I sat and read over Tennessee news yesterday. This school district (outer regions of Nashville) had the plan worked up for Covid-19 and virtual school.....meaning the kids stayed home, and the teacher would 'broadcast' her 'show' when they went into a lockdown situation.
HOWEVER, the school sent the kids home with a waiver that had to be signed....stating that the parents would NOT watch the virtual school 'show'. If the parent violated that 'trust'.....then the 'show' would be turned off for that kid.
I sat and paused over this. Naturally, a lot of parents from this district asked questions. Why would watching the 'show' be of any consequence? Course, if you were doing more indoctrination or brainwashing....than actual teaching, then it might matter.
Basically, whether it was intended as a positive matter or not....they've invited a discussion over what the heck they are teaching, and creating a long-term trust issue.
