      As far as I can tell, the overwhelming social science consensus is that remote learning works better the older you are. Small kids need socialization, teens & YA can learn remotely. So why the big push to open colleges but scant resources for grade schools?

      To underscore the point: if social policy were guided by what's best for everyone, there would be a massive investment in making grade school education safe & allowing colleges to be remote. The economic priorities & essentially privatized response to pandemic means opposite.

          Grade school education has never been safe. It's also never been "education." It's been using state power to assemble children, away from their parents, in a format where various special interests have easy access to them.

          Have you heard much in regards to the community and junior college system? My son's is starting remote but I can't hardly find any stories on a large scale about them.

          Colleges must compete in a marketplace for students. If they go remote, they lose revenue. Public K-12 has a captive student pool that can’t leave and is controlled by a self-serving union with outsized political control, and unions have dictated remote learning. School choice!

          Yes. As I suggested earlier, use all school buildings for in-person K-8; let 9-12 work remotely.

          Been saying this since June. The only exception for older students are for types of practicum classes/supplementals like lab work, dance, art req studio, etc. Focus resources where learning obj most likely to be met.

          i don't need to tell you this, but if social policy were guided by what's best for everyone, homelessness, poverty, and hunger would barely exist in this country
