Remote learning could replace the practice of a teacher standing in
front of a classroom instructing students in the post-coronavirus area,
Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested Tuesday.
Cuomo dropped the bombshell while announcing a partnership with the
Gates Foundation to “reimagine” education in the post-COVID era.
“One of the areas we can really learn from is education because the
old model of our education system where everyone sits in a classroom is
not going to work in the new normal,” the governor said at a press
briefing Tuesday at his Manhattan office.
“And you do that all across the city, all across the state, all these
buildings, all these physical classrooms,” he said. “Why? With all the
technology you have?”
“When we do reopen our schools let’s reimagine them for the future,
and to do that we are collaborating with the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation and exploring smart, innovative education alternatives using
all the new technology we have at our disposal.”
What's this
"the new normal" shit he keeps bringing up? Obviously to justify then implement privatization of all government departments and services while maintaining a climate and culture of fear and a stranglehold on power. This is dangerous.
