If nothing else, the COVID panic has exposed for parents how many public schools are doing nothing more than babysitting services, once they look at their kids’ “homework” which takes 20 minutes a day.

My grandchildren spend about four hours each day on their schoolwork. Their teachers are available the whole time to answer questions by email. They have one or two zoom type meetings each day with the whole class.

A Catholic school nearby uses a Zoom type classroom with the teacher and the kids working together the whole school day.

Some places teachers may be doing very little but in some places teachers are doing a great deal.
