That was always a better idea. So what makes you think now is the time the world will move from its entrenched tradition and over to something more rational?

- alexmingoia 6y agoOver time people will avoid spending their time and money on something that provides little value. It's already happening. The generation growing up now has learned (the hard way) that tests and grades have little value in the real world. That it's a game, one that they don't enjoy and they don't need to win. COVID-19 has just accelerated this by moving schools online and laying them bare. Online there's no having lunch together, flirting, or getting dressed up. Online there's none of the things that made school more than a test. As the schools move online people see the emperor has no clothes.
- watwut 6y agoHonestly, my experience of school was not just listening obediently as much as people make it to be here. And talking with my kids, the school was not like that to them - they miss the interactive parts of class. Now that homework is send by mail, bulk of it is like you describe. But the zoom classes are not like that and based on what my kids claim, it was not as dry in person. Maybe there are completely dystopian schools where no communication is going on. Everything exists somewhere. But it is just not true that it is universal experience of school.
