Maybe the pandemic will contribute to a rethinking of schooling in terms of how children learn. "For all its challenges, the pandemic presents an opportunity to rethink school entirely. What should we be demanding? A good start would be to include a broader and deeper curriculum with more chances for children to explore, play, and build relationships with peers and teachers. Schools should also be in the business of fostering curiosity and a love of learning in all children, or at a minimum not impeding the development of those traits. This is a low educational bar but one that is too often not cleared, as the millions of American adults who are functionally illiterate might suggest. https://www.theatlantic.com//school-wasnt-so-grea/616923/
