Looking forward to the NY Slimes apology and investigation into the advocacy journalism they undertook and of course the support for Randi Weingarden and her collusion with the DOE.

The Times lamented the learning losses stemming from the closures after pushing for the closures during the pandemic's height.
The New York Times editorial board penned a new editorial on Saturday stating that the school closures enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic "may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education."
The editorial provided a reflection on the "significant" learning losses stemming from keeping around 50 million kids out of the classroom because of the virus, and urged elected officials and the education community to move quickly to heal some of the damage.
The paper came to these points after certain mainstream media outlets supported these same closures. Some media figures have continued arguing they were good decisions

I disagree. Many kids were out of the hands of leftist govt indoctrinators.
The godless liberal socialist takeover of public schools is the worst thing that happened to kids in education in this country.
No s#@t, Shirley!
🤬😡🤬😡🤬
True!
The non socializing has to take second, to that.
Some people believe this was all intentional.
In my area a lot of the parents did not want their children to get the shot. Some are home schooling and a lot of them are now enrolled in private schools.

Leftists destroy. From top to bottom. The “elite”’rulers on high make a decision, and it filters down to the rank and file, who so easily obey like good sheep.
Indeed. Those making the calls were certainly aware of the impacts on society; they just didn’t care.
What education are they missing? Boys might forget how to dress like girls?
What a 180 degree switch.
I wouldn’t focus on the “education” aspects.
But I think this debacle has been hugely disrupting to kids of all ages — preschoolers trying to learn language from people wearing masks, up to college students trying to finalize their steps into the wider world of adulthood (hard to do during lockdown).
And families trying to raise kids, trying to care for and say goodbye to elderly in retirement homes.
I think there has been a huge social dislocation and I blame the US government and the Medical community for every bit of it.
Hear hear.
No s#@t, Shirley!
In my opinion, it doesn’t help that the school now relies more on Chromebooks than textbooks for lessons. Textbooks are horribly expensive, get dated quickly, and wear out. I get that. But kids spend their time in school looking at a screen rather than actually reading.
Except for the actual Department of Education.
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
Thank you for this personal, on the scene, report.
God bless you for subbing! I did that, years ago (when my own kids were younger)....not sure if I could, today.
Just sickening what they’ve done....and....they KNEW this would happen.
Evil.
What astonishing hypocrisy.
Agreed. Closing the schools actually opened a window into the gulags public schools have become. Coupled with the greedy, selfish behavior of unions and total indifference to needs of working parents, support for public schools has plummeted almost as much as test scores and school enrollment. Randy Weingarten recently asked why the popularity of home schooling has risen so fast. The answer is “you” Randy.
Defund public schools NOW!
We have to burn the village to save it.
Just say “No” to the Covid/Flu Mandaters at all levels!:
Cutting through the Mist of the Managerial State!
JOHN CARTER NOVEMBER 18, 2023
Use disobedience to claw back whatever personal agency and responsibility, you can in your own life, train yourself not to take these people seriously, encourage others to do the same!
If enough people do this, eventually it will become so prohibitively expensive to manage the population that the strangling vines of this parasitic organism we call the managerial state can be hacked back to something manageable.

Of course it was intentional! They could have made different choices at every turn yet they consistently failed to do so. The teacher unions should be charged with criminal conspiracy.
