Governor Cuomo proposes isolation based education system to be run by Prinicipal Bill Gates

 

Remote learning could replace the practice of a teacher standing in front of a classroom instructing students in the post-coronavirus area, Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested Tuesday.

Cuomo dropped the bombshell while announcing a partnership with the Gates Foundation to “reimagine” education in the post-COVID era.

“One of the areas we can really learn from is education because the old model of our education system where everyone sits in a classroom is not going to work in the new normal,” the governor said at a press briefing Tuesday at his Manhattan office.


“And you do that all across the city, all across the state, all these buildings, all these physical classrooms,” he said. “Why? With all the technology you have?”

“When we do reopen our schools let’s reimagine them for the future, and to do that we are collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and exploring smart, innovative education alternatives using all the new technology we have at our disposal.”

What's this "the new normal" shit he keeps bringing up? Obviously to justify then implement privatization of all government departments and services while maintaining a climate and culture of fear and a stranglehold on power. This is dangerous.

This is going to be interesting to see what actions the UFT and the PSC take to counter this move ! Remember these two Unions are very big supporters of the Demorcratic Machine.

This pointless primary for the Democrats does have a point and that is to establish a base for the Governor to walk away from NYS and try to reach the White House. The Dems know that unless they do something Trump will have a Roman Triumph in November with both Congress and the White House under his control.

If that happens NYC will be under martial law by February. The 3rd World will be in rebellion by March-April followed by a mass exodus of millennial families and the Trump administration filling all those newly empty buildings with the underclass in lockdown by summer.

NYC will resemble an ancient city that lost a war - walls pulled down, population fleeing, and the ground sown in salt making it a desert for generations.

Do you trust him with the school system ? He is a total failue and never should have been re-elected. The UFT gave him 100% backing in the last election and this is their reward.
When will Cuomo answer for the thousands of elderly who died in nursing homes in NYS because he MANDATED that they must accept Covid-19 + patients? Why not send them to the Javits Center or US Comfort ? The liberal Press in NYC is not giving this story the right attention !

Its a big bonanza for the state and city.
It will no longer have to pay for all the security and administrative staff.
All that staff (liberals) doing useless jobs get too much money and benefits anyway.
You also wont need books and all these kids on public transportation.

They have this in Denmark, Sweden and other Scandinavian country were parents get guaranteed housing and get paid to stay home with the kids.
Why work hard ?
Down side is everybody who must work to pay for this socialism earns pretty much the same money at a 60-70% tax rate. Too add, if you own a private home large beyond your needs you must take in staff for hire or government assigned tenants.
Its a bonanza for the poor people, your drug addicts, problem people and such.
If you refuse the crown will bust you for discrimination and a whole list of things then take your home

I'm not sure what they mean by the "new normal" either.
The politicians seem a little bit too eager to change entire paradigms overnight and without regard for the inevitable unintended consequences.

Think about it, they spent the last 4 years telling everyone that they needed to put their kids into schools at age 3 (when many as still in diapers)and now they want to suddenly put all these kids into computer classrooms from home?

They've made the public in New York so dependent on the schools-as-nanny model of teaching and yet suddenly want to pull the rug right from underneath their feet!

...also, the reviews I'm hearing from parents and kids all over the place is that they are NOT liking the online teaching experience as the "new normal" of education in America. It's fine as an adjunct to teaching and meetings (maybe for parent teacher conferences for example) but certainly not as a means of educating the masses.

I am quite sure that Bill Gates made it very financially attractive for Cuomo to replace live teachers with machines--so long as they are Microsoft machines run by Microsoft software. It is chilling to think that Cuomo--already known to be a murderous amoral puke who sent COVID patients into nursing homes with the most vulnerable helpless elderly in residence, who supports abortion up to the moment of birth--would consider electrons to be educators over live human beings. Ignorant of real education, which is far beyond having students read something and then spit it back out on tests, Cuomo dismisses the importance of actual educators. A machine is not going to perceive that a student doesn't "get it" and then try a different approach. A machine is not going to give a student an encouraging smile which gets them over a hurdle, comfort them when things in their life are not going right, recognize and report child abuse when it is manifest, or take the kids on educational field trips. A machine is just a machine and its ability to constantly react to and modify its interaction to the learning process is limited. And a student is not just a widget, representing a collection of statistics.

Cuomo and Gates are partners in the dehumanization and devaluing of both students and teachers and in the process, of humanity itself.

It's like they've forgotten that half the point of school is to get kids out of the house for part of the day. Not just to get them out of their parents' hair, but to get them to be active and to socialize.

Coronavirus hype biggest political hoax in history !

The new coronavirus is real. The response to the coronavirus is hyped. And in time, this hype will be revealed as politically hoaxed. In fact, COVID-19 will go down as one of the political world’s biggest, most shamefully overblown, overhyped, overly and irrationally inflated and outright deceptively flawed responses to a health matter in American history, one that was carried largely on the lips of medical professionals who have no business running a national economy or government. The facts are this: COVID-19 is a real disease that sickens some, proves fatal to others, mostly the elderly — and does nothing to the vast majority.

It’s an opinion piece written by a right winger who tweeted this:

@washtimes
The face-masking of America has now trickled to state govts and the private sector as a mandate. As a mandated muzzle on individuals. And all the good sheep have come out bleating their cheers.


In China, Asian countries (not all ) they used masks and Asians in Queens were wearing masks long before it was mandated. Their infection rate is 7% while representing 14% of the population.

Italy had a fatality rate of 14%. Children now are having symptoms unique to children. The virus is known to damage the lungs even after recovery. It can attack the heart and liver for example. Blood clots or attacking the heart may be the cause of cardiac arrest.

If every country that had to go into lockdown when they didn’t take it seriously and even Japan has already announced a Stat of Emergency then you’re telling this right winger political hack who’s useless except to write right wing rhetoric fir whomever pays her is right?

So you reference a shill?

The government is monitoring our phones and emails so it would behoove them to keep us separated from each other so as not to foment any uprising on the down low. Keep'em stupid and scared.

The Bilderbergs are pushing AI and many jobs are gone for good. It will all be blamed on da virus. Mom or dad will be encouraged to stay home and supervise the kids watching School-TV. The reimagined curriculum will replace American history and math with Cuomo 101, where women in N95 masks will discuss Fraudo's strength, leadership and big dreamy brown eyes. Fredo will be MC and if the kids answer YES to "Chris Cuomo is not the stupid one" - which will appear on every test - they go on to Cuomo 102, but only if the entire family submits to yearly covid vaccinations because that's what people who really really care about science do.

Oh and the bigs will be buying up all the mom and pop real estate foreclosed upon by the pandemic-induced shitdown. When tenant advocates call for rent strikes they'll find their locks changed and get a "You Wanted This, A-hole" recording on 311.

Actually It does in a way that's perhaps worse then catching the virus.

Make no mistake politicians are using the virus to impose socialism at gunpoint.
Look at the crap on TV and out of every democrat politicians mouth "we are all in this together"
2-A cyber education system being put together by Principal Bill Gates. This so home education becomes the norm, schools re-purposed as homeless shelters, affordable housing and perhaps some ESL services.
This in turn will convert the last good neighborhoods into shit, all the same shit with property values already harmed.

This virus is festering a 2nd Trojan Virus and the New Yorker's controlling election result numbers are too stupid to understand.

Careful folks. The progressives can smell blood in the water. They are seizing power right now. They want your kids indoctrinated at an early age because they fear them.

You're living in the ol' NYC bubble.
Texas: 30,000,000 Americans with 1,011 deaths from Covid-19 = 0.000033 deaths/pop.

Children can get coronavirus but it's rare (1.7% of reported cases) and when they do the symptoms are usually mild:

https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-the-biggest-study-on-kids-and-covid-19-published-to-date

In fact, one Chinese studies on Covid19 revealed no fatalities below the age of 15.

The "permanent lung damage" reports are highly inflated and anecdotal at best.
Most people recover from coronavirus as they do from other viral pneumonias; with lung tissue clearing away the infection and replacing diseased tissue through the body's innate immune and repair response.

The ruse is up, we have enough facts on this virus to make more intelligent decisions. We know for instance that it's Case Fatality Rate is much, much lower than the "millions will die" scenario.
No matter how much you and other Democrats want to raise the death count, this virus will not reach the death counts of past Flu pandemics that did not cause the shut down of our entire economy, the destruction of countless family business and the families that run them and the wholesale attack on our Constitutional rights.

Estimated Case Mortality Rate; 0.12%- 0.20%
That's science for you my friend. You can argue with Stanford University scientists about it, but I wouldn't since their counterparts at Oxford University found similar conclusions about the Case Mortality Rate for Covid-19:

https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2020/04/21/los-angeles-study-backs-stanford-researchers-conclusion-about-high-prevalence-of-covid-19


Time to stop the games Democrats. We need to open up the economy before we destroy our own nation.
Protect those that are vulnerable (60 and above, pre-existing conditions, immune compromised).
Let the rest of America get the fuck back to work and put this crap behind us.
Scientific studies even show that the virus does not propagate well with higher Summer temperatures, ultraviolet (sunlight) and higher humidity. So the Summer will continue to push the numbers down on our side.

Finally, there's Farr's Law. We know how viruses act in populations, they've been studied for two hundred years of Scientific inquiry.
This virus is acting like other viruses, which means it will subside.

The Washington Post writer is right.

This was always the case and widely acknowledged that public education was to produce factory workers that could speak, write, and read, and perform simple math. Universities often have their engineering departments following what the industry expects from the engineering students and the Universities have to oblige or lose their accreditation or like MIT, one of the US premier engineering schools don’t care.

Never listened to Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall?

I don’t know about you but I had wonderful teachers that were passionate about the subjects they taught.

Teachers of course indoctrinate students. You want kids to not listen to teachers and principals and bully other kids? Of course there’s socialization being taught.

Do you have kids attending school or you’re just making stuff up?

JQ LLC you're right and your wrong.

"You know what this reminds me of? New World Order, concocted by the George HW Bush administration during the first invasion of Iraq, another war based on a lie."

No, this isn't socialism, it's feudalism complete with lockdown serfdom, lords ruling their fiefdom by decree and separate systems of justice for the nobility and the commoners.

The Democrats though have long been famous for jumping out in front of the socialist parade and trying to lead it themselves for their own purposes. But the Ruling Class has since the 1930's has been admirers of the Soviet government system (and later the Chinese Communist Party) which, if imposed here, would protect their power and privilege. They've recently tried it with identity politics which didn't work so now they've decided to mask, and socially isolate us all to atomize communities. Divide and conquer.

It all comes under the early 20th century fascination with all things "scientific" including a "scientifically" designed top-down, centrally managed economy and society. It's about holding power. But what the rank-and-file socialist tends to forget that even for the socialist leadership, power is an end in and of itself, not a means to an end.

But anyway, let's drag that old villain George HW Bush and the NWO, which was an idea floating around the elite chattering classes since the end of WWII, into it as it would be some kind of rhetorical kill shot. Nope, it missed.

Bush the Elder was a liberal Republican, yeah amazing right? Aren't all Republicans right wing evangelical Christians who steal everyone else's wealth. But try to stay with me here as it gets more complicated.

There was no real difference between actual policies between Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama because both political parties essentially agree on such matters. They all agree on this NWO and globalism. One might call them the red/blue faction Uniparty. So it doesn't matter who signed what as any of them would have done the same.

Some further thoughts:

"Churchill also said capitalism was a vice too, you know and the inequality he speaks of is happening right now in abundance and we all have to share the misery from it.

Those grey areas can be annoying."


What are these gray areas and where might they be?
In equality cannot be remedied as all of us differ physically, mentally and psychologically. There will always be winners and losers because of this. To believe otherwise, one would have to believe in the cargo cult of progressive liberalism or socialism where the concepts of social justice and fairness cannot be defined and only expressed as grievance. The rest is pure magical thinking.

Socialism and progressive liberalism are religions for people who if not seeking power, are just dissatisfied with where they are in life. It promises to somehow make everything fair in a utopian egalitarian paradise which none of its adherents are able to figure out how to structure it or make it work. But it can happen in spite of this, they think.

This a magical world for people who cannot be honest with themselves and realize that they're to blame if they aren't as wealthy and successful as they want to be. They either refuse to acknowledge their limitations, they're simply blithering idiots or they just suck. Nope, they're losers who have got to blame someone else for their problems and that's caitalism.

But what is this "capitalism" outside of the enemy ideology created by Marx and used as a strawman to be knocked down in his writings. Where is this capitalist manifesto or other document defining a capitalist dogma and ideology? How is membership defined? Is there an official Capitalist membership card and handbook given out?

It's not. It's simply a pejorative meant to convey a negative emotional response. Liberals use it because they're emoters, not thinkers.

The concept it is conflated with is called trade or free enterprise which has no ideology other than someone has something to sell and someone else wants to buy it and will trade or pay for it. In and of itself it has no moral quality or agency. These are solely the province of we human beings.

Apologies for going on a bit long here in two parts but I hope I've clarified the gray area for you.

Exactly,
now that the shit hit the fan with the Barr investigation into the bullshit Mueller Investigation, the entire construct is crumbling.
You wonder how much evidence Democrats need to see before they open their eyes and shake their heads out of the stupor.
They've been lied to in the biggest political scandal in US history. A scandal in which the top levels of intelligence agencies colluded with the Obama administration to actually attempt the destruction of a duly elected President.

We now know that intelligence agency officials and DOJ officials under Obama had testified in Adam Schiff's sham hearings about how they had seen NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER of Trump "colluding" with Russians. Yet, they continued the farce and the "investigation" for 3 years.
And democrats ate it all up. The erosion and willful assault on the rule of law, on the basis of our Constitutional democracy, and the Democrats ate it up willingly as it was served up nightly by vermin in the liberal media like CNN, NYTimes, Washington Post, MSNBC, NBC news, CBS news.
We even have handwritten notes by these colluding traitors committing treason by setting up perjury traps that took down people like General Flynn.

"what's our goal here, truth? Get him to lie so we can prosecute him?"

..and still they continue to resist. We're dealing with individuals who want nothing more than the destruction of our nation in order to substitute some stupid idea of a "new and better socialism".
So they vote for people like Sanders, and Ocasio-Cortez, like Cuomo who has presided over disaster after disaster in this state. People like deBlasio whose incompetence and corruption would have him arrested in any other time.

What will it take exactly for Democrats to wake up from the matrix-like trance to realize how damaged and willfully scornful of the Constitution the Democrat party has become?

Meanwhile, Joe Biden continues to deteriorate by the day in his basement and his accuser seems more and more credible.

I say President wins another 4 years and we continue to see our nation move in the right direction.
The dems tried to pin this virus on Trump, but I think the American people across the nation see exactly what has happened; the virus has exposed the severe failings of Democratic leadership in our big cities...especially NYC.
