Some schools, yes, but not the entire system. Maybe staff should be redirected to those schools, instead of having us twiddling out thumbs in unaffected buildings. I don’t object to coming in, but I do object to the unproductive use of teachers’ time. FYI, I would jump through burrning hoops for my students, which is why I resent this silly exercise.

If you can’t get there, you can’t.

I don’t think real PD is going to happen. I think some schools will have to move, deal with lots of damage or will be getting kids with MAJOR issues. I have many students who may have lost homes or have homes with no power or have homes with major damage. They will have to restock the food and get ready to feed kids. I’m no fan of Bloomberg, but I do think that some schools will need time to get things kid ready.

With schools as pulling sites for many districts, I’m not sure if they could change the day to a PD day.

Speak English much? Please avail yourself of a dictionary, since we have spare time, and look up: “commentary” and “judgment”. Then write a short paragraph comparing and contrasting the two words.
Like it or not, hearing parents complain about having to spend time with their families just sounds wrong.

Teachers reporting Friday to “get ready” for next week? I got ready in September. I don’t need to spend hours on the road on Friday (no, can’t get there reasonably on mass transit even on the best of days) to do work that I am already doing at home, or to have PD. If the kids were coming, I’d make every effort to be there; right now instructional time is what’s needed, especially since we keep losing it to data inquiry and other distractions.

I know this will offend many, but I find it very interesting, as I walk my neighborhood and listen to the news, how many parents are complaining about their children. While there are many hard hit areas, there are also many areas t hat have minimal damage. Children can go outside, or inside, and find ways to pass the time.
I think it is a very sad commentary on our society that the absence of electronic toys, and the need for parents to spend time with their children, causes stress and difficulties.
I also hope these parents remember these days, when their children return to school, and the parents return to the teacher bashing that has become so fashionable. We spend hours every day locked in rooms with your children.
I am happy to say that my children and I are having a ball, enjoying our time together. Look closely, parents, these years will go away soon enough. Talk to your children today and they will be there when you need someone to listen in the future.
Good luck and good thoughts to all those who are truly suffering at this time.

Do the schools have back up generators? Like many, we live in Brooklyn and my child goes to school in lower Manhattan. While transportation will be a logistical nightmare it may not be safe to have students in areas that are without power especially traffic signals.

I hope all GS readers and staff made it through the storm relatively unscathed.

The DOE should cancel school for tomorrow and Friday, assuming the subways won’t be running either day, and reassess for Monday. The days can be made up by eliminating the gratuitous (even in a non-hurricane year) “mid-winter recess”.
