A NEWFOUND RESPECT FOR TEACHERS

The closing of schools across the country for the remainder of the school year because of the coronavirus has presented many challenges for educators and parents alike. School districts have been experimenting with the implementation of on-line classes in their effort to provide a meaningful learning ex- perience for students of all ages. Parents have been enlisted in this effort to varying degrees, most- ly-dependent upon the age of their children. High schoolers are able to do what they need to do with little parental supervision and guidance. On the other hand, parents of children in the youngest age-groups have been required to spend a lot of time with their children in order to assist teachers in fulfilling the school system’s, and their child’s, educational needs and goals. In our view, the coronavirus has brought to the forefront a number of issues with our educational system in general, and on-line learning in particular. First and foremost, remote learning can be only as successful as the technological capabilities of the students, their families, and their households. Access to high-speed internet and ownership of up-to- date hardware (and software) are crucial to successful on-line learn- ing. Second, the degree to which young students are dependent upon their parents to make on-line learning a meaningful experience has become painfully obvious. Parents need to have the time, the patience, the skills, and a certain degree of knowledge if they are going to par- ticipate meaningfully in their children’s at-home instruction. Third, parents have discovered that instructing younger children is far more complex a task than just knowing the ABCs and basic Guest Op-Ed arithmetic. The large number of parents who basically have given up on the process as the pandemic grinds on attests to the frustration of the average parent in attempting to participate meaningfully in their children’s education.
