This is the best summary I could come up with:
I don’t think that we passed this test,” David Banks said at a news briefing, adding that he felt "disappointed, frustrated and angry" as a result of the technical issues.
NYC Public Schools did a lot of work to prepare for the remote-learning day, Banks said, but shortly before 8 a.m. they were notified that parents and students were having difficulty signing on to remote learning.
“IBM was not ready for prime time,” Banks said, adding that the company was overwhelmed with the surge of people signing on for school.
On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams said parents who are not willing to navigate computers for their children’s remote learning represent “a sad commentary.”
Adams defended his words Tuesday, saying they were related to a specific question he was asked about parents who do not want to sign on to remote learning.
Adams also blamed IBM for Tuesday’s remote-learning issues, saying he hopes the company will be able to provide the product the city is paying it for.
