[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's as bad as a "surgeon with a butter knife" out in the woods, your metaphor would suggest that what the teachers are doing is basically useless. If that's the case, furlough the teachers. What are taxpayers paying for?[/quote]

Not as effective doesn't mean useless. Use any metaphor you like -- I'd rather have a skilled person with lesser tools than no skilled person at all. Others may feel differently but the reality is until there is a real threat of furloughing or reducing teaching staff, there won't be much progress made with getting the majority of teachers back (until there's a vaccine).

Many kids are learning some just not as much as they would be in regular school. Tax dollars are paying for distance learning, school staff salaries, laptops, curriculum purchases, etc. If the usefulness/productivity of education is the measure of whether taxpayers should pay then there are numerous subgroups in DC that should have stopped paying long ago.
