Shapiro Eliza “Schools in NYC fully reopen” The New York Times.  September,17,2021.www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/09/13/nyregion/nyc-schools-reopening.amp.html

SUMMARY

Almost 1 millions students have started to go back to school.  Many people don’t trust that school are safe right now. Almost 600,000 had decided to learn from home instead of in school last year but this year that option isn’t available. Families want to wait and get their children the vaccine before they send them to school.Mayor bill de Blasio thought that the reopening of schools would be a triumphant moment hit the delta variant has complicated things and had made it harder for parents and students.  Parents want their children to interact with other student students o improve their communication skills but, in schools the students are being separated and out in groups.sone parents have trained their children to keep their maid in at all times so they feel confident that their children are safe In school. In the article a student named Nate Hernandez says “ online classes have made him feel sad and lonely”.  Families are required to fill out health screening forms every day before entering the school. I trust this article because  it isn’t showing any bias. It’s showing both sides. It’s talking about about the negative effect of reopening schools and how they are unsafe and it’s talking about the positive effect and how schools are safe.

ANALYSIS

This article was written by Eliza Shapiro. she got degree from Columbia university. She served as editor in chief at Columbias news blog.  she joined the New York Times in 2018, and attended private school in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The intended audience of this article is students, parents, mayor, school officials and the government.  This was written to inform us of what’s going in schools and how it’s affecting everyone. This article is worth reading because its very important for us to know this information, in order to say safe. Also this is very important and is a very informative article.

RESPONSE

Before I started reading this article, the only reason I chose this article was because I needed a topic and wasn’t that sure what to chose. but after I read this article I understood how important this information was and its a great ting that I choose this article/topic. I was very surprised to find out that 600,000 families kept their children home for remote learning last year. I find it shocking that even though most people don’t want to send their children to Schoo, the mayor is basically forcing them to go back to school. I believe that the mayor should not have reopened schools so quickly.  This article had a lot of good information that makes me believe that if someone reads this, they will agree that schools reopening was a mistake. I trust this article because it isn’t showing any bias. It’s showing both sides. It’s talking about about the negative effect of reopening schools and how unsafe they are  and it’s talking about the positive effect and how schools are safe and how they are unsafe.

School have reopened but there are still many issue in school. 169 classrooms have shit down due to the outbreak . also 403 students and staff tested positive for coronavirus.  It’s still very dangerous for children going back to school. Protests and staff shortages have greeted students  as they head back to class. even schools that are following all measures of keeping staff and students safe are unable to protect from the delta variant. In the article it says “Out of 98,000 schools, roughly 1,700 that began the academic year in person have since temporarily closed due to outbreaks or pivoted to virtual or hybrid learning, according to burbio up from about 1,400 last week”.  51,000 students in Texas and 20,000 students in Mississippi have tested positive for the coronavirus.Bus drivers have started to quit their jobs which has put many special education students without a ride to school. kids are making up an increasing proportion of new cases. also I the article it says  “Most recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association reported that nearly 29% of the cases recorded in the week leading up to Sept. 2 were in children”.  president Joe Biden is calling on all governors to require vaccine for all students and staff in schools.

 

ANALYSIS

Also its saying that many parents were unhappy with the mayor opening up schools again.  This is worth reading because it is very important for all of us and especially children.

 

RESPONSE

This was a great article and I learned many important thing from this article, that I did not know before.  a lot of the facts in here had me surprised.  so many people wanted to keep their children home safely but this year there is no remote option for students. before reading this I didn’t know that coronavirus could affect children as well. The article was very informative and provided a lot of great information about the obstacles that are being faced in schools. I believe that this is Wrong, forcing kids to go to school knowing the dangers. I think that parents should be given the option to send their kids to school or keep them home.  I trust this article because it is a credible source and does not show any bias.

 

Article 3

Shamus, Kristen “https://amp.freep.com/amp/8422532002” Detroit Free press. October,15,2021

SUMMARY

students who attended K-12 schools with mask requirements in August and September had lower rates of coronavirus transmission than those at schools without mandates.  A lot of studies have proven that masking helps prevent transmission.Virus spread was 62% higher in school districts with no mask rules. The rate of infection was 45 in every 100,000 by late September. Wearing masks in schools has proven beneficial and has protected the children and teachers. A study proved that high schools with no mask mandate has 3.5 times the higher outbreaks than schools with a mask mandate. Another study conducted in 520 countries across the world showed that without mask mandates the transmission rates were double than what they were for mask mandated places. Whether to mandate masks in schools has become a huge issue with some people agreeing and some disagreeing. The CDC recommends wearing masks and it has been proven that they prevent transmission and protect everyone.

This was a great article to read and I learned many important thing and statistics. a lot of facts in here were really interesting and show us that wearing masks is preventing coronavirus in many places. also most importantly, wearing masks is protecting students in schools. before reading this I knew that wearing masks is really important, but I didn’t know its this important.  The article was very informative and provided a lot of statistics. I believe masks should become a law which requires everyone to wear masks, that’s the only way we can all be safe. I trust this article because it is a credible source and it’s showing both viewpoints of masking and non masking.

Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. worldwide there are currently more than 1.2 billion children in 186 countries affected by school closures due to the pandemic.  research shows that online learning increases retention of information and takes less time to do it.  Online education was going on even before the coronavirus.  The pandemic resulted in the larges online movement in the history of education. Many companies have benefited from the shift to online education.  There are however many challenges that students have had to face. Some of those challenges were internet access and electronic devices. also most importantly students were unable to focus online.
