Why is this being posed as either closing the schools and kids get no education or making kids go to school with expensive mitigations, and masks, etc. Why hasn't there been a serious effort at converting to online learning just like the transitions that happening around working remotely?

- danielfoster 6y agoMany students don't have the right type of environment at home for online learning. I am not an expert in this area but would imagine it is much more diffcult to learn online as a 6-year-old versus a 16-year-old. There are also a lot of skills beyond academics students best learn through direct social interaction.
- ahupp 6y agoI have two young children who spent the last few months in online learning. Online learning requires more attention span than most children have available, and I haven't seen a program that's simultaneously a) engaging, and b) does as good of a job teaching as a teacher. Honestly, a big part of this is the social pressure of 21 other classmate sitting there paying attention.
