Most NYC privates that are opening in person won't start until mid September. Publics not until Sep. 21 at the earliest. Circle back in 3 weeks. I can imagine that the lucky few who can go to school in person, even with masks and social distancing rules, will be very very happy.
The school where I teach opened in person on Monday. Kids are happy to see each other and teachers but they are cashed by 1pm. Lunch is a shitshow (13 kids + two teachers in a room, cardboard dividers that fall over) and social distancing is a fail but mask discipline has been mostly okay.
Bathrooms and handwashing are logistically very difficult- lots of slip-ups there. The teachers are trying to walk the line of not stressing out the kids but also keeping it safe

@anonymous Thank you for this update, it's sounds good enough to me. Good luck with everything! Signed, a grateful parent to those teachers who are showing up for work.
