Second Short Quiz – COVID & Teacher Union Damage To Inner-City Children

[The Original Proposal had included this subject as well as Thomas Sowell vs. Stanford University -- please see viewtopic.php?f=657&t=2103&sid=93b068d1 ... 7466c74c09.]


1. Did virtually all K-12 public-schools conduct classes during at least the last school-year via Zoom?

2. Did study after study demonstrate that such “remote teaching” (as distinguished from “remote LEARNING”) was an UNMITIGATED DISASTER from BOTH an educational viewpoint AND from a sociological viewpoint?

3. Did affluent parents (including many prominent pols) put their children in private or parochial schools that featured IN-PERSON LEARNING (emphasis on both “in person” and “learning”)?

4. During the COVID crisis, were there many categories of ESSENTIAL WORKERS (medical personnel, first responders, agricultural and food-industry and grocery-store workers, etc., etc.) who performed their jobs?

5. Indeed, weren’t the IN-PERSON private-parochial-school teachers acting as ESSENTIAL WORKERS for the affluent???

6. Did public-school teachers SHIRK THEIR RESPONSIBILITY by refusing to do their duty of IN-PERSON teaching for America’s poor children?

7. Were public-school teachers able to SHIRK THEIR DUTY as a result of the political power of their unions?

8. Why do the pols fail to balance the needs of America’s poor children against the naked power of the teachers’ unions?

9. Is this yet another example of how corrupt America’s so-called “democracy” is???

10. In other words, what we have always termed each time we study how pols constantly lie to voters while not daring to lie to campaign contributors – “The Best Government That Money Can Buy”???

11. In other words, do you think there are more teachers in America who would vote for damaging our K-12 poor children, or more parents who would vote for serving the needs of our K-12 poor children?
