I don't necessarily.  And again - I'm a former teacher.

Online instruction is process that takes years to learn.  If the systems aren't training teachers - or if only a few are trained, either from schooling or from the system itself - then they should NOT be forced to instruct online.  It's a disaster and no one benefits.

You want them working over the summer to make it up?  If so, [b]good luck convincing parents to forgo that lavish vacation.[/b]  Who's getting them to school?  the yellow bus?  What about magnet programs and their crazy routes?  What about teachers' vacations, too?  daycare for teachers' kids?  a perk of being a teacher (b/c Lord knows they can't recruit them or keep them) - being home with our kids during vacations . . .

Most parents don't have lavish vacations, and the ones who do, can figure out whether they want to forgo the lavish vacation or not.

The only complicated part is fiscal - how to pay people now, while there isn't school, and then also pay them later, when there wouldn't be school under ordinary circumstances.[/quote]
