This is exactly what is happening in our school district and it is a big failure. That and teachers emailing their lesson plans for parents to print or parents can go to the school and pick up printed packets. We then have the joy of taking photos of the completed work and emailing those back to the teachers.
It is extremely inefficient and I have already informed our school that we will not be doing that if we are stuck in this scenario come fall. We will be using Khan for math and other online learning platforms for LA.
It is a lot of work but so rewarding and I feel it has made me a better developer. I myself have learned so much from doing it. I have met so many amazing kids & parents too and it's made me a much bigger part of my community.
The pay does not match up to inflation, healthcare costs and cost of living. Put the cost of higher education into that mix and it just adds to the problem. So many are stuck paying off high students loans to only be able to get mediocre paying jobs.
"only 40 percent of Americans currently have 'good' jobs."
Meaning head of household jobs. That is a problem!
Instead of trying to force introverts to be more like extroverts, encourage them to share their skills/talents in a positive way. This is where you will see us shine and you might even forget that we are introverts.
Throwing us into a party with 100 strangers and expecting us to thrive, is not gonna do it. Asking us to teach a large group of strangers something valuable or lead a project that we know a lot about will energize us like nothing else. This is how we connect with people and how we make our mark in society.
A lot of introverts are quiet leaders and have a way of making a huge impact in ways that extroverts just don't understand. Don't get me wrong, I love the extroverts in my life, but I don't want to be like them :)
There are a ton of homeschool groups in our area too that organize activities where all of the kids get together. It is very active giving kids plenty of opportunity to socialize.
We don't homeschool for religious reasons. We do it because we want our kids to get the best possible education without all of the indoctrination and other crap that is pushed through the public education system. This is pretty much the reason most of the other homeschoolers that I engage with do it too. I think homeschooling has a bad rap because of the media and a few bad apples but at least from my experience, that portrayal is not the norm.
I would think a setup like that with good food would do well in this new reality we are in.
I imagine it would challenging for a restaurant to focus on a good dine-in experience alongside a good delivery service, especially considering the low margins.
