[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see sooo many teachers commenting in various places that they’re worried about getting the virus so don’t think schools should resume in person.

Ok fine. If that happens? How many math teachers does a school really need? One per grade to put together the content. The online programs like Khan Academy do everything else including teaching and grading. This goes for the programs that my kids’ science and Spanish teachers are using as well.

If school continues online for the next however many years, won’t there be a massive lay off of teachers? Why are they not more worried about their jobs?[/quote]

They'll need more than one math teacher per grade. Non-educators think this process is so easy.  Picking a Khan Academy video and posting it online is not teaching.  If you think it is, please pull your student from school and homeschool them (for real).  [/quote]

Actually, my DC's math teacher in Pre-Calc Honors (FCPS) which features project-based learning rarely actually teaches--she tells students to figure out the concepts within their assigned group or to use Khan Academy. We've had to hire a math tutor to actually provide math instruction to my DC. [/quote]
