Can you say more about the format of remote learning in Australia? Age ranges? How much video per day? In my school district, they are looking at 4 hours (2, 2-hour blocks) of "live learning" in-person per day, for 5-6 year olds. I can't imagine they're doing that in Oz?

- cbo100 6y agoI can only assume they are talking about “school of the air”. Very much not the norm here, it’s very remote students hours from towns taking school remotely. It was 1 way or 2 way radio back in the day, now wiki says it’s 1 way video stream with 2 way voice. From wiki... “ Each student typically spends one hour per day receiving group or individual lessons from the teacher, and the rest of the day working through the assigned materials with a parent, older sibling or a hired home-stay tutor.”
- zelphirkalt 6y agoThis is interesting! These children might develop an amazing self-sufficiency or some advanced self-organization skills (if they manage to deal with it well). I often wonder how I myself would have turned out, if I had been taught this way or similarly.
