The first week of school has begun for a majority of students around the country. Students living in areas that have eased coronavirus restrictions will be allowed to learn in classrooms, while others will need computers in order to participate in online learning.
While online learning can keep students socially distant, some parents have expressed concerns over the real effectiveness of the practice.
One parent from Georgia shared a photo of her kindergartner on his first day of remote learning. In the photo, which went viral on Facebook, he appeared beyond frustrated while trying to learn online.
“I just took that picture because I wanted people to see reality. Then he came over, we hugged, and I was crying right along with him. Getting 5,000 emails a day from all their teachers, trying to keep up different apps, different codes, different platforms. Some links don’t work. You’re running from one laptop to another.” – Jana Coombs, parent.

As difficult as the school situation is, it is a Godsend. Now, finally, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and other assorted “guardians” are now exposed to that black hole called “public education.”
I’m not as worried about the kids not keeping pace with their grades as much as I am that this completely broken system will not be fully exposed and scrapped — along with their unions. This is one of the rarest opportunities that school choice could have ever had. That timeworn adage is true: To make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. A week or so ago there was a school administrator on Twitter worrying about not being able to indoctrinate those little minds with liberal principles. Let the school system wither and die.
Yeah, I’ll bet it’s because it’s difficult for the teachers to say what they want to the students when they think they might be observed by parents.

You know who else is saying it’s difficult, is teachers. They want more money because it’s difficult to develop lesson plans for their online students.
