Once-unsafe streets now provide pupils refuge from pandemic
A public school in Brooklyn is looking to show how classes can be moved outside to more safely facilitate in-person learning.
Teachers and parents at Public School 15 in Red Hook took to the street outside their campus Wednesday to demonstrate one way outdoor learning could work.
From afar, the demonstration looked like a street fair or a farmer’s market. Past a crossing guard, a traffic barricade and a handwashing station, teachers held lessons with children under 10, who sat on cushions on asphalt.
