I’m in CA, with two teens in a public “good” high school. Since March 16th, teachers have been posting an assignment or two ONCE A WEEK and calling it a day. They also waited a week to start this, still had a “spring break” and are ending school a week early (no attempt at any final exams). They also switched to pass/no pass, disappointing my daughter who had all As (my son had no complaints :)
And now are threatening more of the same for the fall.
I’ve had it with the leftist indoctrination that got worse every year, and now this flat out lack of instruction and not caring.
Yesterday I contacted a nearby small Christian high school and applied for my kids to attend in the fall. The classes look good, I can afford it, it’s Christian, it’s likely not leftist, and it’s smaller and so can likely cope better with any “pandemic modifications” needed in the fall.
I’ve noticed the smaller private K-12 and universities are planning to open in person in the fall, while the large public institutions aren’t. My teens wants to stay as far away from “online education” for the rest of their academic careers as possible. It’s subpar.
Education Reform, let’s start November 2020.
That's what-I'm-talkin'-'bout! There's a silver lining to everything.
Hopefully, many families will decide that only one parent go back to work and the other stay home and REALLY teach the kids.
Hopefully.
I cannot remember if Governor Inslee made that decision, or if it was made locally.
“While that may be important to some people, the American founders didn’t give their lives, liberties, and mutual honor to secure transfer payments. ”
The system has become a misshapened monster.
Time to review our business model of education. Best thing that could happen is a rerouting of public funds from old institutions to home school/on-line eduction.
A co-worker, who calls herself independent, but always seems to lean liberal, was on FB talking about how her 10 year old LOVES CNN 10. CNN 10 watching was assigned by his teacher. Now he watches it every day and loves it.
At first I thought CNN 10 stood for CNN for 10 year-olds, but then I checked it out and found: “CNN 10 replaced CNN Student News, the network’s longest-running show that first aired in 1989. CNN 10 serves an audience interested in compact on-demand news broadcasts - either on the go or in the classroom.” So, basically they think it’s good to scale their (communist) message in a short, easy grade school format in order to help their dumb viewers understand.
I’m wondering if the teacher also assigned an alternative site to view every day. Hahaha, what am I thinking?? The sad thing is that this co-worker mom is cheering on her son watching this propaganda. She sometimes has lucid moments (one of the first liberals that I know to question the ongoing quarantine), so there is hope.
**I Don’t Fund Schools So They Can Provide Child Care
Amid this confusion, let’s be very clear:
There is no legitimate justification for billing taxpayers for other people’s child care.**
BTTT!
