Did Lockdowns Finish Off Public Schooling?

The public schools cannot be fixed. The bureaucracy is over crowded. Union control is absolute. Awful ideas abound about everything. There is a tendency to rely on technology rather than time-tested fundamentals as the preferred solution to any problem. As a result, the amount of technology is overwhelming; The amount of basic reading, writing, and arithmetic – vastly underwhelming. 

With only one more month of school after that, the district remained shuttered for the rest of that year.

My experience with Zoom School was so utterly terrible that I was convinced the children had to be back in school.

We lived in Florida, and we were lucky the schools reopened in August the next year.

The school board voted unanimously to remove all mandates for the next school year.

In the first week of the new school year, during school dropoff, an emergency meeting was called.

After our year of homeschooling, we decided to send them to a private charter school.

The people in charge, who care so very much about your children, declared classrooms unsafe, and then left to take selfies on a beach vacation, or send their children to private school.
