Defunding schools to the point that we have a 400:1 student-to-teacher ratio so we can bankroll another huge expansion in an already-multibillion dollar police budget is how you build a school-to-prison pipeline. It’s reckless & won’t make our future better. Rank

NYC Mayoral Frontrunner Eric Adams: “With new technology you don’t need school children to be in a school building with a number of teachers. It’s just the opposite. You could have one teacher teach 300-400 students.”

Please. Our schools are fully funded for the first time. Our schools are NOT OPEN. Tomorrow > half million NYC public school children (including 2 of mine) will be “remote” bc local leaders like you did not fight for our children FOR OVER A YEAR. 🤬😩🤯

Yes let’s rank Maya, but the only way to stop Adams at this point is to rank Yang and leave out Adams or we are looking at having Eric Adams be our beloved mayor for the next 4/8 years

Didn’t the pandemic show us how in person learning is pretty important?

Every teacher in the country should get paid $150k minimum. Most teachers have no one on their side, they are up against students, parents, and administration when trying to get things done.

Technology is not the answer for everything. You can challenge and inspire or really help a child without personal contact.

Something tells me in his luxury vehicle that his kids would never have to deal in an environment where students outnumber teachers 400-1. Unacceptable. Kids need to be nurtured. Made to feel special. Private schools understand this. Y should public be different? We can fund war

That was the ratio when you were in college. BTW, catching criminals early and breaking the cycle is how you stop the school-to-prison pipeline. Parkland would have been avoided if it had not been for Obama
