Comment on The Case Against Homeworkparent

Comments

When I was near the end of high school they introduced essentially this structure in an effort to be more digital. I felt it was inferior to just a regular classes by a lot.

I feel being physically present with the teacher imparts things better, it’s easier to pay attention, plus also you can’t ask a video lecture questions. For the online class like this, the in-classroom teacher was pretty checked out too, so if you had questions they weren’t all that helpful.

If you ever got behind it was actually harder to catch up.

Now that wasn’t using Khan Academy where there are different learning paths and you can focus on areas you’re weak and breeze through your strengths, so I don’t konw how that compares.
