Can someone explain to me why we aren’t just moving to a school system where 1 teacher can zoom class to 200-300 students like a college lecture hall? Why are we bothering with stuffing kids into classrooms

Because kids need real human connection. Its difficult to stay interested in a 200 person lecture hall. Now imagine how that would go with 5th graders....

Yes also interested to hear more on what country you’re from OP and what brings you to this line of thinking. Absolutely staggering you believe this churn and burn approach is appropriate for kids at these critical stages of social and intellectual development. I hesitate to ask if you’re a parent yourself to even suggest this.

Is this a joke?

Do you have any children? Have you interacted with any lately? I have two. They did great in virtual learning. Worked hard and got all As, but they started this year on in-person school behind their peers despite the fact that they are in their school’s G/T program and otherwise do well.

Kids need to ask questions. On the spot questions. You can't wait until the end of an hour worth of building content to answer a kid's question and they lost the whole hour because step 1 of 5 in a math problem sequence wasn't understood. Remote works for college kids, not elementary school kids. And even with adults, if no interaction is required with the professor then why not a canned youtube video. No need for live anything if you're delivering to more than 50-100 people.

Says the “data scientist “…. Sigh

same reason you can’t develop as a consultant sitting on Zoom

Only a data scientist stuck at his desk all day every day would have a ridiculous view like this...
