    Its simply due to lower attendance, Tommy. Not whatever you're trying to suggest
    in terms of any 'agenda' being pushed by the schools.

    Specifically, the article attributes it to:

    * Declining birthrates
    * Outward population migration
    * Increased Homeschooling
    * Urban gentrification displacement

    FYI: the statewide decline in was larger back during Trump in 2020, at -3.3% YoY.

    Even if it were true (which, as HH pointed out, it isn't):

    1. How can "schools" fuck over kids? School boards perhaps.

    2. How are the school boards supposed to have "fucked over the kids",
    anyway?

    3. How do school closings "fuck over" anyone?

    I have to give you credit for this, you DID hit on the principal reason: INCREASED HOMESCHOOLING! The fucking teachers forced parents into becoming their OWN teachers and the parents found out that they were BETTER at it than the teachers!!
    https://www.nheri.org/how-many-homeschool-students-are-there-in-the-united-states-pre-covid-19-and-post-covid-19/
    https://hslda.org/post/census-data-shows-phenomenal-homeschool-growth
    An increase of five million home schooled students amounts to TEN PERCENT of the total student population!

    The remaining reasons are too meniscal or slow-changing to be a factor. Plus, illegal aliens are dumping a WHOLE LOT of new students into school districts.

    So, Lyin' Asshole, you ADMIT that the teacher/student ratio favors home schooling (this is REALLY a duh!).

    No, I did not say that.

    You're trying to assume that any random parent doing homeschooling is just
    as effective as a trained professional. That's why I posted the link on the death
    of 'Mad' Mike Hughes, who was effectively a "homeschooled" engineer wannabee that you might have been able to relate to.


    You assume that what teachers have to do to get certified REALLY qualifies them to teach.

    Oh, look: its a "No TRUE Scotsman" logical fallacy attempt!

    But if you want to play "gotcha!" then you need to show us that you actually do have a clue
    about the field of education: do that by telling us where major candidate washouts historically
    occurs within the educational profession.


    HOW do you know this?

    Oh, you mean besides from how I'm from a multigenerational family of professional
    educators where we've "talked shop" on techniques for decades? Or do you mean from
    besides my own experience standing in front of a class? Or by any chance does it stem
    from how I've stayed current in the field through several friends who are currently educators?
    Or have the specific questions I've asked you (above & below) sufficient demonstration that
    this is yet another professional field that I know a hell of a lot more than you?

    Personally, I am FAR MORE QUALIFED to teach math and science than ANY grade school teacher you will run into.

    Incorrect: you're conflating mere knowledge with the ability & skills to impart knowledge.

    And to illustrate, we'll start with you telling us what the basic rule of thumb is for the
    optimal number of repetitions for retention that educators employ. FYI, the practice
    is commonly within Bachelor's level curricula, but not the underlying science behind it,
    so your question is its scientific underpinnings:

    what is the basic modality of this rule of thumb, and what other criteria accompany it?



    I have actually been invited into a grade school to talk to students about electricity.

    So? How does merely being a guest to give a speech correlate to actually *educating*
    a class? Did you conduct a Q&A session? Conduct a quiz? Follow-up later to gage the
    retention of imparted knowledge?

    If you didn't do any of these, you weren't educating.

    Wow.

    Some class (with your child in the class I'm guessing) asked you to
    speak... ...once.

    Just to let you know, Sunshine, some years back I did tech support for a
    Jewish parochial school here in Vancouver and because of that, I was
    asked on a few occasions to substitute for the computer lab teacher
    (kids from age 5 - 13). After doing that a few times, the school's board
    let me know that:

    1. They were unsatisfied with their current lab teacher.

    2. They would like me to take over on a full-time basis.

    I was very flattered, but I had to decline.

    No, it is BETTER than the classroom. Think about it, what is the teacher/student ratio in the classroom vs home?
    So homeschooling is better...

    ...but online schooling...

    ...with both a teacher AND a parent is worse?

    Weird position to take there, Sunshine.

    Perhaps you didn't really think it through.

    :-)

    Boy, I am sensing the DESPERATION on your libtards part to justify the unjustifiable.

    I'm simply trying to understand how your brain can hold such
    contradictory positions.

    Wow.

    Some class (with your child in the class I'm guessing) asked you to
    speak... ...once.

    Just to let you know, Sunshine, some years back I did tech support for a Jewish parochial school here in Vancouver and because of that, I was
    asked on a few occasions to substitute for the computer lab teacher
    (kids from age 5 - 13). After doing that a few times, the school's board
    let me know that:

    1. They were unsatisfied with their current lab teacher.

    2. They would like me to take over on a full-time basis.

    I was very flattered, but I had to decline.

    :-)

    Good and BAD for you!

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream of lies. You DON'T have to be a "trained" educator to be an educator, in fact, a superior one. A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters, they are highly motivated and interested in

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to the general case. But they’re not the general case. That’s why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters, they are highly motivated and interested in their student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias. And just because
    someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not resort to the least common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of ignorance:
    you & they don’t know how schools aggregate their students into
    performance tiers, to maximize overall attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the teacher
    doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the homeschooler
    is weak on results in a student who’s weak there too. Think
    of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper will do with science,
    but now multiply that by however many years it goes on for
    how screwed up the kid will get in science, etc.
    TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.


    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially _fewer_ resources to leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which is why
    those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the reality of society.


    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students excel
    when compared to public schooled. https://homeeducator.com/homeschool-vs-public-school/

    As if that URL doesn’t have a fundamental conflict of interest!

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics is the
    whole social development of the child: their environment is away

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves: home schooled students significantly outperform the machine students. Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after the system FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they were GOOD AT
    IT! Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have never witnessed before. You can either accept that FACT, or you can continue what you are best at: lying and deceit.

    Its simply due to lower attendance, Tommy. Not whatever you're trying to suggest
    in terms of any 'agenda' being pushed by the schools.

    Specifically, the article attributes it to:

    * Declining birthrates
    * Outward population migration
    * Increased Homeschooling
    * Urban gentrification displacement

    FYI: the statewide decline in was larger back during Trump in 2020, at -3.3% YoY.

    -hh

    In the early 60s Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) had about 130,000 students. Then come forced integration. Followed by mass outmigration to surrounding Marion County township schools and explosive growth of suburbs plus the rise of charter schools and
    home schooling. Total enrollment in the metro area has gone up. IPS is now at about 31,000 students and predominately black.

    The district is still shuttering schools. Some things you just cannot seem to fix. This has happened all over the country.

    Obviously they can't; it's simply a falsehood.

    The average parent is not skilled at teaching and does not have
    sufficient understanding or knowledge of enough subjects.

    Of course a good parent might be better in a number of circumstances
    than a bad teacher... but as a bad parent how could you possibly judge.

    There are not that many parents that would be sufficiently good
    teachers that would make the time to teach their children.

    You fools simply can't accept that PARENTS are BETTER TEACHERS than these union toads.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream of lies. You DON'T
    have to be a "trained" educator to be an educator, in fact, a superior one.

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to the general case.
    But they’re not the general case. That’s why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters, they are highly
    motivated and interested in their student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias. And just because
    someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not resort to the least common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of ignorance:
    you & they don’t know how schools aggregate their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the teacher
    doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the homeschooler
    is weak on results in a student who’s weak there too. Think
    of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper will do with science,
    but now multiply that by however many years it goes on for
    how screwed up the kid will get in science, etc.
    TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.

    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially _fewer_ resources to leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which is why
    those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the reality of society.

    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students excel

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics is the
    whole social development of the child: their environment is away

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves:

    ...home schooled students significantly outperform the machine students.

    Ever heard the expression "teach to the test"? <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test>

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on showing everyone
    just how little you actually know about the art & science of education.

    Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after the system
    FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they were GOOD AT IT!

    Substantiating citations conspicuously absent

    Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have never witnessed before. You can either accept that FACT, or you can continue what you are best at: lying and deceit.

    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in modest (<10%) shifts to greater homeschooling, but that's not proof that it is motivated by quality or
    anything other factor than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if
    the trend sticks, or reverses itself back down to traditional norms.

    Well you are demonstrating your poor education.
    Did you forget to factor class size when you made your ill
    considered claim?
    Put your parent in a class full of kids and how "superior" are they
    then.
    The trouble with be so unintelligent is that you do not even know
    the parameters and limitations of your own argument.


    Hey Andy,

    Andy is over the road feeling awkward that a dirty old man like you is
    staring at him. He knows the rumours about you, pervert.

    thanks for making my case for me - you can't have
    effective, personalized education when the teacher is diluted THIRTY
    TO ONE! And that is for schools where the kids aren't DEALING DRUGS!!

    Well, you just admitted your case was shit. It had NOTHING to do with
    parents vs teachers at all.

    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned their kids to the machine called public schools.

    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September to June,
    as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the grade credit, especially when the homeschooler missed taking their state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year, there's been over 340,000
    Americans who have died of CoVid, including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of
    roughly 30 deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter schools as a result.

    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As such, it is less than
    one percentage point of the total education population, and on its own, it isn't significant
    enough to be shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on changes
    in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI, a town I've lived in went through
    the same school district shrinking ... way back in the 1980s, when the baby boomer bubble
    graduated out.


    Clearly, not all parents want to or can be teachers, but MILLIONS are - and VERY successfully.

    Oh, so now instead of them all being more competent than the trained professionals, its
    now a goalpost backslide where there's allegedly 'millions' who are 'successful'...
    ...for whatever constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test scores
    and not all of the many other social-centric factors which affect the overall development
    of a young adult into becoming a productive member of society.


    Again, don't argue with me - I'm just the messenger.

    No, you're a pissant parrot of partisan propaganda, who's agenda is to try to sabotage
    all public institutions so that they can be privatized for profit... which is precisely why
    only in the USA does insulin cost $300/vial.

    Boy, I am sensing the DESPERATION on your libtards part to
    justify the unjustifiable.
    I'm simply trying to understand how your brain can hold such
    contradictory positions.

    Hey Fool, I, again, am the MESSENGER: parents are leaving the
    union-run schools in a STAMPEDE. They are the ones that are calling
    the shots, NOT ME!

    But you're claiming that they're doing so because online instruction...

    Which is inherently parents homeschooling their children with the
    assistance of professional teachers.

    ...is somehow terrible...
    ...while plain homeschooling is better.
    Not only that, but Tom finally slips in the key word that underlies his motivation:
    "... union-run schools..."
    BTW, no, I did not have a child in the class, FOOL. But they ALL did
    send me a stack of THANKYOU cards - HAND MADE (I still have them -
    they are LOVELY)!
    All of which were completely unsolicited, and not an in-class exercise, right?
    (and why would that be? to teach the kids social etiquette skills?).

    And the reason why they were hand-made was because they were using
    the school's art supply materials. One of my first jobs was to help haul,
    inventory, sort, & distribute precisely those supplies in bulk, out to each
    teacher's classrooms.

    -hh

    PS: the answer on the rule of thumb is "FIVE".

    You fools simply can't accept that PARENTS are BETTER TEACHERS than these union toads.
    They're only better if the parent is a trained educator.

    FWIW, you've make yourself nakedly obvious that this really isn't about
    educational principles at all; it is merely that you've been told the you
    need to be anti-Union.



    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream of lies. You DON'T
    have to be a "trained" educator to be an educator, in fact, a superior one.

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to the general case.
    But they’re not the general case. That’s why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters, they are highly
    motivated and interested in their student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias. And just because
    someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not resort to the least
    common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of ignorance: you & they don’t know how schools aggregate their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the teacher doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the homeschooler
    is weak on results in a student who’s weak there too. Think
    of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper will do with science,
    but now multiply that by however many years it goes on for
    how screwed up the kid will get in science, etc.
    TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.

    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially _fewer_ resources to leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which is why those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the reality of society.

    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students excel when compared to public schooled. https://homeeducator.com/homeschool-vs-public-school/

    As if that URL doesn’t have a fundamental conflict of interest!

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics is the whole social development of the child: their environment is away from their peers, often leaving homeschooled kids literally stunted. BT,DT.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves:
    They most certainly do: you've dodged every single one of the points above.

    ...home schooled students significantly outperform the machine students.

    Ever heard the expression "teach to the test"? <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test>

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on showing everyone
    just how little you actually know about the art & science of education.
    Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after the system FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they were GOOD AT IT!
    Substantiating citations conspicuously absent
    Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have never witnessed
    before. You can either accept that FACT, or you can continue what you are
    best at: lying and deceit.
    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in modest (<10%) shifts
    to greater homeschooling, but that's not proof that it is motivated by quality or
    anything other factor than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if
    the trend sticks, or reverses itself back down to traditional norms.

    As such, you'll have to hope that you die before 3-4 years have transpired to avoid
    the consequences of the real world data testing your still-unsupported causal claim.


    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned their kids to the machine called public schools.
    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September to June, as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the grade credit, especially
    when the homeschooler missed taking their state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year, there's been over 340,000
    Americans who have died of CoVid, including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of
    roughly 30 deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter schools as a result.
    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As such, it is less than
    one percentage point of the total education population, and on its own, it isn't significant
    enough to be shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on changes
    in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI, a town I've lived in went through
    the same school district shrinking ... way back in the 1980s, when the baby boomer bubble
    graduated out.
    Clearly, not all parents want to or can be teachers, but MILLIONS are - and VERY successfully.
    Oh, so now instead of them all being more competent than the trained professionals, its
    now a goalpost backslide where there's allegedly 'millions' who are 'successful'...
    ...for whatever constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test scores
    and not all of the many other social-centric factors which affect the overall development
    of a young adult into becoming a productive member of society.
    Again, don't argue with me - I'm just the messenger.
    No, you're a pissant parrot of partisan propaganda, who's agenda is to try to sabotage
    all public institutions so that they can be privatized for profit... which is precisely why
    only in the USA does insulin cost $300/vial.

    -hh

    My, my - the Lyin' Asshole is getting testy, is he? Any business that had a TEN PERCENT loss of business would go, appropriately, into panic mode. This is HUGE! Closing of schools is HUGE! And, YET AGAIN, I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant"
    libtard attempting to protect the union status quo.

    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches, and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She doesn't actually do any teaching because they are
    all of the students on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    And, YES, ten percent amounts to MILLIONS of parents homeschooling their kids. Even the Lyin' Asshole should be able to make such a SIMPLE calculation! Note that many parents can't afford to home school their kids, not from being unqualified, or the
    numbers would be higher. And the home school parents DON'T get any financial aid from the states, unlike public schools (they SHOULD!).

    PS: the answer on the rule of thumb is "FIVE".

    You fools simply can't accept that PARENTS are BETTER
    TEACHERS than these union toads.
    They're only better if the parent is a trained
    educator.

    FWIW, you've make yourself nakedly obvious that this
    really isn't about educational principles at all; it is
    merely that you've been told the you need to be
    anti-Union.



    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream
    of lies. You DON'T have to be a "trained" educator to be
    an educator, in fact, a superior one.

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to
    the general case. But they’re not the general case. That’s
    why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters,
    they are highly motivated and interested in their
    student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias.
    And just because someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that >>>>>> they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not
    resort to the least common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of
    ignorance: you & they don’t know how schools aggregate
    their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall
    attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the
    teacher doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the
    homeschooler is weak on results in a student who’s weak
    there too. Think of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper
    will do with science, but now multiply that by however many
    years it goes on for how screwed up the kid will get in
    science, etc. TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.

    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially _fewer_ resources to
    leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public
    schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which
    is why those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the
    reality of society.

    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students
    excel when compared to public schooled.
    https://homeeducator.com/homeschool-vs-public-school/

    As if that URL doesn’t have a fundamental conflict of
    interest!

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics
    is the whole social development of the child: their
    environment is away from their peers, often leaving
    homeschooled kids literally stunted. BT,DT.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves:
    They most certainly do: you've dodged every single one of the
    points above.

    ...home schooled students significantly outperform the
    machine students.

    Ever heard the expression "teach to the test"?
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test>

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on
    showing everyone just how little you actually know about the
    art & science of education.
    Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after
    the system FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they
    were GOOD AT IT!
    Substantiating citations conspicuously absent
    Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have
    never witnessed before. You can either accept that FACT, or
    you can continue what you are best at: lying and deceit.
    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in
    modest (<10%) shifts to greater homeschooling, but that's not
    proof that it is motivated by quality or anything other factor
    than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if the
    trend sticks, or reverses itself back down to traditional
    norms.

    As such, you'll have to hope that you die before 3-4 years have
    transpired to avoid the consequences of the real world data
    testing your still-unsupported causal claim.


    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned
    their kids to the machine called public schools.
    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September
    to June, as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the
    grade credit, especially when the homeschooler missed taking their
    state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year,
    there's been over 340,000 Americans who have died of CoVid,
    including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of roughly 30
    deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter
    schools as a result.

    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As
    such, it is less than one percentage point of the total education
    population, and on its own, it isn't significant enough to be
    shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on
    changes in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI,
    a town I've lived in went through the same school district
    shrinking ... way back in the 1980s, when the baby boomer bubble
    graduated out.
    Clearly, not all parents want to or can be teachers, but MILLIONS
    are - and VERY successfully.
    Oh, so now instead of them all being more competent than the
    trained professionals, its now a goalpost backslide where there's
    allegedly 'millions' who are 'successful'... ...for whatever
    constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test
    scores and not all of the many other social-centric factors which
    affect the overall development of a young adult into becoming a
    productive member of society.
    Again, don't argue with me - I'm just the messenger.
    No, you're a pissant parrot of partisan propaganda, who's agenda is
    to try to sabotage all public institutions so that they can be
    privatized for profit... which is precisely why only in the USA
    does insulin cost $300/vial.

    -hh

    My, my - the Lyin' Asshole is getting testy, is he? Any business that
    had a TEN PERCENT loss of business would go, appropriately, into
    panic mode. This is HUGE! Closing of schools is HUGE! And, YET AGAIN,
    I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant" libtard attempting to protect the union status quo.'>

    There hasn't BEEN a 10% loss of business, Sunshine.


    Poor Tommy ... a washed-up former Engineer who can't even do the
    math of what 10% of 6% is anymore.


    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that
    still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches,
    and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She doesn't actually do any teaching because they are all of the students
    on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    Riiiiiiiight.

    Can be true for instances of a substitute who's doing a single day fill-in
    (we used to get to watch a movie) or who's assigned to watch over the
    Study Period room: a district does generally have discretion for where
    to place the subs, so a bad/weak one can go to the easier fills where
    they'll do less harm.

    I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant" libtard attempting to
    protect the union status quo.

    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that
    still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches,
    and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She
    doesn't actually do any teaching because they are all of the students
    on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes
    attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    And, YES, ten percent amounts to MILLIONS of parents homeschooling
    their kids. Even the Lyin' Asshole should be able to make such a
    SIMPLE calculation! Note that many parents can't afford to home
    school their kids, not from being unqualified, or the numbers would
    be higher. And the home school parents DON'T get any financial aid
    from the states, unlike public schools (they SHOULD!).

    Dementia has to be hell when you persist in a lie that has been exposed already.

    How does it feel to be outed as a liar and a demented old fart every
    day that you post your fabricated shite, Betty Boo Hoo?

    No, it is BETTER than the classroom.
    Think about it, what is the

    vs home?
    So homeschooling is better...

    ...but online schooling...

    ...with both a teacher AND a parent is

    Weird position to take there, Sunshine.

    Perhaps you didn't really think it
    through.

    :-)

    Boy, I am sensing the DESPERATION on your
    libtards part to justify the
    unjustifiable.
    I'm simply trying to understand how your
    brain can hold such contradictory positions.

    Hey Fool, I, again, am the MESSENGER: parents
    are leaving the union-run schools in a
    STAMPEDE. They are the ones that are calling
    the shots, NOT ME!

    But you're claiming that they're doing so because
    online instruction...

    Which is inherently parents homeschooling their
    children with the assistance of professional
    teachers.

    ...is somehow terrible... ...while plain
    homeschooling is better.
    Not only that, but Tom finally slips in the key
    word that underlies his motivation: "... union-run
    schools..."
    BTW, no, I did not have a child in the class,
    FOOL. But they ALL did send me a stack of
    THANKYOU cards - HAND MADE (I still have them
    - they are LOVELY)!
    All of which were completely unsolicited, and not
    an in-class exercise, right? (and why would that
    be? to teach the kids social etiquette skills?).

    And the reason why they were hand-made was because
    they were using the school's art supply materials.
    One of my first jobs was to help haul, inventory,
    sort, & distribute precisely those supplies in
    bulk, out to each teacher's classrooms.

    -hh

    PS: the answer on the rule of thumb is "FIVE".

    You fools simply can't accept that PARENTS are BETTER
    TEACHERS than these union toads.
    They're only better if the parent is a trained
    educator.

    FWIW, you've make yourself nakedly obvious that this
    really isn't about educational principles at all; it is
    merely that you've been told the you need to be
    anti-Union.



    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream
    of lies. You DON'T have to be a "trained" educator to be
    an educator, in fact, a superior one.

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to
    the general case. But they’re not the general case. That’s >>>>>> why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters,
    they are highly motivated and interested in their
    student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias. >>>>>> And just because someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that >>>>>> they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not
    resort to the least common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of
    ignorance: you & they don’t know how schools aggregate
    their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall
    attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the
    teacher doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the
    homeschooler is weak on results in a student who’s weak
    there too. Think of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper
    will do with science, but now multiply that by however many
    years it goes on for how screwed up the kid will get in
    science, etc. TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.

    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially _fewer_ resources to
    leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public
    schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which
    is why those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the
    reality of society.

    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students
    excel when compared to public schooled.
    https://homeeducator.com/homeschool-vs-public-school/

    As if that URL doesn’t have a fundamental conflict of
    interest!

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics
    is the whole social development of the child: their
    environment is away from their peers, often leaving
    homeschooled kids literally stunted. BT,DT.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves:
    They most certainly do: you've dodged every single one of the
    points above.

    ...home schooled students significantly outperform the
    machine students.

    Ever heard the expression "teach to the test"?
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test>

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on
    showing everyone just how little you actually know about the
    art & science of education.
    Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after
    the system FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they
    were GOOD AT IT!
    Substantiating citations conspicuously absent
    Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have
    never witnessed before. You can either accept that FACT, or
    you can continue what you are best at: lying and deceit.
    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in
    modest (<10%) shifts to greater homeschooling, but that's not
    proof that it is motivated by quality or anything other factor
    than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if the
    trend sticks, or reverses itself back down to traditional
    norms.

    As such, you'll have to hope that you die before 3-4 years have
    transpired to avoid the consequences of the real world data
    testing your still-unsupported causal claim.


    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned
    their kids to the machine called public schools.
    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September
    to June, as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the
    grade credit, especially when the homeschooler missed taking their
    state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year,
    there's been over 340,000 Americans who have died of CoVid,
    including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of roughly 30
    deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter
    schools as a result.

    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As
    such, it is less than one percentage point of the total education
    population, and on its own, it isn't significant enough to be
    shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on
    changes in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI,
    a town I've lived in went through the same school district
    shrinking ... way back in the 1980s, when the baby boomer bubble
    graduated out.
    Clearly, not all parents want to or can be teachers, but MILLIONS
    are - and VERY successfully.
    Oh, so now instead of them all being more competent than the
    trained professionals, its now a goalpost backslide where there's
    allegedly 'millions' who are 'successful'... ...for whatever
    constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test
    scores and not all of the many other social-centric factors which
    affect the overall development of a young adult into becoming a
    productive member of society.
    Again, don't argue with me - I'm just the messenger.
    No, you're a pissant parrot of partisan propaganda, who's agenda is
    to try to sabotage all public institutions so that they can be
    privatized for profit... which is precisely why only in the USA
    does insulin cost $300/vial.

    -hh

    My, my - the Lyin' Asshole is getting testy, is he? Any business that had a TEN PERCENT loss of business would go, appropriately, into
    panic mode. This is HUGE! Closing of schools is HUGE! And, YET AGAIN,
    I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant" libtard attempting to protect the union status quo.'>

    There hasn't BEEN a 10% loss of business, Sunshine.

    Poor Tommy ... a washed-up former Engineer who can't even do the
    math of what 10% of 6% is anymore.
    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches,

    Riiiiiiiight.
    Can be true for instances of a substitute who's doing a single day fill-in (we used to get to watch a movie) or who's assigned to watch over the
    Study Period room: a district does generally have discretion for where
    to place the subs, so a bad/weak one can go to the easier fills where they'll do less harm.

    -hh

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I note that you didn't even show your NEW MATH! The references I posted speak for themselves.

    BTW, talk about being washed up, you COULDN'T EVEN FIND my publications on google scholar, a fifth grade exercise!!!

    Boy, I am sensing the DESPERATION on your

    I'm simply trying to understand how your brain
    can hold such >> contradictory positions.

    Hey Fool, I, again, am the MESSENGER: parents
    are leaving the union-run schools in a
    STAMPEDE. They are the ones that are calling
    the shots, NOT ME!

    But you're claiming that they're doing so because online instruction...

    Which is inherently parents homeschooling their children with the assistance of professional
    teachers.

    ...is somehow terrible...
    ...while plain homeschooling is better.
    Not only that, but Tom finally slips in the key
    word that underlies his motivation: "... union-run schools..."
    BTW, no, I did not have a child in the class,
    FOOL. But they ALL did send me a stack of
    THANKYOU cards - HAND MADE (I still have them -
    they are LOVELY)!
    All of which were completely unsolicited, and not
    an in-class exercise, right? (and why would that
    be? to teach the kids social etiquette skills?).

    And the reason why they were hand-made was because
    they were using the school's art supply materials.
    One of my first jobs was to help haul, inventory,
    sort, & distribute precisely those supplies in
    bulk, out to each teacher's classrooms.

    -hh

    PS: the answer on the rule of thumb is "FIVE".

    You fools simply can't accept that PARENTS are BETTER TEACHERS than these union toads.
    They're only better if the parent is a trained
    educator.

    FWIW, you've make yourself nakedly obvious that this
    really isn't about educational principles at all; it is merely that you've been told the you need to be
    anti-Union.



    Hey Lyin' Asshole, you are continuing your steady stream
    of lies. You DON'T have to be a "trained" educator to be
    an educator, in fact, a superior one.

    Pedantically, you are correct that there are exceptions to
    the general case. But they’re not the general case. That’s why you make fun of non-engineers.

    A parent is an excellent candidate because, for starters,
    they are highly motivated and interested in their
    student(s).

    Unfortunately, they’re also the ones with the highest bias. And just because someone is “motivated” doesn’t mean that they’re automatically any good.

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not
    resort to the least common denominator.

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of ignorance: you & they don’t know how schools aggregate
    their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the teacher doesn’t rotate out after a year. Topics that the
    homeschooler is weak on results in a student who’s weak
    there too. Think of how poorly a creationist bible-thumper
    will do with science, but now multiply that by however many years it goes on for how screwed up the kid will get in
    science, etc. TL;DR: these weaknesses snowball.

    They have PLENTY of teaching resources to draw from,

    Sorry, but they have materially fewer resources to
    leverage.

    … and they can include religious instruction that public schools can't.

    Religion is an all too common reason why it’s done, which
    is why those kids end up being pretty fucked up out in the reality of society.

    The results speak for themselves: home schooled students
    excel when compared to public schooled. https://homeeducator.com/homeschool-vs-public-school/

    As if that URL doesn’t have a fundamental conflict of interest!

    Plus what’s totally missing from their performance metrics
    is the whole social development of the child: their
    environment is away from their peers, often leaving
    homeschooled kids literally stunted. BT,DT.


    Hey Lyin' Asshole, the results speak for themselves:
    They most certainly do: you've dodged every single one of the
    points above.

    ...home schooled students significantly outperform the
    machine students.

    Ever heard the expression "teach to the test"? <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test>

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on
    showing everyone just how little you actually know about the
    art & science of education.
    Covid forced parents into becoming their own teachers after
    the system FUCKED THEM OVER - and they found out that they
    were GOOD AT IT!
    Substantiating citations conspicuously absent
    Hence, there is a transition to home schooling like we have
    never witnessed before. You can either accept that FACT, or
    you can continue what you are best at: lying and deceit.
    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in
    modest (<10%) shifts to greater homeschooling, but that's not
    proof that it is motivated by quality or anything other factor
    than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if the
    trend sticks, or reverses itself back down to traditional norms.

    As such, you'll have to hope that you die before 3-4 years have transpired to avoid the consequences of the real world data
    testing your still-unsupported causal claim.


    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned
    their kids to the machine called public schools.
    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September
    to June, as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the
    grade credit, especially when the homeschooler missed taking their
    state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year, there's been over 340,000 Americans who have died of CoVid,
    including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of roughly 30
    deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter
    schools as a result.
    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As
    such, it is less than one percentage point of the total education population, and on its own, it isn't significant enough to be
    shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on
    changes in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI,
    a town I've lived in went through the same school district
    shrinking ... way back in the 1980s, when the baby boomer bubble graduated out.
    Clearly, not all parents want to or can be teachers, but MILLIONS
    are - and VERY successfully.
    Oh, so now instead of them all being more competent than the
    trained professionals, its now a goalpost backslide where there's allegedly 'millions' who are 'successful'... ...for whatever
    constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test
    scores and not all of the many other social-centric factors which
    affect the overall development of a young adult into becoming a productive member of society.
    Again, don't argue with me - I'm just the messenger.
    No, you're a pissant parrot of partisan propaganda, who's agenda is
    to try to sabotage all public institutions so that they can be privatized for profit... which is precisely why only in the USA
    does insulin cost $300/vial.

    -hh

    My, my - the Lyin' Asshole is getting testy, is he? Any business that
    had a TEN PERCENT loss of business would go, appropriately, into
    panic mode. This is HUGE! Closing of schools is HUGE! And, YET AGAIN,
    I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant" libtard attempting to protect the union status quo.

    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that
    still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches,
    and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She doesn't actually do any teaching because they are all of the students
    on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    And, YES, ten percent amounts to MILLIONS of parents homeschooling
    their kids. Even the Lyin' Asshole should be able to make such a
    SIMPLE calculation! Note that many parents can't afford to home
    school their kids, not from being unqualified, or the numbers would
    be higher. And the home school parents DON'T get any financial aid
    from the states, unlike public schools (they SHOULD!).
    Dementia has to be hell when you persist in a lie that has been exposed already.

    How does it feel to be outed as a liar and a demented old fart every
    day that you post your fabricated shite, Betty Boo Hoo?

    Can be true for instances of a substitute who's doing a single day fill-in (we used to get to watch a movie) or who's assigned to watch over the Study Period room: a district does generally have discretion for where
    to place the subs, so a bad/weak one can go to the easier fills where they'll do less harm.

    All of which were completely unsolicited, and not

    They can tailor the curriculum for the student, not

    First, the “LCD” factor is fear-mongering, oft out of
    ignorance: you & they don’t know how schools aggregate
    their students into performance tiers, to maximize overall
    attainment growth rates.

    Also, a big weaknesses of homeschooling is that the

    All you're doing is digging your own hole even deeper on
    showing everyone just how little you actually know about the

    Oh, there is no doubt that the CoVid pandemic resulted in
    modest (<10%) shifts to greater homeschooling, but that's not
    proof that it is motivated by quality or anything other factor
    than the pandemic. It will take another ~3 years to see if the

    LOL! The pandemic is OVER, but these parents haven't returned
    their kids to the machine called public schools.
    Poor Tommy, he doesn't realize that the school year runs September
    to June, as a midyear changeout can often mean the loss of the
    grade credit, especially when the homeschooler missed taking their
    state tests.

    Plus regarding his "its over" claim, for during this school year,
    there's been over 340,000 Americans who have died of CoVid,
    including 22,000 last month ... yes, that's a rate of roughly 30
    deaths per hour.

    Ten percent is HUGE - school districts are having to shutter
    schools as a result.

    No, its a 10% growth of the ~6% of the homeschooled population. As
    such, it is less than one percentage point of the total education
    population, and on its own, it isn't significant enough to be
    shutting down schools: that's basic population demographics on
    changes in immigration & birth rates over the past 5-15 years. FYI, >> a town I've lived in went through the same school district

    constitutes successful, since Tommy's only shown proficiency test
    scores and not all of the many other social-centric factors which
    affect the overall development of a young adult into becoming a

    My, my - the Lyin' Asshole is getting testy, is he? Any business that had a TEN PERCENT loss of business would go, appropriately, into
    panic mode. This is HUGE! Closing of schools is HUGE! And, YET AGAIN, I am only the messenger - YOU are the "pissant" libtard attempting to protect the union status quo.'>

    There hasn't BEEN a 10% loss of business, Sunshine.

    Poor Tommy ... a washed-up former Engineer who can't even do the
    math of what 10% of 6% is anymore.

    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches, and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She doesn't actually do any teaching because they are all of the students on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    Riiiiiiiight.
    Can be true for instances of a substitute who's doing a single day fill-in (we used to get to watch a movie) or who's assigned to watch over the Study Period room: a district does generally have discretion for where
    to place the subs, so a bad/weak one can go to the easier fills where they'll do less harm.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I note that you didn't even show your NEW MATH!
    The references I posted speak for themselves.

    Tommy needs someone to tell him that a 10% increase on 6% equals 6.6%.

    BTW, talk about being washed up, you COULDN'T EVEN FIND my publications
    on google scholar, a fifth grade exercise!!!

    I specifically avoided doxxing you via the transposed spelling;
    you're welcome.

    There hasn't BEEN a 10% loss of business, Sunshine.

    Poor Tommy ... a washed-up former Engineer who can't even do the
    math of what 10% of 6% is anymore.

    I talked with my neighbor today, a semi-retired school teacher that still does substitute teaching. I asked her what grade she teaches, and she said whatever one they send her to, mostly high school. She doesn't actually do any teaching because they are all of the students
    on their laptops doing computerized instruction - she just takes attendance. Now, that doesn't take a "professional" teacher!

    Riiiiiiiight.
    Can be true for instances of a substitute who's doing a single day fill-in
    (we used to get to watch a movie) or who's assigned to watch over the Study Period room: a district does generally have discretion for where to place the subs, so a bad/weak one can go to the easier fills where they'll do less harm.

    Hey Lyin' Asshole, I note that you didn't even show your NEW MATH!
    The references I posted speak for themselves.
    Tommy needs someone to tell him that a 10% increase on 6% equals 6.6%.

    Well, there was "High-Definition Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry with Resolving

    Similarly, Parts 1 & 2 of "A cabled acoustic telemetry system for detecting and tracking
    juvenile salmon", you weren't the primary author there either.

    "RSG Deployment Case Testing Results"? "3-D Multispectral Monitoring of Living-Cell
    Signaling Using Confocal-Imaging and FPGA Processing"? Not primary author for either.

    And "Präzisionsbearbeitung mit dem Wasserabrasivinjektorstrahl" is a different person.
