There is a new thing starting to happen in some places around the country: “Pandemic pods,” which are formed by families who can afford it, team up and pay for a teacher to come instruct their children. For some of the parents, the instruction represents tutoring for material that students get at school. For others, it is a substitute. Some call it “micro schooling,” as did one educator on Facebook who wrote: “I’ve been hired as a white educator to teach a group of 5 white second graders (formerly in public schools) for the upcoming school year in a micro school setting.

If the Washington Post is against them, I'm all for them. I don't even need to waste my time reading the article.

Classic Nazi article. Steal tax payer money to indoctrinate children with Nazi garbage and turn them loose on America. They learn nothing but libturd Nazi doctrine.
Nazis are always threatened when some one stands up to them. They cry, stamp their feet and site the downfall of the edjimakation system. Nazis are bullies as witnessed on a national scale of late.
Nazis are worried that if American parents have caught on to their nefarious doings how will the department of edjimakation survive and thrive? How will their unions be funded? THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
I sat, good for the parents. Take firm hold of the schooling of your children. About time!!!

I predicted that this would happen two months ago. Virtual schools will only work for maybe 15-20% of school kids. Those are the motivated ones with motivated parents. For the rest, it's a lost learning year. These "pods" are a great idea and will be less expensive than a full-time private school. The WAPO is simply afraid that parents are waking up to the public education scam.

The Geswapo maunders on. Don't they know that their blackletter font masthead is evil? And democracy dies in a face mask.

I've been telling myself lately that if I ever win a huge lottery jackpot, then I'm opening a charter school in my hometown. The public school systems have ruined this country.

FTA - Some of these are parents using their financial might to supplement their children’s online education in ways that other parents cannot, and some of these parents have dis-enrolled their children from public school.
The WaPo is backed by some serious "financial might". If financial might is an indication of a problem then this journalist needs to find a more fair minded employer.

So they are doing as our ancestors did in past centuries, before the leftards push centralized schooling and control. Good.
Remember a school is a log with a teacher on one end and a student on the other end - Lazarus Long.

Why didn't this 'White Educator' check her privilege and volunteer her services to poor inner city youth? Race only matters to racists so we see where she is coming from.

My children have already been educated so I have no dog in this fight. But under current conditions, I would be using a Christian-friendly homeschool program for my kids that did not dwell on "social justice" like the drippy, apologetic white teacher in the opening of the article. I learned to read at an early age and not only did I have good teachers, but I had a wonderful mother, who was not educated beyond high school but took me to the library every week. She and my dad cared enough to learn what I was passionate about and to give me the means to teach myself new concepts and skills. They sacrificed for a private kindergarten back in the days when public kindergartens did not exist. I started elementary school with a reading level well above my peers because they cared more about me than they did about having a better car or costly entertainment.
Many of the parents who commented on the article rightly said for the author to shove it. They would do what was best for their kids no matter what the social justice warriors thought about it. Looking out for your own is what parenting is all about.

Isn't the author and WaPo racist for thinking that black parents are not making arrangements to educate their kids? Being able to find better education for their children has become a big issue with a large segment of black parents. The WaPo and the teacher education professors at Yale are more interested in controlling the public schools and keeping kids on the plantation.

This is absolutely effin brilliant, I do love our President, who is obviously the brain child behind this plan. The crazy deranged MSM and Democrat Party will be screaming to reopen schools now, because if they don't, this is what's going to happen. BRILLIANT.

This insanity in amazing . Even progressives want what's best for their children as opposed to the equal outcome garbage they spout. Since when is wanting the best for your children racist? Dr. Ben Carson got to where he is today because his illiterate mother pushed him to be the best that he could be.
