Survey on 2020 Needed FAR More than Re-Opening Survey

The NYC schools are conducting a survey of students, parents and employees to get some kind of idea on how to reopen schools in September. At the same time, their Superintendent is indicating that some form of online learning will be incorporated into any reopening plan. A survey soliciting opinions on reopening would clearly provide the administration in NYC with helpful information on the various parameters under consideration, but I think it is FAR more important to gather as much feedback as possible on the experience the parents, employees and ESPECIALLY the students just had with online learning so that adjustments can be made. We just had a once in a century experience with shifting to a different form of instruction. Let’s take the time to gather as much helpful information on that experience as possible.
Just a little humor. One parent near me called the school’s office asking for the substitute list used by the district. This parent, a mother, said she needed a break and wanted to hire one.
