Learning pods are ad hoc arrangements today, but if this persists, it will be interesting to see how many parents convert permanently to homeschooling cooperatives. Heck, some suburbanites will finally have found a good use for those spare rooms in their McMansions, which can become fully appointed, well equipped classrooms for a cluster of kids in the neighborhood. My prediction is that many of these that are supervised by gifted tutors will far outperform the conventional public school norm, due to fewer distractions, far less wasted time, fewer disciplinary problems, and more individualized instruction. A lot of parents may never go back.
Precicely what liberal educators are terrified of.
Imagine the learning that could occur when 90% of resources aren't spent on the two or three incorrigable kids in class who just can't get right.
A lot of Children parents may never refuse to go back.
