I'm going to somehow follow into [mention]Mary May[/mention]'s footsteps and try to limit my writing to the confines of this blog.
I'm also going to make some comments about other forum posts that I find interesting, adding the links to the source posts, of course.

Mary May, the question was what to do with practical courses and specialties that cannot be taught distantly, it's just impossible.
As for kids at school, we're talking about mass education, only a part of them can learn via gadgets or PCs. Not only our teachers felt it, but teachers in America or Europe, although they had programmes for DE. I've talked to them.
I do not support any DE bans, BTW.

Really?
- I thought we were talking of the above, and also of Julie's future linguists/interpreters/whoever.
- and that's what really happens. Nothing scary or even special about it. They should be flexible. All of us should :)
My bad, sorry.

The world has changed. You will have to learn completely new things throughout your life if you really want to stay relevant. Graduating from any university means nothing, nothing at all. It's just a tiny baby step toward life success while success in life is a series of thousands of steps that need to be taken if you want to amount to anything.

mustang, you're talking about some philosophy, not legal and practical things. I'm talking about formal eduction. If you do not want to get it or to have your child get a degree, it's your induvidual choice. But governments and states , as well as businesses and labour market, haven't rejected it and are not going to do it in the future. Still, the dumb policy of the state interferes and prevents people from fulfiling their rights.
Don't be so sarcastic about suing with the ECHR, there've been a great deal of cases like that, and the've already got claims of people from different countries.

Please. Let's stay polite here.
I know a lot of people who practised music (including singing in a choir!) online in spring. Yes, it was a bit difficult at first, but they adapted. Although I agree that not everything can be practised online, but I agree with [mention]mustang[/mention] - we can restructure the syllabus a bit and come back to it later, at least when the situation in hospitals isn't so drastic.
Now you're telling us we should quit. And what if we get vaccinated in January, or it will calm down a bit and it won't be so scary to get ill?
Probably you want to say requiring some hands-on XP because our specialisation is practical too; it's just another kind of practice that you can do online.

Mary May,
sorry for the off-topic, but is it you in the profile pic?
If yes, I can only quote J. K. Jerome: 'Two lovely black eyes, oh, what a surprise!' :)

Again, you call all online education like this in a sweeping motion. You insult all of us, and it's not the first time.
So, teachers' rights should be neglected, right?
And it's not just me who thinks so: https://mel.fm/uchitelyam/598123-paul_e ... yandex.com The title and # 5 really resonate with me.

I am afraid you are mistaken. A college degree is becoming a relic of the past/a foot in the door at best. Yes, it might give you an edge over people with less formal education but only if there’s no other candidates that perhaps have not attended as many lectures as you did but have a lot of on-the-job experience. They have not gone to university but nevertheless learned the ins and outs of your field and any employer in his right mind would rather hire a person like this than a recent college graduate that still can’t tell one part of his anatomy from the other.
In many fields (like programming, day trading, sales, the list goes on and on) big international companies recruit people who have already proven themselves to be more than capable of doing their job properly. Who would you hire? A 19-year-old college drop-out who has been involved in complex programming projects, built a website from scratch and so on and so forth or someone with a degree/a solid theory base but little practical experience?
Or, let’s say, there’s this very young guy who has been trading real money for the last 6 years, he’s by no means a genius but he has already made all the rookie mistakes and now makes more money than he loses. Would you really choose someone with a college diploma over him? No university will teach you what that young day trader has already taught himself on his own.

Thanks :)
I considered it as a sort of a message - in order not to be dragged into further disputes on the topic every now and then. As they say, an image is worth a thousand words.
We'll see whether or not I can stick to my intention (not so sure about it).

Thanks to [mention]Харбин Хэйлунцзян[/mention]'s lists, I've had an epiphany today: why a roller coaster is called a roller COASTER. In the past, I used to wonder lazily how it could be connected with the seaside coast. Spoiler: in no way :)

And I immediately recalled one of my favourite Xmas films, 'Love Actually', where the Prime Minister says:
We will, of course, try to be clever… But let's not forget that America is the most powerful country in the world. I'm not going to act like a petulant child.

By sheer luck, I've discovered a language switch button on some of the channels on my TV streaming box. I'd seen it before, but it didn't work, so I assumed it was useless. I was wrong, and most of my favourite film channels switch to English. So, over the past few days I rewatched some films and saw several new ones.
I can wholeheartedly recommend two (rather old) films with Julianne Moore: 'Cookie's Fortune' and 'The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio'. Each of them possesses its own kind of charm: the southern kind for the former and the 50s kind for the latter.
Also, I followed my student's recommendations and read 'Matilda', but I have mixed feelings about it though Roald Dahl is a master by all means.
