The clock is ticking to the start of in-person learning, though Mayor de Blasio pushed back the date just days before buildings were set to open on Monday.
While teachers have been frustrated with the lack of preparedness and communication, they are again thrown a curve ball with this latest announcement.
“It’s frustrating because it’s like a game of Chance…and I don’t think it’s fair,” said Fifth Grade Teacher Carmela Moretti of P.S. 234 in Astoria.
On Wednesday, Moretti called into “One New York” to say the staff at her school was not ready at the time, and did not blame the principal, but the Department of Education.
She also said special needs students she works with would not get the attention that they need.
But Moretti said she doesn’t have much confident needs will be met by next week.
“I don’t have a lot of faith in things getting fixed in the next few days because we’ve been at this for weeks,” she told NY1.
