In spite of national and state level legislation aimed to standardize schooling, the reality is that education tends to be a local product. That is - I’ve heard bad stories from parents in parts of the country and world, but locally our kids really didn’t experience much negative. Our superintendent ordered chromebooks and hot spots for the district in December 2019 (!!!) because he was so afraid of what was coming. We are just a rural 30,000 person community so it may have been a lot easier for us to mobilize than other places. My own three kids are very different types of students, but it wasn’t a bad experience for any of the three. It was actually a blessing for my youngest - she was able to set her own schedule each day and as a result jumped way ahead academically. Now that we are back in the classroom, I definitely see more sleep and quality of life issues.
- andi999 5y agoI think your superintendent ordering chromebooks in dez 2019 is great, but how did he know. Basically the first whistle blowing was on 30.12.19 : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang
- quartesixte 5y agoApparently rumors were afloat on certain sites towards the middle of December. But parent post could also just have gotten dates pushed backwards or forwards a bit.
- andi999 5y agoDo you have links to these certain sites/more info?
- quartesixte 5y agoUnfortunately, the best I have is a screenshot of a weibo screen inside a discord server that is now defunct so no luck on getting that out.
- andi999 5y agoThanks. Can you see what date is the weibo screen is from?
- baq 5y agoDon’t remember the detailed timeline, but there were popular subreddits with reports from China and individual people were definitely taking action. Even r/wsb was in on the stock market crash back in January.
