I guess this is my followup question is, would your opinion change if we replaced “remote learning” with “no school”? Remote learning largely doesn’t work, and I think the fact that it’s seen as an option is warping the conversation.
Now, maybe schools really should close even if remote learning was off the table, because the situation described in the link is quite dire. But see, then I look around, and I see that indoor dining is still open, movie theaters are still open, and a significant portion of Broadway is still open. Schools seem more important than all of that stuff. Maybe we should figure out whatever it is the restaurants are doing?
- caddemon 5y agoDo you consider cramming 14 classes worth of students in to an auditorium for "study hall" an education?
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoNo. I'm asking why the public schools are in this state while restaurants seem to be operating normally, and a lot of private schools seem to be operating normally. I can imagine some perfectly reasonable answers. If it's an unsolvable, we should close the schools, and maybe shorten next year's summer break or something. But I do think having "remote learning" as a dangling option is warping the discussion. It's not a real fix.
