Oh, boy.

Disorganization plagues the city’s efforts to hire about 400 public school nurses, with more than 100 still needed days after Mayor Bill de Blasio suddenly delayed reopening city classrooms, sources and officials said.

New York City Health + Hospitals had only hired 272 out of 379 nurses needed to fill empty positions in 1,400 school buildings as of September 3, a union source told NY1.

They waited this long for that? Some of these officials could not run a lemonade stand. The schools are close to opening.

If it's anything like the remote learning that started today, it's going to be a huge, hot mess.
Listened to "Mornings on NY1" today (where they take in calls from New Yorkers to discuss how things went) and it was so discouraging. Calls after calls by parents expressing their frustration at not being able to log in, or not being given the right password, or not having the tablets that were promised to them with no further information given (because the school officials probably don't even know, is what I'm guessing).

Screw it. I think they're going to move the date once again. They're not ready.

First day of school in NYC plagued by technical difficulties, hackers.

New York City’s new school year began online Wednesday — and some fed-up parents are already giving the remote-learning system an ‘F.’

Hes the type that would use powdered lemonade, instead of fresh squeezed lemons.

I agree though would not buy from him either.

Oh he would def use the powdered mix. He'd probably get distracted making it and just zone out and end up putting in either no sugar or 5x the amount
