One positive thing about Covid-19 is that it will change the nature of public education. Presently, public education is a prison system of keeping children in a crowded room for the majority of their day, so they cannot have free will. This cannot continue in light of "social distancing."
Solution (in my opinion): Make the school day half as long and divide the class size in half. Divide the school children into two groups that alternately occupy the classroom. The advantage of this is that children will get much more free autonomous time to determine their own fates.
My life was destroyed why I entered kindergarten. I lost all control over my life and I lost all optimism about my enjoyment of life when I started school at four and a half years old. Grade School in USA America just sucks.
The current political conflicts are directly attributable to the influence of "Public Education." The concepts of individual academic achievement, with NO individual autonomous life direction, having top priority destroys the creative intellectual life of most children. This is not accidental.
Public Education is designed to destroy the inner creative life of innocent children. This system is designed to make "good factory workers" to be taken advantage of by the corporate powers. Unfortunately, this ideology destroys the positive, self loving, generous, enthusiastic "love of life" attitude that any valid Democracy requires for long term survival. America was doomed.
Maybe the pandemic will rescue USA America children from the oppressive "prison system" that we presently call "Public Education." Maybe the pandemic will help us reexamine the priorities that the USA uses to "guide and harness" the intellectual life of young children in the Public Education system.
