Covid conclusively proved that online schools are for poor people who want to be stuck in perpetual poverty.
Rich people will obviously pay for in-person schooling and reap the future job prospect rewards.

- eropple 4y agoCan you share an example of one that you would consider better than in-person schooling, rather than merely functional?
- parrellel 4y agoConnections Academy's been doing fine by my kids so far, the one that's old enough for it has been getting decent mid-90ths on the state assessments. It's running a Pearson based curriculum that allows for a decent amount of flexibility and one-on-one teacher interaction. No blockers for working ahead, decent comprehension checks. Lots of opportunities to go off into the weeds. The big drawback is it does need a parent to help teach it at the younger years, so I get to do most of my coding at night during the school year, but I haven't had any complaints so far.
