As the coronavirus pandemic closes schools, in some cases until September, American children this month met their new English, math, science and homeroom teachers: their iPads and their parents. Classes are going online, if they exist at all. The United States is embarking on a massive, months-long virtual-pedagogy experiment, and it is not likely to end well. Years of research shows that online schooling is ineffective and that students suffer significant learning losses when they have a long break from school. Now theyre getting both, in a hastily arranged mess. And the kids who suffer most from the summer slide are the low-income students, the ones already struggling to keep up.
Schools and teachers are mobilizing to roll out instruction. Many are showing entrepreneurial spirit and creativity, and the ad hoc home-school universe is awash in ideas and resources. District leaders are working long hours, trying their best to serve kids. While larger districts have at times struggled with communication and rollout, some schools and districts are showing a more nimble and collaborative approach. Achievement First, a charter network with schools in multiple states including Rhode Island, has jumped in and offered to share all resources with the Providence Public School District, which is under a state takeover for low performance. And Chiefs for Change, an organization of state and local education leaders, is hosting a virtual forum for school districts to share how they are collaborating with charter schools during this crisis. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, those jurisdictions struggling to support online coursework will catch up and find workarounds for students without access to technology, learning from the more entrepreneurial players.

This is actually a benefit of Chinese WMD.
Not reading the WaPo birdcage liner should improve IQ scores across the Nation.
In the sense of liberal indoctrination, we can only hope!
Home schooled children who are schooled by parents who make that choice do extremely well. Home schooling by parents who are forced will be a total fail.
The dems have to push home schooling bad because it does not fit their agenda. Unions.. free stuff..
Only communist leftists are concerned... their indoctrination efforts might weaken and collapse if the state thought controlled students are left home exposed to truth.

Indoctrination centers and ChiCom outreach canceled. Leftists and trannys hardest hit.
The schools can stay closed. Forever.
Maybe they’ll learn something about our history and why this is a great country.
They don’t get that in the commie skools.
Sliver lining for sure
This is not only fake, it’s libelous.
Here in Indiana they do e-learning on snow days, so this was an extension of the process. I’ve enjoyed tutoring my grandkids when needed also.
Okay, Washington Compost, just for the sake of discussion, let’s say you’re right. Well over 90% of parents with school age children were taught in government run schools themselves. Why are they unable to teach their children what they were taught?
Homeschooling eliminates fed $$$ to school districts.

Second granddaughter is dual enrolled in college classes as a HS junior just as her UCF sister was. May ALL children be as disadvantaged by this experience.
