Kids uneducated become incarcerated: Adams
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Councilmember Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Bath Beach) appeared with parents, education advocates and students in front of Department of Education headquarters in Manhattan to demand changes on behalf of students who have been left behind by the new blended and remote learning models. Representatives of the DOE recently revealed that 77,000 students still lacked learning devices such as tablets and computers. “The students we fail to educate today, we are more likely to incarcerate tomorrow. It is a disgrace that almost seven months into remote learning, there are still thousands of students waiting to get learning devices so they can participate in classes,” Adams said.
