okay, that was a lie, we do need teachers. But maybe we don't need so many.
What if we hired the brightest minds, who were proven to be the best teachers, each to teach 1 subject per grade all across the country, on a Skype type program, live. And common questions would be generated and answered. Afterwards, the programs could be 'reviewed' if someone feels like they need clarification..
There could be a sensor on each child's laptop, with facial recognition that recognizes whether the child is watching and paying attention, and if the child is not paying attention, then the parents will recieve a 'report' on how well the child pays attention.
Is this a good or bad idea in these days of coronavirus?
**** that.
We don't need teachers anymore. And we definitely don't need a sensor that checks whether a kid is paying attention or not.
Back to basics, away from state controlling everything. School as it is now, is just an indoctrination laboratory.
So my nephew and niece were talking about their classes over Zoom or Skype or whatever.
My niece was in a so-called acting class, where instead of learning actual acting, she learns to pretend that a desk is a chair, or a lamp is a banana (Learning to substitute reality for whatever other people say is reality).
My nephew is taking a paranormal studies class (yes, let's ban religion from the classrooms, and instead teach superstition).
How about no? How about we have homeschool, and teach kids to read, write, and do real math. To think critically. To use logic and reason. To actually be productive members of society and not spend their lives
rioting for a group that will turn against them when they are no longer useful (read up on what Hitler
did to his early people, read up on what
happened to Old Bolsheviks).
