[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand HOW the frequent AEM posters have so much free time on their hands (posting the exact same drivel or vitriol, week after week)! Are they all SAHMs or are they work-from-home types cheating their employers?

I surf on occasion but rarely post. On several occasions, I suggested if AEMers have so much concern about "equity" in education, they could volunteer to help out FRL students and schools. (no responses)[/quote]
I think you’ve hit on a key aspect of this.  While it’s not a universal truth, those who feel that virtual schooling is working well tend to be those with a SAHP with the free time to devote as much time as is needed to facilitating their kids’ educations, so their kids aren’t feeling the drawbacks of virtual schooling as much.  Those households that don’t have a SAHP (or have one that also has other competing needs and therefore not as much free time) are more likely to have work (or other) needs competing with their school-aged kids’ needs, at everyone’s expense (including the parents).  Since the latter are generally feeling the negative impacts of virtual learning much more severely than the former, they are more likely to support a return to in-person learning.  But they also don’t have as much time to post about it on the internet all day.[/quote]
