Some school districts plan to end the year early, call remote learning too tough
This situation has presented an incredible opportunity to flip the education paradigm around and we are missing it. In my opinion, there are two different opportunities that should be explored:<p>1. Using the &quot;best&quot; teachers from the school district to provide lectures for every student taking that course while the other teachers provide TA-esque support to the students in their &quot;section.&quot; If a student is struggling with homework or to understand the lecture, they can go into a video breakout room and get 1:1 support without interrupting others.<p>2. Education has been focused on in-person lectures with home &quot;work&quot; for decades. Given the current situation, it seems to make the most sense to provide offline&#x2F;prerecorded lectures and to use the class time to support the students with direct help for their work. Students can listen to a lecture without a live teacher, they cannot ask questions about their work without one.<p>Are their holes in both of these? Sure. Are they as bad as just moving the existing paradigm online? I don&#x27;t think so.
