SoylentNews is people

from the virtual-teaching dept.

With Wuhan Coronavirus spreading in New York City, parents, Parent Teacher Associations, and schools seem to be inevitably headed for extended shutdowns and quarantines. The Department of Education is crossing its fingers, wiping down all surfaces, and hoping to avert the worst without closing schools, but parents are going to need contingency plans.

Do Soylentils have recommendations for online resources that members of NYC's school boards can share with the parent community to help kids keep up with their school work? Khan Academy is an excellent resource for math & science; it doesn't span every subject but something like it that grade school kids can understand would be ideal.

    Are there some sites on multiple ways to mis-implement basic software functionality? Something that works for a basic test, but fails maintainability, readability, extendability, security, doesn't performance-scale ... ?

    Those examples would be great to learn from, plus you'd just have to read all of 20 additional pieces of crappy code in your lifetime, but you could do it much earlier in your career.
