What about all of the viruses and bacteria the children need to be exposed to? They are going to come out of their bubbles and be killed by a common cold, or they are going to have more violent versions of the chicken pox. This is insanity

I once visited a school that was entirely different from our current system. It was a high school but there were no age groups or grades, just learning areas that students could move through. Teachers had specialties but the 'class rooms' were open to all students. The students worked on what interested them which leads one to everything else naturally and with curiosity still intact. The teachers belong to all and were available to all. Students didn't change classrooms each year and have to start all over with a new teacher because they already knew the teachers. They would get a main teacher with a different specialty but all the teachers were capable in all subjects. The family feel was built in and one simply returned to the same school (continuity, safety, security) each year. A student was allowed to work on the same thing all day if they wanted to, no assembly line just natural movement through the subjects.

Even I wanted to enroll in that high school. There was nothing about the kids that resembled the high schools we have now. Students made there own choices and worked at their own pace. They were making their own lives. And they were busy learning. They were engaging.

The current system has so many flaws it's hard to find what's good about it. 12 years and our kids know how to read, use a calculator and follow instructions. It's no wonder so many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Our schools have been undercover psychological torture for at least 50 yrs.

There is no reason why college level shouldn't be High School. There is no reason to incur a debt for college level schooling. It can easily be done in HS for everyone.

What's awesome is that these crap instructions are basically free advertising for homeschooling and charters at this point.

Everyone is hearing the teachers unions that are demanding money, demanding charters be abolished, demanding schools stay closed WITH PAY, and realizing they don't want their kids indoctrinated by these freeloading Marxist assholes.

In LA the teachers unions are even demanding police be eliminated.

This is how you destroy the essential period of development of children’s’ empathy and social consciousness.
