In a surprising turn of events, New York City sent nearly 2000 migrants to a Brooklyn high school, resulting in 3600 students being forced to stay home and learn remotely. As concerned parents voiced their frustrations, it became evident that this may not be the ideal solution. While the primary focus was ensuring the safety and security of everyone involved, including the asylum seekers and students, some parents worry that their children will once again be left behind in terms of education.
Amidst the ongoing struggle to make up for learning losses caused by remote schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic, the sudden displacement of students has only added to the challenges they face. Many parents have expressed concerns about the effectiveness of online classes, noting that some teachers failed to show up, and even those who did were unable to provide the same level of instruction as in-person learning.
