Remote Schooling Challenges

Many students don't have the right type of environment at home for online learning. I am not an expert in this area but would imagine it is much more diffcult to learn online as a 6-year-old versus a 16-year-old. There are also a lot of skills beyond academics students best learn through direct social interaction.

It's been the same for my kids.Another thing I've noticed is that post-covid they've come home from school with more stories of the teachers just putting on videos and having the kids watch that, or else they just read crap on their tablets. What I'm saying is, it seems like education has also changed post-covid. It's like the teachers are still remote-teaching even though everybody's in the classroom.This is public school, and maybe that's how they do it

My son's school started remote classes this week. More than a third are missing in action. Naturally it is the third that benefited the most from the structure and support of school.

I agree with you, but I think it overstated the value of schooling as the only source of this development. There are so many free online education sources it is truly amazing, and yet for some reason our society’s answer to the pandemic was to have Zoom school at home which no one is happy with, rather than embrace different delivery methods that are actually engaging. Khan Academy, Duolingo, etc etc. I don’t think my kids are behind at all as a result of utilizing these technologies.

"I genuinely can't tell if this is some sort of meta-ironic take but no, just no. The vast majority of even elementary school childrens' lives are being moved online slowly but surely, and whether you like it or not they are going to have to pull out that laptop or phone for hours a day, can you sit and watch them for that entire time? "I don't know about others and I can't speak for the parent post, but I am planning home schooling, which will be harder, but I t

I was a special education teacher for a decade in both private and public settings. I worked with children of all school ages who had difficulties keeping up. I'm also a parent.A thought: students are expected to learn to function together in classroom settings over the course of their first few years in school. It's a gradual and often tedious process for everyone involved. How many children say they like sitting in class? It's a heavily researched subject. Some students never

Did they control for distance learning with kids?

I often monitor centralized / decentralized waves in society, but this one caught me by surprise.ps: I'm now wondering if this will have the same benefits as remote work. School can be wonderful but also massively damaging. Having ways to learn without bullies, or toxic teachers .. could make a big difference for many.

My 14 year old son, didn't take to online learning at all well (we're in Finland - the school already used google classroom and a lot of online technologies and had all the resources and training they needed). It seemed to be the lack of attention both ways - the teacher can't really see how well the students are understanding the information and the students are perhaps taking less in (maybe the youtube/snapchat use has dulled their perception of video lessons) and are less

Its not just business online. 8 million people includes millions of school children who have not gone to school since 5 August 2019. Then since March the corona happened and they had to stay back again. 1.5 years of no formal education but with a twist. While the world across everyone was on zoom, here in the valley the kids had to suffer because "buffering", no video, only either audio on zoom calls or the teacher snaps photos of Notes and forwards on WhatsApp, students copy that phot
