I really hope that someone can explain how this makes sense
DeBlasio announced this morning that, many NYC parents have expressed concern over the only 2 day a week in person learning- because they have to work. Fine, I TOTALLY understand that. So, the solution? They are looking for ANYPLACE to stuff these kids on their remote days. Libraries, vacant office buildings, closed down Catholic schools, literally wherever. HOW, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IS THAT SAFER? They are going to spend three days a week in these random office buildings with all these different kids? As opposed to spending M-F with the same kids, in the same building, with the same adult? I just really do not understand this logic. I understand the social distancing, and smaller class sizes. I understand that most public school classrooms do not allow that due to class size.
I know there is no easy answer, but I just see this being a horrible, chaotic situation.

Because if that's the case the liability is then on the parents if they choose to send their kid somewhere else on remote learning days. The parents could choose to keep the kid home, with family, etc.
I really don't see schools in Long Island open full time come September. I thought it would be 50/50 back in June before the south started spiking. Now, no chance in hell they will be open.
Get ready for remote learning people.

I don't think any schools will be open full time come September. 2-3 days a week in person, at best. I also anticipate another full shutdown if cases spike, like they predict, come late fall.

Re: I really hope that someone can explain how this makes sense
Schools are required to educate the kids and that’s all they are going to do. They aren’t going to take responsibility for the childcare component that we usually get during the normal course of school. It’s not what we all hope for and want, but they aren’t going to sort this out for us. They are going to do what they are required to do and no more.

But my point is NYC is trying to arrange child care for the days children aren't assigned to be in school, it will be available to all children PreK through 8th grade. I just don't see that working.

I don't think it's safer and I also don't think it's going to solve the childcare problem for those who work as I am sure there is a cost associated with it.

If they find other buildings to use, they can social distance the children. Just like any daycare would be doing now. The school can not utilize those spaces for teaching as they will never have enough staff to cover the split classes. On the days off it is up to the parents to deem what they consider safe. I think The City is just offering up options. I fully think school, at least in some districts, will be full time at least for elementary students. I know that our district has small enough class sizes and big enough classrooms to social distance correctly. That being said, I give it one month until they are full distance learning because once a child/teacher gets sick with contact tracing half the school will be out on quarantine.

I was wondering if it's just my kids daycare, but I'm pretty sure most day cares aren't 100% distancing the kids. I've asked other moms all over LI if they are keeping the kids apart at their daycare and the answer was pretty much unanimous that they aren't. The kids do group activities and use the playgrounds together. There is no maintaining 6ft at all times. The exception is when they setup nap time (the beds are 6ft apart) and when they read, they put them 6ft apart, but for the rest of the day, nope. It's been this way for months. No masks except for staff. They are complying with the law and the amount of cases has been low. So I don't understand how everyone says it's impossible to open schools without seeing a crazy increase of cases. Why can't they just open the schools using the same guidelines? It's been working for daycares since this whole thing started.

I think that is really unfortunate. They are suppose to be following the CDC guidelines. I really do not have any personal experience with daycares except for the one our school had to open for essential workers which I know are following the guidelines.

The state guidelines say they must wear masks when not social distanced in school. I think most schools assume they need to keep the desks apart so the kids can work at desks without masks on. I know summer school has different guidelines and I assume daycares have their own guidelines as well.

It's not safer. But, some parents do not have the option of being able to keep their children home on off days. He is offering an alternative if you NEED someone to watch your child. there aren't enough teachers to have every child in NYC in a 10 kid class 5 days a week. Just like he offered day care during the lock down to essential workers who couldn't stay home. Those who needed it, took advantage. It was easier then, because so many people were out of work or working from home. But, businesses are not going to allow everyone to continue to work from home, and people need to work.
I am NOT being snarky- are you in NYC schools? Are you a parent who needs to have your children in school/daycare full time?

I don't see how it's unfortunate. They are following the law. They wouldn't have any violations if the state came in and inspected. Obviously they are doing something right as they haven't seen an increase in cases that has traced back to daycares. I have no experience with the pop up day cares that they opened in the schools. I'm talking about daycare centers that are run for profit. They do temp checks when the kids arrive, the staff wears masks and they send the staff for regular testing. I know they also increased hand washing for the kids. It obviously works. So I just don't see why the procedures they are following wouldn't work for schools.

Re: I really hope that someone can explain how this makes sense
this has been my question all along. So they cant be together in school but aftercare/daycare they can!!
makes 0 sense but you know what I am just over it.
they are going to do what they want even if it doesnt seem to make any sense to most.
kids are going to get screwed this school year and I feel terrible for them.
Hopefully by mid school year they will allow kids to be back to normal but I am sure that's a slim chance and it will be like this for the whole school year

Exactly, it still makes no sense. From a contact tracing point of view, it is safer to keep kids in school full time with the same group of people everyday. That should be the goal.
Sending kids to daycare where they will be exposed to all different individuals just makes no sense. It goes against everything the CDC says. They say to limit the amount of people you and your kids come into contact with. If one kid is sick and goes to school, then everyone there is at risk, then the same sick kid goes to daycare or before/after care, all those people are now exposed too. Then those kids from daycare go to their school the next day and they've exposed everyone they come into contact with at their school. Not to mention the first group of healthy kids that have now picked up the germs at school, are now spreading them at the daycare they go to. If the goal is to limit contact, then full time school is a better solution. Opening more daycares in place of school is pretty much counter-productive.

And what is going to make the Sept 2022 school year any better? Will this go on for years?
What is magically going to change in another year?

You are 100% right on that.
More exposure, more people in contact, harder to trace.

You are 100% right on that.
More exposure, more people in contact, harder to trace.
But for the kids that are in these childcare facilities, the schools will know where they are and if they've been exposed. I think it makes contact tracing easier. If a kid is in a private daycare the school has no idea if they've been exposed.
I don't know how it will work but I would hope they're attempting to keep kids together if they're from the same class or school so that they would minimize exposing them to a bunch of random kids.

Valid question. I teach in Queens, however not for the DOE, in a Catholic school. But, my students won't benefit from this child care, so on their remote days, their parents will be on their own to find child care. My DH & I both work full time, so yes, we depend on full time school.
FWIW, I have my doubts schools will even open hybrid, and if they do, it's only a matter of time before they shut again. So- what happens when you have a school system of 1.1 million children, now all of a sudden of home, and a majority of those parents have nobody to stay home with their kids?
In March, everyone was home, unless you were an essential worker. So the enrichment centers worked. Now- far more people have returned to their jobs, meaning remote learning will be a far bigger problem now than it was in March. I don't know- there is no solution.

Typically, daycares are smaller scale than schools. I don’t think you can compare them. It’s apples to oranges.

Daycares still need to abide by the mandates. They are suppose to keep in groups of 15 kids or less. They are suppose to try to maintain social distancing. They are suppose to encourage activities that do not require sharing objects and where the children can keep distance between them. They do not have to wear masks. If they are not doing that then they are in violation of the guidelines that were sent out. You can check the guidelines online.
Now do I think that it is super hard to do that with small children. Definitely and I do think that they may be allowing things that shouldn't be happening. Probably. The difference is that schools are going to be monitored and have to abide by the guidelines. They do not have the latitude that some private daycares have.

Re: I really hope that someone can explain how this makes sense
Honestly I think they are trying to do the best they can. I have a lot of empathy for people making these decisions. Look how nasty this board has gotten recently - there is no way to please everyone.
I think part of their rationale is that not all people will use the aftercare but it will be there for people who have no other choice. I can not fault them for this as I have no better ideas.
In a perfect world we’d all stay home nice and safe and no one would lose a job or their insurance or their home and everything would be fine. Magical unicorns could deliver us free food and supplies. We could all bake bread and do crafting projects, exercise and read books. But this obviously this isn’t going to happen.

this has been my question all along. So they cant be together in school but aftercare/daycare they can!!
makes 0 sense but you know what I am just over it.
they are going to do what they want even if it doesnt seem to make any sense to most.
kids are going to get screwed this school year and I feel terrible for them.
Hopefully by mid school year they will allow kids to be back to normal but I am sure that's a slim chance and it will be like this for the whole school year
And what is going to make the Sept 2022 school year any better? Will this go on for years?
What is magically going to change in another year?
The vaccine. That’s apparently the answer. Once the vaccine is out we can all go back to normal!!

Ah, the mystical vaccine. Dr. Fauci has said it will only be 75% effective, and because so many won't take it (is anyone surprised with how they are rushing this thing), it won't even create any kind of herd immunity. So I'm thinking more like September 2030.
