Rebecca was impressive. An #NYCSchools graduate - she is designing and building social robots to help people with anxiety, autism and dementia. #EdTech

In #nyc , our mayor and our governor give us austerity budgets and try to make life difficult by underfunding our #NYCschools and abandoning our #NYCparks because they are worried that the rich will leave if they tax them.

Point-of-fact, the rich do NOT leave because of NYC/NYS taxes. Middle class people do (probably because you’ve underfunded and messed up schools) and poor people leave (because housing is so expensive).

A (#Seattle) Greenways friend who moved to #NYC emailed me randomly about the smoke; in giving life updates, I mentioned that we were suing the city for school tuition.

She responded with, "Is that what everyone does? I just assumed because we have our own lawsuit, not kidding."

What a stupid system. #NYCSchools

Better late than never. Air still bad tomorrow. But,
#NYCSchools
should have moved to remote education Wednesday when air was hazardous (PM2.5 >> 400). Instead it was business as usual. What are you doing
#NYCMayor #nycemergencymgt
? You act like the #smokewave was a surprise!
