Wake up American parents. Your children, by not going to school are lagging behind other countries. For example China pushes their youth to study math, the sciences and technology as well as English. School is their job, their career! Read “A Day in the Life of a Chinese Student”. It isn’t torture but well structured. What I liked about the structure, there seemed to be no pressure on parents to become unqualified teachers! Those students will be prepared to compete on the world stage!
AMERICA needs to step up or be woefully left behind.
Instead of funding personal pet projects, lining the pockets of themselves and associates, they should be funding our youth.
As wealthy as this Country is, there is NO reason why every school is not technically advanced environmentally as well as with technology and every child has an I Pad or laptop to aide them in there studies.
Schools should be open longer to allow for “study halls” where children can get extra help or complete projects and assignments. After the school day is over children, should be going to other activities, such as sports, dance, or any other activities they have interests or just to play and be kids. Neither child nor parent should be bogged down with hours of mundane homework.
This pandemic has placed parents in an awkward position of being teachers. Parents untrained in the methodology to teach and on average have been out of a class themselves 10years or more, found themselves struggling to understand new terminology, procedures and solutions.
Technology stops for no one!

Even our place as a leader in athletics will be challenged if kids aren’t back to excelling and competing in the classroom and or on the field or the gym The United States will be dead last!
