Elkaim’s mother taught kindergarten and first grade for years; Elkaim spent five years as a middle-school teacher before moving to high school last fall. Even so, she learned a few crucial lessons about the job from watching her mother that have come into focus since the coronavirus shut down New York City schools. One was that teaching is all about relationships. Her mother was always good at this — picking up on the little things that showed a kid you were paying attention.
For New York City public-school teachers, the experiment started at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, when Mayor de Blasio, after a week of resisting growing pressure, announced the city’s schools would close. The delay left many teachers baffled and angry, and the days that followed inspired little confidence from teachers that their physical safety was a priority.
Throughout the school system, such problems abounded. Students in homeless shelters lacked Wi-Fi. Whole families found themselves sharing one phone, or one computer, among siblings all trying to do their work. At Elkaim’s school, 84 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. As March turned to April, some of Elkaim’s students were still limited to cell phones; she kept up with them over text while they waited for laptops to be delivered.
