  1. She's the ideologue? Really? School closures erased two DECADES of progress in math and reading? Robbie is not focusing on the fact that teachers played a role in this progress. Perhaps he needs to stop flagellating them and demanding vouchers. He's the one who is perennially inconsistent and dismissive. Here's a clue: no one wants to teach. The ideologues who attack teachers incessantly are creating a crisis where your property taxes WILL rise, because you will not be able to attract a workforce under these conditions. You are taking the bait of the corporate looters, just like the ones in the Chicago parking meter fiasco. They don't care what it is; their kids go to elite private schools that cost as much as Harvard. Parking meters, schools, whatever -- they are looking for vulnerabilities to exploit.

  2. Might have been global, which tells you everything. A severe flu kills more children and teens.

  3.  @Microtherion  I agree, absolutely.

  4.  @Iris-hx6ox  Yes remote education is bad. Not only bad; a disaster.

  5.  @thealternative9580  It has to work. It does not work on the very young, you are right, but at some point it has to work. That is the goal to be met.

  6.  @astrogoodwin  Thank you for your posts. Almost none are insightful like yours.

  7. I hate all the fear mongering, and it has not stopped. But this mania to flagellate teachers is really backfiring. The younger teachers I know hated online school. One day we hear about how they aren't teaching students anything, they are a bunch of LGBTQ activist groomers, next I hear that the experiment in home schooling and online learning failed a generation. "But who needs college? You can learn online." And then no one will even listen to Bri before slamming her. Someone is being irrational here.

  9. I was truly puzzled. I thought that kids were learning nothing in school, except Gender Bender Studies, and they were much better off home schooled and online. Y'mean teachers teach math and reading?! Even the union members?

  12. I think your basic point is well-taken, but if you think one child losing a parent during a pandemic does not affect an entire grammar school class, then you don't know kids. It is a very big deal. I never forgot the kids who lost a brother or sister to leukemia, for example. It is only in senior high school that you see greater resilience. The pandemic was handled poorly overall, with Trump blustering and abusing more than usual, others fearmongering, censoring and attacking, no one trying to calm people, no one trying to be truthful . . . and a lot of people cashing in. The pandemic created new millionaires and billionaires. As we gripe about teachers.

  13.  @yh125d  I'm never in the same conversation, because I never take the narrow view and just accept what I'm being told and react. Hence, I do not support online education, or vaccine mandates, etc.

  14. Well, Robbie never stops trashing teachers and demanding vouchers. Now, we learn that we had two decades of progress in math and reading scores? And that not having schools open was bad? All along I had been hearing from the Bill Gates of the world that online education, vouchers, and charter schools are the way to progress. Who is the ideologue, exactly?

  15. Of course.

  16. France recently made vaccine passports illegal for minors. Hurrah!!!

  17. Then how did shutting down schools hurt learning? I am mystified.

  18. I still can't wrap my head around this. I thought teachers were not teaching anything, they are a bunch of SJW, LGBTQ groomers, and homeschooling and the Internet are the answer. Now it turns out that they actually teach math and reading, and we need them. I'm really at a loss here.

  19.  @bklynbass  Fair enough! I was being too ironic for my own good. ;) The teachers are constantly accused of not teaching. I thought it was rather sweet that it turns out that they are needed -- just when so few people want the job.

  21.  @llcoffin  I think Robbie's pushing for vouchers does so vastly more.

  23.  @llcoffin  Robbie is always attacking teachers and supporting "vouchers." Pay closer attention, a new moneygrab is in the works.

  24.  @llcoffin  I was giving you the big picture. There is a teacher shortage in many places. Guess what that means for property taxes.

  25. There is now a teacher shortage for a reason. Maybe you need to think about the reason.

  26. I thought that kids were learning nothing in school, except Gender Bender Studies, and they were better off home schooled and online. Y'mean teachers teach math and reading?! Even the union members? What is the narrative I have to believe so that the mob doesn't come for me? This is what we, and every child, needs to learn.

  27.  @rustyshackleford8370  Well, close the schools completely. I don't get it. Schools are clearly terrible for children. Teachers have had a tax deduction for supplies they provide to the students for decades now. Either they are all lying on their federal income tax, or they are buying school supplies for the poor kids.

  28.  @ameliam7898  Touchy, touchy. I can listen to Tucker Carlson, much less Briahna.

  29. Well, there is a teacher shortage and there are state universities all over that specialize in teacher education. The one 15 minutes from me is one of the least expensive in the state and has night classes, once weekly for each class.

  30.  @reddirtwalker8041  They are similar in the fact that the parents have more oversight and control over their education. For this supposed reason, online education is something you hear people advocate for to this day. Did you know, by the way, that we had two decades of progress in test scores? All I hear ever is that teachers are underperforming and wasting class time -- or grooming children. This is a new tune I'm hearing suddenly.

Now I learn that teachers teach math and reading?! Even the union members? I am having a hard time believing that. Of course you shouldn't listen to what someone actually says before slamming them. That's what those snowflake groomer teachers tell you to do. We already know what they're going to say.

  32.  @tracybarhite1764  Averages are misleading if a curve is skewed far from a normal distribution (where mean, mode, and median are equal). In other words, if teachers are disproportionately in their early twenties and late fifties/early sixties, then the average is meaningless. Back to math class for you.
