Interesting. What grade levels?
This seems to reflect that many of these folks seem to think what they are asked to learn is largely detached from their dat-to-day lives. I would agree with that assessment for high school students who are not college-bound.
Specifically, high school for these folks is a rehash of middle school, a simplified version of college prep (which is not relevant for folks not going to college), or both.
One thing that I have taken away from the quarantine is that the function of school as childcare is as much or more important than the function of school as a place to learn for many people.
- twblalock 6y agoThe people who told me this are elementary and junior-high teachers. The students are fairly young. They are all on social media though, which is why they all learned that the state won't hold students back this year.
- watwut 6y agoFairly young students are not motivated without personal contact and relationship. Which is more likely reason then fear of non existent threat of being hold back. They also can't organize to be at online lessons unless parents do that work.
