How’s Cuba?
“...For some parents, it’s the latest disappointment in pandemic-era learning: more virtual learning, no teacher in the room....”
****************************************************************
No teacher in the room but teachers “working” from home drawing full salaries and benefits as well as continuing to “earn” retirement longevity and pay raises. Ain’t life grand!
Public schools have existed for 150 years, while humans have inhabited the earth for millennia.
How did kids survive in the olden days?
How are they being harmed now?
Here’s a hint: They’re not.
JFK’s true legacy is teacher and other government worker unions. They are the single greatest cause of tax increases and have been the tip of the socialist spear that is tearing apart American culture.
Can anyone believe this bullshit?
There are several counties in the DC area that plan to have teachers park their ass at home while the students are in the classroom.
And, one wonders, how does this work? Because the teachers unions want the government to hire A MONITOR FOR THE CLASSROOM DURING THE DAY!!
I’m sorry, but doesn’t this just a little bit smack OF ELITISM??
Private school teachers show up. Public—no. The students are starting to slowly return to school but with subs—teachers won’t come back in CA and are streamed to a screen on the wall or to the students’ laptops.
I find video instruction to be fantastic tool. Some tutorials I have used extensively and have allowed me to do things I never would have attempted without these video tutorials. Some of which includes designing and building a remote controlled optical observatory and diagnosing/repairing solid state amplifiers.
I see the entire teaching world going video remote. There will always be some hands on teaching, but for the most part, video is real hard to beat, regardless if it’s a lecture or techniques to precisely polar align an equatorial mounted telescope. I would say video/remote teaching is going to get very big regardless of viruses or pandemics.
Any teacher not back in the classroom should be laid off or even fired. Let them fend for themselves like the rest of us instead of being paid month-after-month to stay home or wherever they might travel. Over a year of taxpayer paid vacation and count.
Wow! If you thought teachers sucked when they DID show up for work, you ain’t seen nothing yet!!
Every stinkin teacher in this country should be fired and all our property tax to support the leeches unpaid. They’re disgusting.
Lazy teachers.
Most people are more interested in the subsidized babysitting, getting the kids our of their hair so they can work, than they are in education. How else can you explain allowing your kids to be sent to indoctrination centers for 8 or more hours a day?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
