[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools that are using Zoom to deliver DL to young students are wasting everyone's time. My kid didn't sit still for storytime in his classroom, let alone at his house, in front of a screen. That's just not happening.

But, after watching my very young kids closely over the past six months, I firmly believe that educational TV is the way to go for now. Is it ideal? No. But given the circumstances, educational TV is educational enough that kids keep learning and entertaining enough that parents get a break to work or clean (or God forbid, sleep). And 98% of US homes have TVs. It won't be a hundred percent reach, but it's a heck of a lot better than what you get with computers.

Educational TV is a reasonable compromise under the circumstances. There's TONS of good programming out there too. It needs to be front-and-center in any educational plans for fall, particularly with young children.[/quote]

It doesn’t teach them to read, write or do math.  It’s fine for preschool and science, social studies (somewhat) and music for elementary ages.[/quote]
