[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is more to education than the classroom. Think of the trauma students have experienced this year: a global pandemic, murders of Black and Brown people across the country, environmental disasters for those with family in different states or countries, increased crime across the city, death of family members for some, etc. Distance learning is one more drop in the overflowing bucket our children are carrying. You all hate on the “lazy” teachers but their influence is minimal in circumstances like these.

Repeat after me: global pandemic [/quote]

are you actually trying to minimize the school closures? wow. talk about giving up on kids. [/quote]

The school closure is the most significant impact of the pandemic for most kids![/quote]

Disagree. If you’ve lost family members to gun violence or you’ve experienced the social injustices directly - not just talk about it on your ‘woke’ social media - you’d understand that death and loss affect kids more than going to school on a computer. Social workers, counselors, psychologists are all seeing kids virtually. I know because my kid is one receiving services. Sit down and don’t speak for me.[/quote]

I mean, there is actual resesrch on online learning prior to this showing it doesn’t work well. So yes “going to school on a computer” is inferior for all kids, and will increase the gap even more.
