The Wall Street Journal had a piece yesterday about how New York City was coping with the shutdown. It showed a teacher helping a child use a laptop (no social distancing). The laptop had a sticker on it that said, “We choose #SchoolEquity, not the false promise of School Choice.”
The WSJ is very pro-school choice, so I’m sure they chose that photo to make a point about the school system’s “great teachers.”
I was talking to an old friend who is a leftist imbued with the leftist doctrine of the day.
She was telling me how the schools in her leftist state were trying to figure out how to manage, since they could not teach any child any more than any of the other children because learning pace has to be EQUAL. So the work would be to maintain what they have learned so far, and not to teach ANYTHING NEW. For that would violate the rules of equality.
the story Harrison Bergeron came to mind. TC sometimes I weep for the future of the children and the culture.
