Education News Roundup
Michael Elsen-Rooney, education reporter for the New York Daily News, discusses the latest news in NYC schools including mask mandates, graduation rates, and more.
Plus, we hear calls from #PandemicEd teachers, school workers, and parents respond to prompt: "After 2 pandemic years, my students are more __ than they were in 2019."
The not so great: they are more unmoored socially, emotionally, and with the basics on academics. On the flip side, this has made them much more flexible and able to go with the flow.
