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.

    And make sure they remember it for the rest of their lives. Yes, I know, the US way is to protect children from moral trauma and such shit - don't do it. Show them how bad it really is. They can handle it and they don't get sick while they spread the disease. They should carry the blame for the rest of their lives. Why? So they will do something about it when they rule the world.
