Possible schooling idea (lemmy.world)

I just wanted to say that I think it would be a great idea for more parents to look into remote or online school. We all know that there's a lot of risk in traditional schools these days, and it's so important to keep our kids safe.

Another great option is pathway schools. These are schools where kids learn basic math and other subjects up to 6th or 8th grade. Then, they can choose to diverge into other areas of study like plumbing, psychology, or even business. I'm not totally sure what they're called or if we have them in the US, but I've heard they're really good for kids! They seem to make them feel happier and more content, and they encourage them to learn more and go further.

I read in another comment that you are trying to avoid a mass shooting episode. Instead of changing schools, let's change access to ammo and mental health services via laws and voting, restricting one and making the other universal and taxpayer supported. I think that would be more effective. It would keep children safe in schools, in churches, in movie theaters, at birthday parties, etc.

I think that children learn best in the environment that fits their brain the best. If that's remote - awesome - but if not, I'll fight a different way for my child's safety in a physically in person school setting. And my child needs the accountability of the in person setting.
