In China, 200 million kids have gone back to school . . . online https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/in-china-200-million-kids-have-gone-back-to-school-online/2020/02/17/e5cc6f10-5131-11ea-80ce-37a8d4266c09_story.html
Thanks to COVID-19, a whole lot of parents are finding out that the teacher wasn't the problem after all.
Loved the Zoom meetings last week, filled with kindergartners... I'd make a highlights reel if I could! Dinosaurs and Spaceships are acceptable answers to every question.
In response to the situation, I've seen a big uptick in commercials for online high school and pre-high school programs. One program, Connections Academy, seems to be on an awful lot.
There are a lot of startup online schools taking advantage of this... I think someone started a thread in regards to Axact Universities (unaccredited schools from Pakistan) are taking advantage of this, those Axact boogers know when to strike!
