting, but I’m just not at that point yet.

What is your suggestion
I think the only reasonable option would be a stratified quarantine and then a slow, cautious re opening similar to what Texas is doing.

I agree with this tenfold, but SO many don't. It's so weird to me!
And many people that work in the hospital disagree, at least as per FB in my community group. They say the hospitals they work in are still overrun, they still have no proper PPE and they have patients around the clock. According to the stats, they aren't overrun. But, I don't know why the staff is saying otherwise?

Not the staff that I am talking to. They say the opposite.
Someone on my block is an ICU nurse in a LI hospital. She also says the opposite, that it is so much better than it was in late March-mid April. She said that was the worst, but a turn started just after Easter. I guess it depends on the hospital.

So back to the OP— what is your suggestion? No one has any clue really. One thing that seems to be happening is that countries open up and rates rise.
Hospitals are not even close to capacity here on Long Island anymore. They actually need to start opening things up to let more people be exposed so that we can gradually let the virus run it's course. I don't think that we have time to wait for a vaccine or even a completely effective treatment. Our entire economy is on the verge of collapse and people seem to be forgetting that. Schools are a necessary component to our economy - it's not just a convenience for parents to get some free time.
As I stated before I don't think they could have reopened schools for this academic year but they don't even seem to be working on a plan for Sept. Cuomo blows that question off as if Sept is so far away. It's only 4 months away. That's not a whole lot of time to get a plan in place to effectively open schools.
Agreed. Yes, infection rates will rise. People will get the virus. And most will survive. I still can't believe that we have all of a sudden decided that not one person can ever get sick, and if it takes locking up the other 330 million to achieve that, then so be it. This is bizarre to me.
Completely agree. We shut down to flatten the curve and spare hospitals from being overrun. Now people want to stay shut down to prevent anyone, anywhere from ever getting sick. It won’t work.
Yes, agree with this.
I agree with this tenfold, but SO many don't. It's so weird to me!
And many people that work in the hospital disagree, at least as per FB in my community group. They say the hospitals they work in are still overrun, they still have no proper PPE and they have patients around the clock. According to the stats, they aren't overrun. But, I don't know why the staff is saying otherwise?

I have friends who work in hospitals in the city and LI. They all say it has gotten much, much better.
