[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]DP. The WTU rep is back! WTU rep, you are misrepresenting the facts. This isn't a matter of DL not being "the education parents want". This is a matter of DL not being effective as education. Sure, kids can still learn if parents step up and make sure your virtual teaching results in learning, but for most kids, "virtual learning" isn't happening to an acceptable degree. How come nobody in Europe thinks it's selfish of parents to want kids in school? It's because there is a broad consensus of experts who argue that kids NEED to be in school in order to learn effectively. In Germany, for instance, it was initially the national association of public school parents that was most skeptical about kids returning full-time, (irrationally) fearing for their health. It was the education professionals who said they must return to ensure public schools' mission of effectively educating everybody.[/quote]

I keep trying to report the poster you responded to. Here we are having a productive discussion, as has been the case in many threads, and this person chimes in with "what are you willing to do?" This discussion started out with compelling point, which is that educators and parents agree that in person learning is preferred over DL. No educator will tell you otherwise.

You "keep trying to report" posts that don't agree with your little self-created echo chamber.  They are not being removed because differing opinions have every bit as much value as yours, whether you like them or not or agree with them or not.

Not a teacher and SURE as hell not a "WTU rep" (LOL), but a parent who's sick to death of repetitive selfish whiners[/quote]

Well, answer the question?  What are you willing to do to get schools back open?  In Europe, multiple countries are under lockdown.  If you aren't willing to make sacrifices and get covid under control, you need to accept education is no DL.

Not everyone agrees that in person right now is preferred over DL.  I prefer DL.  I wish there was more to DL as 2 hours per class a week isn't enough but given we have 8 classes it realistically is the best they can do.[/quote]
