re: Do we really need to spend gobs of money on brick and mortar schools?

The problem isn’t entirely with schools. Too many parents have willingly abdicated their responsibilities to teachers and daycare workers. A lot of parents focus on what’s easy and ultimately unimportant, like travel sports and mindless entertainment. No one should be devoted to your child more than you. If you don’t care enough to diligently raise and instruct your kids then don’t be surprised when others care even less.

Sure love taking half my day to teach my kid quadratic equations. Good thing someone else is paying my salary so that I can teach.

You’re dumb if you think this will become a common thing, every parent, student and teacher hate this shite.

Decrease in amount of funding from states to support public higher Ed?(tuition increase to balance) Increase demand from students for amenities and technology? (New fees) The explosion of college athletics? ( more fees)

Virtual learning could and hopefully will replace some higher ed/college but not primary school.

Are webinars and zoom meetings going to replace sales calls for outside sales reps?
Until a Zoom meeting can replace a business lunch or deal on a golf course.
Some sales people and clients are like hookers, they like being wined and dined.
A Zoom meeting filled with slides and online demonstrations that can be cold and impersonal.

Well, they better get their crap together, because the online education is terrible is being horribly implemented. I understand this was all done on a very short notice, but it hasn't improved over the weeks.
I think this is the case in a vast majority of the country.

Isn't all of remote schooling demonstrating that traditional school will go the way of the horse and buggy?
If anything it’s showing how much we need brick and mortar schools. Online classes are great but they were never meant to be used as a substitute to the entire education experience.

As a teacher, virtual school is a nightmare. At an A school in an A parish, less than 30% of my students are even doing the work. In class, 95% participation. We are using all of the same programs, websites, etc we have used all year.
Parents just have no control or clue. “He’s always on his computer doing schoolwork.” Look at his records, YouTube and games all day. Also, they were told they didn’t have to do the work. It couldn’t hurt them. So why would they? I understand parents have to work. I understand parents have forgotten the skills and content, but turning a blind eye to it is another thing. My students are doomed if we go virtual in the Fall. No one will hold them accountable or even check their grades and ask them what the hell they’ve been doing.

Or any schools?
The biggest waste of money ever. There is no bigger socialist program in the world more than publicly funded education.
Without public schools parochial schools wouldn’t exist outside or Mormon, Amish, and some Jewish communities, but a rethink of education is desperately needed.

The moment my state eliminates brick and mortar schools is the moment we move.
Taking online courses doesn't really encapsulate the entire value of in-person instruction and interaction.

I had a discussion about this with my son. His two kids are taking online instruction. He had very serious doubts about accountability. Who is really doing the work? What are they really understanding?
