I understand they have shareholders they need to placate. But, I don't think opening up when the positive rate is 18% on the metro Orlando area, is a wise idea.

They have realized that virtual learning doesn't work and wants kid back in the classroom where they will learn. As u know america doesn't exactly match up to the rest of the world in education. For all the money we spend on education this country is pretty dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Florida kids already opt for that route in high school. Their graduation rates are comparable to the kids that attend regular school. If my kids were still in school, I would lobby my employer to work from home, and have them do virtual learning for the upcoming school year. That way I could properly supervise them. No way would I expose them to the risks of attending regular classes right now. Just not wort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt they got very little out of it and it just simply didn't work for them. And that's at the college level There is no way it will work for elementary or middle school students and I could only imagine the amount of HS students that would struggle Plus with online services the amount of kids with an IEP would never get the extra accommodations they are entitled too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on who their parents are, on their innate ability, and the extent to which they were exposed to books and mathematics at an early age. Unfortunately, the poor would suffer the most, as in general, their parents are least able and likely to provide the environment and resources for it to work.

The amount of kids in the local school district that have IEP are pretty substantial. More and more people cannot help their kids and rely on their kids getting help at school.

But that did not stop me getting an education. My kids started with the advantage of having parents that both had graduate degrees. They got them because they saw the value of an education. I live in a fairly modest neighborhood. I realize that many of the kids here would have difficulty with on-line learning. Hell, they already have difficulty with in-school learning. School should not be a place to baby sit kids. It should be a place where they are taught meaningful things that benefit them when they grow up. Education in the USA is failing miserably in this endeavor. It particularly hurts the working class and below. I am glad that my K-12 was not done here. It may sound arrogant of me, but I believe I got a better education out of the Jamaican public school system than if I had gone to public school here.
