Well… it’s word salad. It does make sense but it’s almost hieroglyphic to a nine year old…

Their class might be described as an amalgam of different methods. But it seems like the education system is just throwing different stuff at a wall to see what sticks.

Are these kids being group homeschooled or charter schooled? This isn’t the actual brick and mortar neighborhood public school, is it?

Gobbledygoop.

This seems like a wonderful alternative to the classroom! I would have loved it. Less distractions! College in the classroom was different for me though. I loved it. Plus there was a lot of participation. I was a music major!

I love the way the kids are just ignoring the computer to greet each other after the summer. In order to get them interested, the computer language will have to change. I wonder if there’s anyone watching them.

To be honest, that doesn’t looks good like a good way to start a school year.

This will prepare them for office meetings. I’ve sat through hundreds like this.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was real. A word salad topped with gibberish and seasoned with Mrs. (balder) Dash.

Reminds me quite a bit of the corporate word garbage tossed around in the late 90’s. I suspect it’s even worse now.

Roget’s thesaurus is required reading starting in Grade 1. :)

At least in my days School Correspondence was mailed to parents and I was given a sealed copy to turn in to my parents. All I knew from the printed syllabus was explained by the teacher. A different time.

For decades pre-pandeic, Chicago tried virtual learning for students wanting additional electives, advanced coursework, or to make up a credit. Failure rate was shocking. Then the pandemic situation with online classes. Oy. An actual teacher in front of a student is so important. Addition supports beyond the classroom, which might include online, are important but don’t replace in person learning. I do wonder about Socrates holding an online symposium, lol.
