We have observed that physical distancing children hurt a lot of children. It was a sacrifical experiment to try to save the elderly and weak.
When the virus leaked from the Wuhan laboratory and spread across the globe in a matter of months, we knew even then that children are not really at risk of dying from sars-cov-2.
Seems like the correct course of action for the times is to take education out of the hands of government.
I do not believe children should be left behind, but the dumbing down of society isn't going to work. Seems like a segment ripe for complete market disruption.
My 5th grader is learning algebra and we support him at home.
Naturally we will continue to look for resources for him outside of public indoctrination. Perhaps we will see countless real schools being formed across the nation.
I learned almost all I know from the Internet over my 36 years. If more injection mandates occur, especially for children in my region, I will pull my children out of government school.
In 2020 we did distance learning and my children thrived while so many another's back tracked regarding test scores.
Our children thrived because my wife and I work from home. They thrived because life at home, while not structured like school, is an on going homeschool-like experience.
I'm so grateful to have been able to see my children thrive in these times.
We have had a lot of set backs as a society but we will continue to rebuild, repair, and grow!
- dls2016 5y agoSounds like your child would have been fine in any system.
- foxhop 5y agoI have 3 children and they all come with very different personalities and skills, just like all people. My oldest is a freshman in high-school and he is very happy to be back in school, even with a mask all day and 6 feet apart in class and lunch, if it means seeing his friends and not being isolated (teachers treated the final wave of children doing distance learning last year horribly). I think he is relieved from being discriminated. Sounds like prison to me, but he wakes himself up and gets ready, and goes. Over all he appears happier. <3 My 5th grader wants to be homeschooled after going back.
- vanusa 5y agoWhen the virus leaked from the Wuhan laboratory and spread across the globe in a matter of months, If this is what gets "taught" around the dinner table at home ... then in such a house, all STEM education will be moot.
- foxhop 5y agoProve me wrong.
- CountDrewku 5y agoAll indications point to it coming from a laboratory even if they cannot pinpoint the exact one or 100% prove it. Statistically it's likely it came from the WUHAN lab, you know in the town it started. The correlation is too high to be ignored. The NIH has been caught funding gain of function there. So, sure go ahead and dismiss it as conspiracy but at this point you're the one sounding more like a conspiracy theorist by denying the ever growing evidence.
