Replacing Teachers

[Woodznutz]

What about it?

Many kids were taught at home using various media sources. Teachers report mixed success, however.

"Remote learning" was a disaster.

Not mixed - disaster.

I'm willing to call it a mediocre stop gap. Not fully a disaster but for most students, not an optimal teaching/learning experience.

It set kids back by years. It resulted in an explosion of mental/social health problems for children. It set back the most those kids who could afford it the least. I made a good chunk of change private tutoring evenings during Covid because families with money knew it was no way to run a railroad.

I certainly didn't cover what I needed to cover and discipline was a complete waste of time. But for some kids, (strange but true) this was actually a wonderful educational experience. I think my daughter had a much easier time in college because of distance learning. I, as a teacher, saw the failings in my classes but I saw the flashes of success as well.

"Verify few" would be more accurate. The test results show they failed.

If you want a know it all, an arsehole, and difficult employee, then consider employing someone with a degree because your chances will exponentially increase.

Always employe someone based on behaviours, not qualifications. That's why the councils in the UK don't work, not cost effective, and deliver **** all.

"Remote learning" was a disaster.

According to who?

 

[P@triot]

Not mixed - disaster.

Based on what? That seems like the kind of thing the teacher's union would say - just some made up hyperbole to advance their own personal agenda.

 

[Unkotare]

According to who [sic]?

"Whom."

Me.

Homeschooling data (actual, provable data) says otherwise.

• A recent study shows that homeschooled kids score almost twice as high on exams as public school students. Other studies show that homeschooled kids score 72 points higher than the national average on SAT exams.

• Homeschoolers are more likely to attend college, are more likely to graduate, and have higher college GPAs (Grade Point Averages) than other students.
• The old wives’ tale spread by the teachers’ unions (who are afraid of competition) is that homeschoolers are not “socialized.” Well, the facts are in. Homeschoolers are almost 2x’s as involved in their local community or church as public school students, and almost 3x’s times as involved in politics.
• Homeschooled children also have far fewer behavioral problems.

The opinions, social media posts, and media claims simply do not hold up to the data. Children who attend school have far more behavioral/mental health issues.

"Whom."

This isn't 1837. It's "who".

Me.

Exactly. I'll go with indisputable data over a former teacher with an agenda making claims backed up by absolutely nothing.

...

No, it doesn't.

Many kids suffered, but self motivated children still progressed.

I taught Algebra and Geometry, in the MIDDLE SCHOOL.
These are advanced kids.
They wanted to learn.
I created a daily video of the lesson and posted it in Google Classroom.
Then we had assigned daily meeting times through Google Meets (As a Class).
Attendance was as normal as the months before.

For these students, it worked.

That said, I know that MANY suffered, especially Elementary students.

Your math skills are as solid as IM2's.

It's 2026, and it's still "whom."

Who is that?

 

[P@triot]

No, it doesn't.

Denying reality doesn't alter reality. I gave citations. The data is all there.

Well you'd be amazed how different your math skills will become once you stop denying reality
