Missing the point

“All you need in a contractual relationship is promises and consideration,” Zavareei told MarketWatch in an article about the increasing number of class actions lawsuits from students to their colleges.

Due to covid-19 schools have been ordered to close premises but also to keep “schooling” at a distance.

If they think that just by sticking to the argument that “we only provide education” will get them off the hook, then they are missing the point completely.

First just take a look at some of their sites and advertising. You will find there promises of certain performance once you’ve finished school in the sense of getting a job or funding startups, things we all now, they won’t deliver on their promise.

And for basic schooling, primary, secondary and high schools, if they think their only responsibility is to transfer hard knowledge, then they are blind to the fact that families (parents and students) are solving with schools so much more issues than just learning 1+1.

Zoom classes won’t do the trick. Families will migrate to better solutions. In what shape will these new solutions come?
