Schools Reopen in Ithaca

David Foote interviews Aurora Rojer. Middle and high school teachers are required to teach classes with some students in the room and others online — frustrating. This has motivated teachers to get more involved in their union. The union has been at the decision-making table, but it could be more effective. Standardized tests, cancelled last year, are coming back, but maybe could be eliminated in the future. Students are becoming more radical. Aurora is also chair of Ithaca DSA, which has groups working on multiple projects. Recorded April 16, 2021.
