It took only one day

 John F. Kennedy Jr. School Queens

  A Queens school has closed due to the coronavirus for the first time this year, officials announced Thursday.

The John F. Kennedy Jr. School in Elmhurst became the first city school to prompt a 14-day quarantine protocol after two unrelated coronavirus cases were confirmed among staff or students.

The DOE could not immediately disclosed who was infected.

According to the Department of Education, action would be taken when two or more COVID-19 infections were confirmed at the same school with no links between the infected students.

“We hope to return to the building on Wednesday, October 13,” a letter from school officials said.

Bottom line: The teachers want to stay home and get paid for as long as possible.

It cost $20,000 to educate a student in NYC public schools. It cost $7,000 to educate a student in parochial schools or yeshivas.

Wrong. Provide the data. I have provided it. Is almost $10,000 more.

Have the numbers? Facts we need not opinion when it comes to numbers.

Some of my friends, coworkers sent their kids to Catholic schools - last number I had was $10,000 per year - about 2 years ago.
That's 1/3 of the taxpayer funded public school price per year/per pupil.

Lazy public school teachers want to stay home and watch PBS, their message to the children and their parents is to wear a mask, stay home and shut up.
