Get Used To These Kinds Of Stories in NYC
NYDN’s Einhorn writes up the utter confusion surrounding the (latest, mid-year) change in school start and/or end times as part of the new tutoring program negotiated in the city’s contract with teachers. Lots of people at all levels trying to make this work, but it’s nearly impossible not to get messy in some spots, as it pushes out other long-standing school programs and practices. The Chalkboard’s kids happen to attend a school that is ending at the same time as usual (3 p.m.) but now will be opening 10 minutes later in the morning (8:40 a.m.) Great news for the struggling kids who will get extra tutoring time. Shorter school day for everyone else. Stay tuned.
