I don't know if I can bear to watch. This whole thing has gotten out of control. It's like the Hunter admin and teachers are having a bad divorce and fighting for custody of the parents.
@Anonymous They're going to make the same claims that CUNY couldn't "prove" that the ventilation was safe. Even though OBVIOUSLY the windowed building would be safer. Big fat duh.
Well, just got an email with a bunch of pictures from Lisa. The class in the Silberman building looks nice. And I guess it's nice that they put up plexiglass behind the security desk.
where did you sign up to receive teachers’s notifications? I only receive official messages from Lisa, Tony And general hccs staff. Are you all alumni?
"Oh, woe is me, I didn't get to spend my summer at the beach and I had to spend my time advocating for my health to the administration.." blah blah. Spare me.
I can understand them raising issues regarding safety about the 94th St building. But why are they making the same demand with the Silberman building and 68th St? I don't think they will ever be satisfied!
Please don't change your mind because of the teachers. It's one thing to choose remote because it's what's best your family/child. But don't do it to give in to the teachers.
That was a nice touch to say "of course we love your children and we understand that some of you HAVE to send your kids into school.." Sure. Is that why you're fighting so hard against coming back in person?
@MidtownMom +1, see the MS 88 issues. It's clear the plan of containing the spread once someone tests positive is not working. And I don't think they are wrong.
It was funny when someone called out that counselor about the whole equity bit in the chat. He was like, "What about the kids who don't have wifi and a reliable computer to do remote learning? It's better for them to come in person"and the counselor started crowing about how Hunter should have gotten devices for all the children. She is so full of shit.
haven't gotten it yet either
I got an email ....maybe ask around IRL
I just got it, thanks!
please report back!

I will hang up if Mr K goes on one of his rants again. I would like to hear from some of the other teachers.
Also, I want to ask them what exactly were they thinking when they didn't say yes to 68th St!

Let's all watch together and comment here.
Great idea! I'm in!

Ok Hunter teachers, spit it out. Tell us about the boycott. Don't take an hour of time to lead up to it.
She has congratulated them over and over for spending "hours" on this presentation.
@anonymous They are just posting the questions submitted by the parents but evading answering them
How come I didn’t receive the link to this zoom meeting? I have a senior and I fully support the teachers.
So it doesn't matter if it's brand new spanking building. They want a report from an independent inspector NO MATTER WHAT
and if they don't get it?
@Anon "delay in person instruction until this reasonable request is granted"
@Anonymous they really intend to not show up?
jesus fuck.
Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

email Irv Kagan, he will put you on the list
Well, that was a colossal waste of time.
"Oh, woe is me, I didn't get to spend my summer at the beach and I had to spend my time advocating for my health to the administration.." blah blah. Spare me.
From what I heard, most of the veteran teachers retired..? It wasn't very clear. The chat was moving too fast for me to read all the responses

Well, the teachers win. I'm throwing in the towel. Just emailed to request remote. I can't send my kid off to deal with these people.
So you are so sick of dealing with their tactics and silliness (dare I call it bullying?) that you'll give them what THEY want? That'll teach them!
This is why bullies exist, because it works!

Doesn’t sound like school is actually starting on 9/21, does it.
My prediction is no NYC public is starting on the 21st in person.

My favorite part was when the teacher starting whining about missing her beach vacation.
@anonymous Yeah, that was rich!
