Many school districts are in remote learning for students in an era where there is a lot of reason for parents not to trust them to teach their kids as it is being that material is controversial. Some students attend special education, part or full time and can’t or don’t do remote learning being some of such programs are still open, which shows of no real reason to close any school. Indeed, there are educators who don’t consider the many children to be behind from only remote learning, and it will be almost impossible to make up 6-7 days the way special ed speeds through their lessons.
In school districts nationwide, thousands of educators and administrators are out on sick leave, using their sick days pointlessly. It is never a good idea, as many parents and others have found, to go remote even if teachers get their full pay while leaving thousands of students remote while non-sick educators want to be in the classroom. Of course, this is all decided by teachers’ unions and school boards, who use COVID as an excuse not to work as their supposed “retaliation” for teachers not receiving satisfactory pay of past time. This is a big loss to the kids, and the many good teachers who do what they do because they love their students and love teaching.
It is startling that nobody has started privatized public school systems nowadays, run strictly by parents. Some worry that it’s too costly unless we have vouchers while we at work, or that can’t afford it. Some worry that taxes alone for some in their area are too high and not with property taxes included. Many attorneys may give the wrong advice or not take on the case at all, because they are thinking in their own best interest and not the interest of the children.
It doesn’t have to be this way. It only takes the same method as starting a neighborhood watch or a carpool. All the parents that are already homeschooling their children consolidate their resources and it grows as other parents join and contribute material. It worked for my daughter and her friends and we did this right in Manhattan. At the time, there were no lockdowns or mandates and people didn’t think it was needed. Now we know how important it is to work past the system.
Another big reason for school “COVID-19” closures is with the idea that the abstinence in classroom learning could entice parents to let the schools teach their kids what the schools boards want, and thus, taking power away from the parents. This is why many school boards don’t want to listen to parents.And so, homeschooling has become popular.
