0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>An eighth grade student in New York City, has written

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>an op ed in The New York Times and I

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:08.120
<v Speaker 1>cannot believe they ran. Thirteen year old very Neat Mints

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.400
<v Speaker 1>says that she's learning more with distance learning like at home,

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>than she did when her school was open. Now. She

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>says that before the coronavirus lockdown, she had to put

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>up with other students talking out of turn every day. Uh,

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>They destroyed classroom materials, openly disrespected to teachers. They blurted

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>out answers during tests. She says that other students regularly

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>pushed and kicked and hit each other, and that was

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>life in her middle school every single day. Now she

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>wrote about the problems was so called collaborative learning, which

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>she says accounts for eighty percent of classroom work in

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>her school. It's done in groups. Dedicated students have to

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>try to make the unmotivated kids finish assignments and behave

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But distance learning has allowed ms Mints to take control

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>of her own studies. She can now focus on her

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>work and is not being held back by the loop.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Ms Mints, I want to thank you. You have single

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>handedly explained why so many parents in New York and

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in other blue cities want school choice, they want to say,

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and where they send their kids to school so they

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>won't have to put up with what you've been forced

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.759
<v Speaker 1>to put up with every day until the coronavirus saved you.

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>How about that
