I don't think it has permanently changed... especially for children. There may be more use of computers, but children need to learn how to interact in person. They need to learn to work in groups. Also, many parents cannot just stop working outside the home, in order to supervise the schoolwork. Eventually... once there is a vaccine, and once there are good treatments, I believe we will go back to 'normal'. Kids will play together, sports will be contested. People will eat out, and even spend the money to go to a movie and eat the fake butter popcorn. Houses of worship will be filled, and grandma's house, once again, will be the place to go for regular family dinners (that includes the odd uncle and the eccentric aunt). We are social critters :-D Reply #1622. Apr 24 20, 6:28 PM |

I have four children and children-in-law who are high school teachers. They have noted that some of their students are performing better and have increased their class participation under remote learning. Perhaps removing the social anxiety that can be crippling for some adolescents makes remote learning an option that should be more readily available once life returns to normal(whatever normal will be).

We need to get back to educating children in class with physically present adult supervision ASAP. We cannot wait for a vaccine. It needs to be this fall at the latest, virus or no virus. Online education is useful as an adjunct and for higher-level learners. It is completely inadequate for small children. Most parents are not able to homeschool and failure to resume classroom education will result in a huge cohort of students deeply behind on fundamental skills like reading and arithmetic. Furthermore, "virtual labs" are not a good substitute for actual physical handling of laboratory materials in science, which requires the physical presence of a supervisor. Would you like to be operated on by a surgeon who had only done simulated operations online? Or fly in a plane where the pilot had only done flying simulations? I've played thousands of hours of Grand Theft Auto games. I'm ready for street racing now guys! We cannot as a society wholly substitute online for traditional education. And we shouldn't try. It's a serious mistake. As far as a vaccine goes, it is interesting from a scientific view but I believe it will be meaningless therapeutically. Members of the coronavirus family of viruses mutate rapidly. By the time a vaccine has passed trials and can be synthesized in mass quantities, (18 months probably, minimum), this outbreak will be a mere trickle due to herd immunity and virus mutation, and we cannot afford 18 months of lost primary education.

I'm not qualified to comment on the effectiveness of virtual schooling versus traditional classroom learning but what I can tell you is that I never wanted to be a teacher and my wife and I are doing our best so far with our 6 year old daughter but we cannot go on like this for any extended period of time. It's not good for her, it's most definitely not good for our sanity and I worry that she will miss out on important foundational skill development that we, as intelligent people but untrained in teaching, are not able to fully realise for her. Older kids? I don't know, maybe, but this is not good for little kids and Brian is right bout the vaccine situation. That cannot be what governments are resting their hopes on..... if it is then we can expect to live like this for a long time. Reply #1627. Apr 25 20, 5:50 AM |

There is a professional body responsible for the regulation of my profession. In order to practice I must pay an annual fee and comply with any requirements they have to remain on their register. Apologies if there's another way that could be taken!! I'm kind of curious though... Reply #1636. May 09 20, 3:01 AM |

It's a language difference. Perfectly acceptable term in British English that no one here thinks twice about; in fact it never occurred to me that there might be a different slant on the term until I read the above comment. Congratulations, nasty_liar - do you get extra letters after your name? Many years ago I got an honorary fellowship and what did I get for it? A wine and cheese party - and the wine was more like vinegar giving itself airs. ;) Reply #1637. May 09 20, 11:09 AM |
