[quote=Anonymous]"New poster. Workbooks are dandy for elementary. But they do nothing actually to instruct MS and especially HS students. Rote learning is beloved by some but it doesn't prepare students very well for college. I'll definitely agree that for a few days it's fine just to read and respond to the reading etc. but considering we can expect highly contagious Delta to keep kids out longer and keep more kids out, well, some students could end up with a large amount time spent doing of textbook-and-workbook "education." So much for learning critical thinking, discussion skills, group participation and group project skills that are important for college and/or employment. Let's get more aggressive about masking and distancing and requiring vaccines for ALL rather than caving in to the idea that, oh well, have those workbooks ready." MS/HS should be following CDC reccs and not mandating quartantining for kids who can prove they are vaccinated. If they do that, the biggest quartantine risk is for ES kids. [/quote]
