Although this letter may came late but something can still be done to reverse the opening of classes.
The opening of classes should resume until such time BOE can assure schools would be spared from power outages.
Recent study shows that lack of rest disrupts blood flow to the brain. The brain, the most important tool in life, must not be compromised in any way. This is not what we want our children’s body to experience at such a fragile age. Lack of rest can hinder the focus ability of every child.
What makes the Public School System think that students can learn outdoors? Do you think they will pay attention to the instructor or pay attention to who’s across the campus? Everyone will be outside of course. The same goes to adult employees who goes to work with lack of rest. The ability of the individual will not be up to par. The productivity will not be to the employer’s liking.
I suggest that all parents should voice out and observe a boycott (not let your child go to school). Until Sept. 22 or until such time CUC is at a stable condition.
I ask BOE and PSS administrators to have a heart. BOE and PSS have always said they care for the learning and safety of every child. So where’s the care? Where’s the love?
