Great! What about technical support? And adult supervision? Especially for younger kids and those with autism and other disorders that also include whatever degree of disruptive behavior deemed unacceptable to qualify for in person learning. Public education is free by law. It can't result in a parent having to give up their job, or it wouldn't be free. |
You’re free to think that, but you probably know it goes against modern understandings of the role of public education in society. |
Schools have always taught critical life skills. |
You're moving the goalposts. Socializing and cooperation and problem solving and other life skills are part of public education. |
Not childcare. |
Nobody is discussing removing school. |
Call it what you want, but your solution wouldn't work legally without taxpayer-paid supervision of children forced by the school district to learn remotely. |
Please read this post. I am a teacher and I would say that 9 out of 10 cases of disruptive behavior by a child with special needs it was easily avoidable by providing a more supportive environment. I don't mean anything major but just teachers who know how not to overreact or how to work behavior plans into their daily routines. Teachers need more education about this and more support from specialists who can come in and advise them. |
Is remote learning as effecitve as in person learning when it comes to learning socialization skills? |
Laws can be changed. |
Can you prove that it isn’t? |
Fun fact! The Supreme Court ruled 9 to 0 in 2017 that a public school district had to provide an autistic student with "severe behaviorial issues" a free and appropriate public education. Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District.
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act ("IDEA") required schools to provide students an education that is "reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances." |
Go find 218 votes in the House and 60 in the Senate for a platform of forcing disabled children to learn remotely then, I guess! |
No need for federal. |
Did they do virtual learning? |
