MUST watch.

As the sage of GMU says, virtual schools are not adequate and do not meet the bare minimum standards expected of them.

While schools mostly waste taxpayer money and students’ time, they nevertheless used to provide one undeniably useful service: daycare.

Now...they don't even fulfill that PARTIAL daycare function.

Obviously,no kindergartner or middle schooler is going to receive any benefit from virtual instruction unless a parent closely monitors him.

In my home county of Fairfax, all instruction will be virtual for a full quarter. At least....and it'll be about two hours a day. Yet, these schools keep getting full tax funding and teachers are still getting paid despite adding essentially no value.

Transmission of the virus between child and adult is...exceedingly rare.

There's never been a confirmed case of it in the many other countries where schools never shut down or reopened. And reopening certainly hasn't caused epidemics in schools in other countries.

I have some sympathy for teachers...I come from a long line of them...but no other profession is trying to exploit the pandemic in this way with so little merit behind their case.
