Learning pods are going to be better for most kids and certainly safer during COVID. As more parents come home to happier kids, the narrative that this is all somehow evil will intensify.pic.twitter.com/gysaw10tn2
Many families will experiment with community pods out of necessity: keeping kids home every other weekday or cutting days in half just won't be feasible for most working parents. But I predict that so many kids will start thriving in pods that schools will entice very few back.
The subtle issue that I'm not sure how to resolve *well* is that if you have a 6-kid pod, I eyeball that as 5% of all employed Americans being teachers. And if you have 30 kid pods, it beats 1500-kid schools, but the chem *lab* was a lab for a reason.
The public education system already employs a tremendous number of people, many of whom do no direct instruction. I've mostly lost the sense that K-12 system is efficient even if the only metric is a freed up labor force.
yes! I fully support this! especially with the shit show that the average public school system is. this will also allow parents to play some geoarbitrage and live wherever they please - given they’re now not at the wim of good public or private school locations
image that 6 kids who would normally go to private school (us avg $10,969\tear) would allow to create a $65k teacher salary and they could be a private contractor and take home much more wages smart idea to create a private health care system for these new teachers soon
I disagree. One reason why is look at the private school market. If learning pods were better for most kids, then why do wealthier parents send their kids to private schools instead of these pods?
Size? Those private schools are about 100-400 Ss. Pods, as I've seen them described, are 10-20 Ss. Same exclusivity and same opportunity to turn up your nose at those who can't afford them, though.
I can't help but worry that my home school will be made illegal by the time we're done with this episode.
basically it's groups of families pooling money for a group tutor?
Some do that, some just rotate through the parents (more feasible for younger kids)
