Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York Citys schools would continue with remote learning through the rest of the school year.

Really how much were they going to learn anyway.
You’ll learn more just watching old Schoolhouse Rock videos.

All schools and businesses must be closed forever!
Students will probably learn more out of school than they would going to NYC schools rest of year.
Close the government schools permanently. Remote learning, combined with day care and proctoring should be all that’s needed.
And the crayons and construction paper lays dormant, grades4 thru 12. And this is no joke
That’s a good thing. Right?
The students will learn with remote learning if parents are invested but many cultures dont value education equally and teachers will start looking for other careers soon.
Many young brains will not get washed in the coming months.
How are they going to learn to put on condoms?
Parents may actually learn something too. Like what their children are being taught.
Kids will be smarter because of it.
Right?
Of course, Im being facetious.
“remote learning” for NYC public schools....
Kid: “Hey, I already learned to use my remote when I was a toddler.”
Mom and Dad: “You get an A, then. We’re so proud.”
Closing skools wont make any difference. New Yorkers are born knowing everything because they live in the city Just ask one.
And knowledge and literacy improve!
They need that to prepare for college. "Make a collage of bad things you know about Trump. Be free to express your feelings through art."
Funny but true. Many there think the world outside their area is a sort of tacky rumor of Deplorables, outside toilets and Trump voters. Icky, icky.
How about this.
Cancel schooling as we know it completely.
Have all students learn from home. One instructor can teach 1000’s of students at once. Get rid of the school buildings. Renovate and turn them into living/retail space. Get rid of 95% of the teachers since the internet allows for a huge reduction in the number needed.
With all the $ saved sitters/Nannies for the younger kids can be paid for while Mom and Dad go off to work.
My idea needs work but it is a way around having to send kids to what amount to in many cases failing public schools.
Private schools would still be allowed.
