End 2020 School Year Early
End the 2020 School Year Early: average out the grades received before the pandemic, provide a final grade, do an early release of summer vacations and either start the next school year a little earlier or offer voluntary summer school distant learning to keep the students busy. This initiative may also help re-purpose the remaining budget of this academic year wherever is most needed.
Why is this important?
Although, it is a great initiative to do distant learning, parents and/or students are not fully equipped, mentally, emotionally to successfully provide or acquire the education that is provided by an official educator. This initiative will also keep the educators and households sane as we survive and readjust because of this pandemic. It will also provide a more realistic grade point average for schools and students not to lose their academic status.
