Question though do the poorer schools have access to the technology so that teachers and students can actually interact with each other in some meaningful way? Because if they are just getting on a computer and doing assignments that anyone could do for them I don't think this is going to help anyone and only hurt these kids education further.
I’m sure there are poor schools that aren’t equipped for distance learning. So I doubt they will opt for distance learning.
The issue here is the Trump administration told schools to decide what to do for themselves and then Trump criticized and threatened the schools for deciding what to do for themselves.
Tonight my daughter opted for the traditional classes option for her school. I don’t have a problem with her or the school’s decision. I do have a problem with telling the schools to decide for themselves then criticizing and threatening them for deciding for themselves.
If the Trump administration truly believes schools should decide what is best locally then let them do so without criticism and threats. If the Trump administration believes the kids should be in school, then f’n lead!
