Can we be honest for a second? No, they won’t. Our education system is a mess and this is just a drop in the bucket. Kids can probably learn more from YouTube videos than from some burnt out union teacher.
DUH, THEY STILL HAVE TO UNLEARN COMMIE CORE MATH FIRST.
No disrespect meant, on my part, to America, but when your system gets results by graduation on par with some African countries, you’re not losing out on much by losing a year of math.
This is a good opportunity to get the TEA out so that the states can assume responsibility again for educating the children.
Reason # 1,264,678,522 to Homeschool, and do so year-round.
The real fear is that children may learn HOW to think instead of WHAT to think ... and that is terrifying to ‘educators.’
So here comes some more H1B trash and foreign student trash to take more American jobs and college slots. All while Americans become serfs in their own country.
Loss of one year of Common Core is no loss, it’s a gain.
What good is math if you can’t even make change or tell the time?
Assuming the corona virus is a minimal threat by June 1, then it seems prudent to me that schools should start 6 weeks early this year.
July 1 seems like a good day for the kids to go back to school and catch up on their education that was disrupted in March, April, and May.
I know that online classes are happening as a replacement for in-classroom teaching. But even with online classes, the education system was disrupted.
Another advantage of kids going back to school on July 1, is to give the parents a breather from having their kids at home during the day for March, April, and May.
Bring the nuns back!
Common core and modern teaching are a travesty. The smart kids will always figure it out on their own, but the majority need the old ways and teachers anyway.
And disband all higher ed schools of education, including especially courses in teaching reading, writing, ‘rithmetic, and recounting of our culture and history.
when my kiddos were in school and home in the summer, I would buy books in math and whatever they were studying for them to work on.
if they were still little and home that is certainly what i would be doing now
... OTOH, the way they teach mathematics in public schools these days is insane. The kids are probably better off figuring it out on their own. Math is a course that — with a little guidance — can be self-taught. It’s perfect for online teaching unlike a lot of the hands-on science courses.
But we will continue to pay teachers not to teach
Nah, they’ll just be behind in learning about queers, gender ambiguity and putting rubbers on bananas.
1. Will anyone notice?
2. That’s OK, they can still find work as disease modelers.
LOL. They still teach math? I thought the time was shifted to putting condoms on bananas and other LGBTQuakie issues.
Parents makentye best teachers.
This may be a blessing. Maybe they unlearn the 4 steps to add 1+1.
They need to go back to school. How are their parents going to go back if the kids are home? And teachers get 6 months off? Really?
If the kids are in public school, they lose 12 grades over 12 years, so this doesn’t seem like much of a hit.
