Given that technology and
homeschooling have already rendered the public schools totally obsolete from an
actual education standpoint, one can't help but wonder if one of the
side-benefits of pushing the lockdown measures in response to Corona-chan is killing the
public schools once and for all.
The shutdown of schools across America, both public and private,
has thrown the lives of parents into an upside-down struggle. And now, in the
name of safety, the Centers for Disease Control are nearly guaranteeing the
destruction of public schools in the United States.
They don’t mean to, of course. After all, public schools are the government-run and government-approved schools. But right now, every single parent across America is homeschooling. We are all getting a look at the shortcomings of curriculum, bureaucracy, and the people involved. While some teachers have risen to the occasion and tried their absolute hardest to attend to the educational and mental well-being of their students, there are some teachers who are just mailing it in. And there are kids and families that are mailing it in as well. The situation, as it stands right now, is not a sustainable one....
At the rate the districts and the CDC are going, the only kids left in public school will be the kids whose parents can’t afford to get them a private tutor/governess, the kids whose parents are not involved to begin with, the kids whose parents need the public school for childcare/meal purposes, and special education kids. And if you think teachers’ unions were down on homeschooling before, wait until public school enrollment drops nationwide and districts start losing real money over decreased enrollment. The best part? The unions will have no one to blame but their local government. The longer the school shutdown continues, the more parents are going to make other plans. Public education in the United States may have been unintentionally killed by government.

Taking a short term
economic hit that was inevitable anyway thanks to the debt situation is a very
small price to pay for killing the two primary engines of evil propaganda in
the USA. And Corona-chan hasn't exactly been good for the media or Hollywood either.
Best pandemic ever.
Best pandemic ever.
