From experience, that homeschooling decision can take about 10 mins- an hour, And while a single family home learning environment Is a lot over 3-4 years, how much simplified is multifamily? Ffs, we're in "it takes a village" territory, all 60's communes.

So like in Fuller Park nabe of Chicago, the gangs are the equivalent of the "village", so like they can do Zoom classes in how to acquire a piece and just in general teach street smarts 101? I can only imagine what the moms in Metcalf Park in Milwaukee are planning for curriculum...they only just learned why it's important to wear masks the other day.

Throwing teargas Is on next week's lesson plan. Montessori truncheon wielding. Making your own incendiary devices... [You most learn to carry your own primers and explosive components to your work stations without spilling]

Thinking about the digital divide, & the way universities & K-12 schools are left to pick up the slack. Local data:
Internet access is strongly related to income
<$20,000: 39% w/out internet
$20,000- 74,000: 17% w/out internet
$75,000+: 4.9% w/out internethttps://t.co/hsqjwdhB4y

and I am thinking about the Tennessee Valley Authority and the changes it wrought by bringing electricity to areas that were not served in 1933.
