Ask HN: How do we build the new remote education system
If remote or partially remote education is to become the default, you have to scrap the teacher-students-classroom model; it hardly works in real life and it&#x27;s even worse when not happening in a physical space.<p>Moving to a fully asynchronous model is the only way you can maintain any semblance of educational standards. Put content online, have the students access it at their own leisure. Use the saved time to arrange live QA&#x2F;interactive sessions for the teachers to unblock the students if they need that (it is also a nice excuse to silently check everyone&#x27;s progress). Quit the cheating&#x2F;surveillance arms race, fully embrace open-book tests and oral exams.<p>I&#x27;d also say, try really hard not to go full remote, at least for middle school and below. There are advantages to both approaches, and a completely remote education is much harder to make work.<p>What individuals can do, I&#x27;m not really sure, I guess it depends on what your local school is doing&#x2F;allows at the moment. Fighting the bureaucracy hardly worth anybody&#x27;s time.
