RE: Quarantine Diaries: Day 145

At least one district has opted for schizophrenia, opening elementary schools but doing online for secondary schools.

While I am still very much skeptical about the overall dangers - especially for the young - this might not be too bad, as older kids can handle the online approach without supervision - whereas younger would still need parental support. However, it makes a mockery of the "risk" argument :)

Sort:  

The younger kids can still be carriers and infect their grandparents but,yeah,older kids especially the motivated ones will probably do okay with virtual schooling. But a quite a few of the school districts here were clearly waiting for the governor to make a clear decision. He opted not to.

Hence the mockery :)

Now, the next thing to consider is the relevance of school as it now stands and how this move is essentially priming for virtual schooling, which will be far cheaper and further degrade results for those who are unable to afford direct contact. Luckily, most of the young kids today won't have the possibility to work anyway....
