[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I’m not defending DL. It was appallingly deficient. [b] But doesn’t safety trump education at the moment? [/b] Candidly, I think schools should up their DL game but essentially plan for this year to not count. I suggest no grades, and just repeat the grade level next year—at least for math and foreign language which cannot be self taught. Nobody is learning calculus via DL, and Spanish instruction was a joke. [/quote] That depends on how you define "safety," doesn't it? If "safety" began and ended with covid, then yes, keep the schools closed. But "safety" does not begin and end with covid. As for repeating the year, how would that work? Twice as many kindergartners next year? Nobody graduates from high school until next year? Why have remote instruction at all this year? It would be cheaper to throw in the towel and concede that a whole generation of kids will just be dumber. Sorry, kids.[/quote]
