“I mean, I think everyone’s a little nervous. You know, I have a circle of family members at home. But we’re all here because we all love to teach and we do what we can. So we have our thermometers, our masks. We wash our hands, but we know it’s vital for children and the city. That’s why we’re here. ” You know we’ve been talking about it for a long time. You know, do we think we deserve to do everything remotely or do we deserve to do it mixed?And you know, after a while, a lot of you know how to get there. and pass – the pros and cons – we thought it would be better for him to go back to school and socialize with other children and so on. You know, we appreciate what teachers do and we see how they get explicit.

A sum of joy, confusion, and hope spread across New York City on Monday, on a first day of school like no other in the country’s largest school district.

Up to 90,000 children of pre-garden infants and students with complex disabilities visited approximately 700 school buildings to begin enjoying elegance in person. But the vast majority of the city’s 1. 1 million students online school year on Monday and will have the opportunity to return to elegance in the coming weeks.

The city’s 1,400 school buildings remained largely empty for six months after the city closed the study rooms in mid-March to help curb the spread of coronavirus.

Early in the morning, Tiyanna Jackson, who had left her homework in the spring to care for her 4-year-old daughter, Zuri, felt inundated with relief when she arrived at a pre-kindergarten in the South Bronx. says that with Zuri, who started school, he may return to work.

In East New York, Brooklyn, Balayet Hossain’s day began sadly after bringing her two daughters to school, only to find that the children, a kindergarten and a first grader, were unable to return to schools. . school buildings before next week.

And in Corona, a district of Queens that was greatly affected by the virus in the spring, Baryalay Khan said that leaving his daughter, Fathma, before K, made him feel that the city was recovering regardless.

“Schools are reopening, that’s a good sign,” he said.

While Monday’s reopening is a long way from what Mayor Bill de Blasio had promised (all academics have the opportunity to return to elegance), it still marks a vital milestone on the long road to the full reopening of New York City. the few villages in the country where some young people are now back at school.

“Something wonderful is happening today in New York,” the mayor said at a news convention On Monday, shortly after visiting a pre-kindergarten show in Queens.

However, the start of the school year here is fraught with anxiety and unknowns, many of which were exposed on Monday morning.

The Department of Education’s remote learning login page crashed for about 10 minutes at nine o’clock in the morning, as thousands of academics tried to log in for their first day of school. Dozens of parents expressed frustration on Twitter about generation problems, and some complained that only a few academics should register.

At Washington Heights Public School 513, only five students from pre-kindergarten attended school. Directors across the city still don’t have definitive figures on how many students are expected in the study rooms this week and next week, as parents can withdraw from user categories at any time.

And many other parents discovered themselves for childcare functions on Monday after the city failed to fulfill its promise to offer flexible systems to tens of thousands of vulnerable students and young people from essential staff, adding teachers, many of whom stayed. without childcare.

The mayor said Monday that the implementation of the childcare program had been even more confusing than the city had imagined. Approximately 30,000 seats would be had starting next week, he said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discreetly introduced, and then fell silently, from rules on their online page that recognize that coronavirus is mainly transmitted through the air.

Immediate reversal is another in a series of confusing mistakes made by the firm in relation to the official instructions you post on its website. for long periods of time and more than six feet.

Aerosol experts noted Sunday that the company had updated its description of the spread of the virus to say that the pathogen was basically spreading through the air.

The virus is transmitted through “respiratory droplets or small debris, such as aerosols, that occur when an inflamed user coughs, sneezes, sings, speaks, or breathes,” the CDC said at its address posted Friday. These wastes can be inhaled and inflamed, the firm added: “It is an idea that is the main means of spreading the virus. “

But that language disappeared on Monday morning.

“A preliminary edition of the proposed amendments to those recommendations mistakenly published on the firm’s official website,” the firm said, and once the last edition is completed, “the update language will be published. “

The document published on the C. D. C. website. “prematurely” and is still under review, according to a federal official familiar with the matter.

More than 200 experts on aerosol transmission asked the World Health Organization in July to review the evidence on aerosol transmission of the coronavirus. in relation to heavier respiratory droplets sneezing or coughing through inflamed patients.

“In the clinical community, it’s very clear that aerosols are very important,” said Linsey Marr, an expert on airborne viruses at Virginia Tech. “I hope he comes back in a way that recognizes the importance of aerosols. “

At some other address replacement on their website, the CDC said in August that other people who have close contact with an inflamed user but don’t have symptoms don’t want to be tested. But last week, after the New York Times reported that the Rules were dictated by politicians in the administration than by scientists, the firm changed its position and said that all close contacts of other inflamed people deserve to be evaluated regardless of symptoms.
