[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the people pushing for DL — be they teachers, staffers, parents, or whoever — honestly feel that DL is an adequate substitute for children? Self/driven adults seeking pro dev? Sure! But kids? Can you honestly say that? And at what age and for how many hours a day do you think this is true? Straight answers, please — no “it’s better th an nothing” or “we all have to sacrifice.” Really answer the question.[/quote]

I do feel that DL is a satisfactory substitute in these times. My children were in 5th and 8th, and they took charge of their meeting calendars, their homework, etc. The elementary student had about 2 hours a day between the class meeting and the homework. I would prefer that had been more like 3 hours. The middle schooler had maybe a little more, and again I would have preferred a little more. Things they really missed were instrumental music and going to the library. But in no way was this a big disaster or joke for us. They missed their friends, but they kept learning. Subtracting out the bus ride, lunch, recess/PE, and travel time between classes, kids honestly only get maybe 3 hours of instruction a day at school anyway.

I don’t have a younger elementary student so I can’t speak to that.[/quote]
