Remote learning has been especially challenging for children with special needs, developmental delays or social struggles, reports @hannah_natanson & @laurameckler. Social interactions and school rituals are essential for their development. #ReOpenClass

Parents fear the indefinite school shutdown, which has left special education students "helpless and agitated." Not only are there apparent emotional and academic regressions, but also extreme social isolation. @SusanBEdelman @onesarahjones #ReOpenClass

This week, @NYCMayor rejected a state proposal that could have averted public school closures. How much more are we going to take away from our children? @JimmyVielkind @katie_honan #ReOpenClass
