Here is what I think about online learning in K-12:
Don’t.
Just don’t.
It’s a horrible idea.
First of all, the teachers are completely untrained, they have no experience with this kind of teaching, and they will do more harm than good.
Kids need to use the quarantine to play outside, stay active, explore nature, play imaginative games, read/watch whatever interests them and not, I repeat, NOT stare at screens all day in a ridiculous, meaningless parody of learning.
My 10-year-old niece is in front of a screen for hours, doing some stupid “online learning” crap instead of playing outside. Or inside, whatever. Just sitting next to a sibling watching cartoons would be healthier than this.
There’s absolutely nothing anybody needs to learn so urgently that it can’t wait for a couple of months.
I just read that one of the reasons Democrats are holding up the stimulus is because they want funding for more broadband for rural schools to do online learning.
Finally, a generation of kids has a chance to stave off childhood obesity and those idiots want to offer equal opportunity for kids to get obese and depressed.
