I would argue learning from home wouldn’t be “just as good” but would often times actually be better. Especially in todays climate where academics are taking a back seat to other priorities. I find it strange you chose that as the topic, care to elaborate why you think that?
- fullshark 4y agoI chose it because I found it illustrative, given the whiplash we experienced on the merits of it in the last 2 years. There's now a lot of people writing papers about learning loss and how children have fallen behind. The vast majority of parents I believe agree that learning from home was clearly inferior in a multitude of ways. And yet you want to debate it, so I guess it's also illustrative of my main point, that if people want to believe something, they will slice and dice data or subjectively add/remove nuance and skepticism to key evidence in order to reach desired conclusions.
- cassac 4y agoOhhhhhhh, I see. You are talking about distance learning and I thought you were talking about home schooling. So no need to debate as I agree distance learning is garbage for most kids and most teachers.
- fullshark 4y agoYeah didn't occur to me to use "distance learning" instead of "homeschooling" and I caused some confusion, my mistake.
