These poor kids haven’t seen nothin’ yet. Wait until they’re adults and they get the $6 trillion tab for this cluster.

Would like to see a law passed to opt out, on line college is the wave of the future and will kill the rat scam they had running.

To the author: Come back when you’re ready to talk about Social Security and Medicare.

Standard liberal whining/talking points. Let me guess the answer is more money for schools.

On schedule, as intended. They are so much easier to control when they don’t know anything.

“Polish children only need to know how to read and write simple sentences, count up to five hundred and to obey their German masters.” - Heinrich Himmler, 1939

“We’re on board with that, more or less.” - teacher unions, 2020

Actually some kids are doing very well, those who self-actualize and have the benefit of intelligent home schooling in this hiatus. Most of the rest are doing about as well as they would have if normally attending school, not with any particular advancement, but not losing much of what they had already accumulated. There is a small fringe at the bottom, though, whom for losing the daily influence of the routine of school leaves them completely unstructured, and have no access or inclination to work at the home study even when available, online or by broadcast media. These children are forever forsaken, living on the outskirts of civilization, almost feral.

But these we have always had with us.

“For one thing, the school shutdowns will cripple children’s economic future by depriving them of up to an entire year of learning.”

This might be worrisome if there were anything remotely resembling education going on in the schools.

Opposition to deficit spending and to the coronavirus panic shutdown is a standard liberal talking point?

Hell, we are still paying for Roosevelt’s pie in the sky depression era extravaganza.

I was going to post something similar but I like the way you put it.

Also, its not so much about how much time the kids spend in school, its more a question of what they’re learning (i.e., the quality of the teaching and associated materials).

More time in skewl does not necessarily equal more useful learning. Its a false measure. In fact, too much time is wasted in the classroom indoctrinating kids in liberal ideology.

That $6 trillion tab should be taken from Communist China. All of it. Although many FReepers here disagree for various bull shot reasons. Perhaps they are agents for the ChiComs or just like Hunter Biden, made lots of money there.

All Americans (and other nations) are paying the price for the coronavirus and that’s unfair.

Why don’t we go to the source and demand reparations from Red China????

Hopefully the home school moment will get a big boost from this. I know the work from home thing has.

Maybe folks will wake up and take a sledgehammer to this bloated anachronism of an “educational system” we have in this country.

Depriving them of up to an entire year of learning.
Try 3 months not a year proof the school doesn’t work for everyone.
Most home schooled kids have better test scores then schooled ones do.
