New York City public schools just can’t quit remote learning, no matter how much of an educational and logistical disaster it’s proven to be again and again. Witness the latest debacle: Schools trying to guilt trip parents into forcing their kids to log on during an upcoming day off. Why should schoolkids be wasting time logging into Zoom instead of playing outside on a beautiful early June day, you ask? Because last time the schools tried to go full remote, during a February snow day, the system crashed. So now — the moronic argument runs — the onus is on kids to help the...
