I was listening to DiBasio today and he was adament he did not want to close the schools as he believes the kids would be on the streets.
He really isn’t thinking straight...finally turned him off.
He is both right and wrong.
Schools should be closed—there is definitive evidence that this serves to reduce transmission of communicable diseases.
But, DeBlasio is probably rightly concerned about hordes of unattended kids roaming the streets of NYC. The public schools function to warehouse them for most of the day.
In two weeks the only thing DiBlasio will be adamant about will be escaping the city before the locals.....
(feel free to complete the sentence as you wish... :-) )
He is right about the kids being on the streets. It will be too much for the police and order could break down. He knows his city, I’ll give him that.
He does kind of have a point. City schools are more day care than anything. Close the schools and we’ll see a whole lot of news about “a group of teens” did this or did that
