Are Our Schools Run By Fools?
By Michael J. Herman
In "Pressure Mounts to Reopen Schools" an article for #TheWallStreetJournal #DanielHenninger  (Feb 3, 2021) discusses the problems with mass home schooling and opening schools for in-person attendance. Among the issues presented in the article, Henninger reports that enrollment in Los Angeles schools has fallen by nearly half and that parents are tiring of schools being closed. The temperature is consistent nationwide.
Is it really a surprise to anyone that enrollment is so depressed?
Students need engagement. They need not only engagement, but interaction. In this highly digitized world in which this young generation lives, it's all about "Gamification" and on this issue educators and parents widely lose.
