Or, there needs to be a cadre of judges sent to the border crossings to hear cases instead of allowing unvetted entry into the United States.

No, but I certainly sympathize.

The Simon Baruch Middle School in Gramercy Park had a chickenpox case, according to a Jan. 25 notice from the principal which said students not vaccinated for the illness could not attend school.

A parent at the school said after the announcement, five migrant children were absent for a few days from the class in question.

That's why there are outbreaks occurring in NYC public schools stemming from children allowed to attend classes without vaccination records or titer tests.

Are these hotel owners planning to replace all the mattresses and bedding, and deep clean all the carpets and upholstery? Otherwise, I don't know how many tourists would visit NYC instead of another destination.

Despite the enormous monetary, logistical, and staffing burden on the city's government and ultimately the taxpayers, there is no appreciation for these provided resources from the beneficiaries.

At a recent city council meeting, Julie Won and Gale Brewer were pressing the HERRC staff on the quality of the food. Breakfast with milk and fresh fruit, prepared sandwiches for lunch and a hot dinner that is calorically and nutritionally sufficient is very reasonable. Religious and medical adjustments are accomodated.

Demands for meals that are culturally familiar, when there are people from multiple regions of the world is not a reasonable requirement. Specific meal Demands for chicken and rice is not reasonable.

My takeaway from the article:

Yet despite the city’s pleas for help from the Biden and Hochul administrations, it has gotten a drop in the bucket when it comes to financial help — even as the Big Apple barrels toward a projected $4.2 billion two-year total bill to handle the influx.

Thank you for the perspective. That would make for a tough balancing act with such a wide range of abilities in the same classroom.

I'm sorry that happened to you, that is someone who should definitely not be allowed to teach. Hope things, are going well for you. Living well is the best revenge on naysayers.

I have been lucky to come across many wonderful and caring teachers as a public school student (decades ago) and parent.

What was the reading level of the children's books you chose and what was the level of your analysis?

Thank you.

Is Karen Vaites on any other platform besides Twitter?

My oldest reads a novel a month in English class. I thought that was normal for high school.

Thank you for replying and for the information. That is certainly salient and should have been included in the article, if it was published at all.

EDIT: Just reread the article, it states that this was the curriculum for a general education class.

I have some honest questions. Please indulge my curiosity.

It's late November and these are high school students. How nuch time should review take during the school year?

The article mentioned the student's current experience of only being assigned chapters instead of entire novels. Why is that the norm?
