Billions by schools, but whose learning?

If you know that real parenting cannot be done over the telephone or by Zoom, then be assured real teaching can’t be done that way, either.

Will any of that tech produce the educational quality promised? All evidence suggests the answer is no.

Students themselves seem aware of this, since many of them around the country are asking for refunds or discounts if they are only going to be offered second-rate “online” classes. Administrators who have spent millions upgrading their tech and teachers who have spent hours and hours preparing new materials for online learning are not likely to be especially sympathetic to this plea, and most haven’t been.

Imagine that? Yet another case where parents and students know better than the school "system."
