The higher education puppy mills will lose a huge sum of money if education goes online
in fact the schools could get by with half the staff they have now
imagine a Feminist and Black Studies professor getting canned and having to find a real job
I encourage trump change his approach and support internet teaching
Online courses can be problematic. There is something to be said for live interaction among students and students and faculty. Most schools are attempting blended models. Lot of discussion going on, and regardless, the face of education is going to change.
This virus led the way.
Over half of my property taxes go to support our local public schools. I (nor any of my tenants) ever had kids in the school system, yet we have to pay for it.
Yes, the cost of these schools are high, in the thousands a year for me. But what do those costs include besides teachers? The buildings. The buildings that use heat, air conditioning, maintenance. Then there are busses. You have to pay the drivers, the gasoline, insurance, and so on.
Think how much money taxpayers could save through education online. Close down and sell the schools. No more busses because there is no place to send the kids to. Given the fact that the average educational cost per capita is about 12-15K a year, it would be more cost effective to provide those poorer kids with internet access and a computer.
You are talking K-12? Everyone would be home schooling?
Correct, that's what I'm talking about, and so are school systems all across the country. I'm very surprised the teachers unions are not complaining about it, although I'm sure all their members are still paying dues and not having to go into work.
It would be a nightmare for parents, and single parents couldn’t do it. In addition, there is a lot of important social development that goes on in a school setting.
As suspicion toward China spreads to academia, the FBI has advised at least 10 U.S. universities to monitor academics associated with certain Chinese institutions.
www.npr.org
FBI is encouraging campuses to monitor Chinese students because they are spies. But, the unpatriotic leftist college President's are pushing back. But they will allow BLM and Antifa to shut down free speech on their their Marxist incubator's under cover of "higher education."
Okay okay okay okay... Educate my ignorance. So the FBI warned these universities because they might be a spies.
You lost me here big time.
The universities supposed to lock libraries, classes, and doors? Let say you are a Chinese students. You are not supposed to enroll in high tech classes, no access to libraries? Are those libraries and classes supposedly keep high tech secrets like from Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop, Pratt & Whitney???
HOW and WHAT can a Chinese students or anybody be a spy by enrolling in a US university? Is that mean ALL foreign students enrolled in US universities could be a spies???
These has nothing to do with with ANTIFA or BLM or free speech.
But these is all about common sense, stupidity, ignorance and cruelty against your own fellow Americans that millions are suffering.
Below is from your link. Meaning warning from FBI is just another HOGWASH.
Such FBI requests are advisory, not mandatory. Administrators say the universities briefed by the FBI have not yet implemented additional monitoring protocols. They say they have pushed back because of skepticism of the threat level and because the FBI requests lack specificity in implementation.
