That’s funny and all that, but no. There are many many many many many parents who can’t afford anything better than public schools. That’s very unfortunate. I know many parents who are in a situation where teachers are pretty much checked out. Their kids are suffering, greatly, they’re going to end up losing almost 2 full years of ANY education, even for as mediocre as it would’ve been. No. This never should’ve stood. Ever. We should’ve fought this tooth and nail and we didn’t. Yes parents can do more to interfere and help out at home, get their kids a better education, of course we know that. But you also do realize that there are some parents who are horrible, or not very intelligent, or not very organized, many of them are even well-meaning but incompetent. It’s unfair for their kids. And we allowed this.
Did you know that kids in elementary school rely on SEEING mouth movements to learn how to speak properly? Masks are even interfering with that. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of children are behind in their speech development because of masks. We never should’ve allowed this to happen. Ever. We should have fought and we didn’t. In fact our own “representatives” all of them, I’m excusing no one, not even the White House, rolled over and played along with the hysteria. Nothing that has taken place in the last four years is more damaging than what is taking place with coronavirus lies and hysteria. Nothing.
You make a very powerful point. I know all of this and share your outrage. My flippant comment was meant to point out the awful brainwashing that happens in schools, but your point is easily more important.
Ya the issue is younger children. Once reading abilities are decent, textbooks are better at teaching than most teachers. Just takes more dedication and hard work.
I never needed a teacher except for math. Just give me the book and then lets discuss the pros, cons, and how it affects society. Sesame Street taught me how to read and count before I even went to kindergarten.
My dad is an engineer and the only reason I passed math tests was cuz of his tutoring me. You think you can learn algebra in a class of 35 kids who can't behave right before lunch? It's damn near impossible.
My parents had a computer and had some of those Jumpstart games before I was even in school. They were shocked when they found out I knew how to read and do math before preschool.
Good for you. There are a lot of children who are suffering that just aren’t as cool as you are I guess. There’s no one to stick up for them, they are voiceless. This never should’ve been allowed to happen. Ever. But good for you, tough guy, I’m glad you don’t need the public education that is the only thing some kids parents can afford.
My kids will never step foot in public - but we’re fortunate. Many kids aren’t.
But that’s OK, while we were rolling over for coronavirus hysteria there were some spicy tweets from the White House. That makes up for it. Spicy tweets!
I grew up so poor in the Bronx that I would have to sleep in full winter gear in the winter and did my homework by candlelight many times. There was nothing lucky about my childhood. Other than a love of books instilled by my family that allowed me to educate myself into college level reading and comprehension by 5th grade.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the student were better off with them not showing up.
I don't think this is even in question.

We failed the children.

This must have been before Sesame Street became cucked.
Haha I love your comments!
Thank you, Fren! :)

Hey same here! As for gaming, Wolfenstein 3D was my first game. Started off hardcore.

Your condescending attitude towards friends in this community is kind of disgusting.

Yikes. The breathing goes all the way in.
Home schooling baby!
