Who cares? They were able to defeat Trump, and that’s all that matters.
Yeah? Hold that thought!

Happy, Fearpers?
“Consolidated schools” were designed to condition kids for assembly lines and cubicle hives.
There is absolutely no way on heaven, earth, or hell that online school has anything to do with education. And nobody but nobody wants to tell the truth that online school IS NOT SCHOOL, it is not education, and it’s killing brain cells on a scale never seen in history.
UN - BEL - FRICKEN - LIEVABLE!!!!
Online school has nothing to do with self-discipline and everything to do with programming children! PLEASE STOP supporting this deceitful travesty!!!!
Total BS with no evidence. It’s programming, not education and why television didn’t transform education the way many people expected. It provides information. Learning is an experience.
The congress has no clothes. "Leaders" aren't. The contract is broken. Who would take anything seriously anymore?
As for academics; it's been high priced babysitting and indoctrination for decades now and the kids on the street know better. They learned a lot since the lie of the Wuhanic Plague started; no one was making decisions based on real learning and science and that nothing they were going to learn in school would help them in the future dealing with government lies and control of their life.
You're on your own kids. The adults are out-powered by the Fascists and their childish minions who'll do their bidding no matter how stupid and no matter what it costs you.
Did anyone think there was any other outcome when so many running around the planet believe in nothing more than watching sports or living lives in fantasy land?
I was like that at my job, got lucky and was layed off in July. retired and enjoying it, working from home was nice but the constant video meetings and training was a drain.
I will digest all your excellent points and get back to you with my rebuttal...
Government officials can’t have it both ways. After they spent almost a year spreading fear-mongering crap over this disease, nobody should take their word at face value when we are told it’s safe to go back to work.
Here’s how that idiocy went at my former employer last summer:
MANAGEMENT: “We are bringing everyone back to the office on September 1st! Here are the conditions: For everyone’s protection you must do A, B and C (wear a face diaper, sit six feet apart, etc.) ... and you are not permitted to do X, Y and Z (no use of the refrigerator, no more than one person in the elevator at a time, etc.).”
STAFF: “In other words, it’s not safe to go back to the office. Screw that.”
I don’t think they’re ever going back to the office, and it will be reduced to about 10% of its previous size when the lease comes up for renewal.
Vote Democrat¡
One hundred and fifty years ago most people worked on farms. There wasn’t much manufacturing as we think of it today. No one said you needed to learn how to code. Twenty percent of the country was illiterate. About half of the kids in the country got no education whatsoever.
It was a different world.
When they lift the face mask, face shield and gloves mandate, as well as the social distancing mandate, teachers will be more than happy to return to the classroom. Not one iota before.
Teaching with all the COVID rules and restrictions is not teaching. Like I said, you try delivering content 6 to 8 hours a day covered in PPE. Let’s see how much knowledge is passed from yourself to whoever your are teaching. Or so you have a magic solution for the Kenny effect (all two-way communications sounds mumbled like it’s coming from Kenny for South Park).
Can’t teach when students are constantly asking you to repeat and repeat and you are constantly asking the students to repeat and repeat as well.
So no teaching is going on in any classroom at this time due to these communications problems.
In my state, the percentage of failing grades has doubled, and GPAs in general have fallen.
It’s not the lack of education in public schools.
It’s the isolation from forced lockdowns and “social distancing”.
You seem to have misread my post #5.
Good data point.
Not that it's good, mind you.
"Online school requires an entirely different mindset than the standard US curriculum"
Even though it's been many decades, one of the things I did that most of the people in my college prep courses did NOT do was take a typing class with the business education people.
One of the best decisions I ever made. There was only one other college prep person in the entire class of 35.
I used to be an engineer with real technical skills. Now I spend so much time on the phone I have a headset. Well, at least it let’s me bang out some prototype code while on yet another mind-numbingly stupid meeting that I have to be “at.”
You and me both.
1973 high school freshman...took a “Personal Tying” class.
One of the better decision of my life.
Followed closely by first lurking, then registering and posting on FR (thanks to links posted by my cousin) which led to learning a lot of basic html.
