K-12 schools serve two purposes - to educate students and to provide child care during the day.
Clearly remote learning isn’t going to work when it doesn’t solve the second need.
- asdf333 6y agoi think you hit on a point that means if kids are independent enough, then it can work. so it probably works fine for juniors and seniors in hs and is horrendously bad for kindergarteners
- poulsbohemian 6y agoThere's a third leg to the stool: Food and general welfare. Our local PTA has long put together meal / clothing care packages to send home with kids in need, but even before our distance learning program kicked in, the schools made sure to be open to provide meals for kids in need. Maybe this isn't the case everywhere, but in districts like ours with a high number of kids at the poverty level, schools are a significant provider of meals / health and welfare checks.
