"The trigger was Covid, but what really happened was suddenly millions of parents could directly see what their schools and teachers were like because we watched our kids work remotely all day for a year."

This kind of myopyic outlook that conflates the then-traditional instruction period to the remote instruction paradigm greatly cheapens every other point of your argument.

None of the teaching staff that had to adapt to that period of time were trained to make that experience 1:1 for the prior expectations and to use that as a basis to judge their entire ability is petty as fuck.

GP mentioned they were totally incompetent in their subject areas. It doesn't matter what medium they are transferring information through if they have no information to transfer.

  • Would you care to quote the parts that highlight the incompetence you induced from the comment?

    All I see is the parent watching their students teacher conduct class in a paradigm that wasn't trained, for the first time. Nobody liked the isolation period, but to base judgement on the system on those criteria is childishly petty.

    Be curious to see where their student stacks up now. I know all ages were hit with learning and social issues due to the isolation period, but the 5/4yo entering the edu now are back on whatever 'normal' is considered.
