Two things we have noticed:
- Schools are definitely not an obsolete institution! Most parents had no idea as to what is required as far as organisation and presentation of content besides managing a classroom full of kids. Most got a 'FAIL' from their kids!
- Online learning is no replacement for the classroom. Online was a great contribution for students to continue their classes. Online is cheaper, convenient, receptive, and relevant but misses the most important, deep learning! You can do rote examples and homework well using online but it is does not build fluency and nuance of the subject. It is hard to love biology sitting looking at YouTube. How does this compare with counting birds and insects in a garden? Or discussing over what you would do if you went to Gold Rush in early Victoria.
