Can the United States survive the predicted Bird Flu Pandemic? Will we be forced to alter our lifestyles, wear masks and forego large public areas, activities and events? What about our children, school and education? Large Universities can go virtual but what about our elementary, middles schools and high schools?
I propose that we figure out a way for home schooling in the case of a United States out break, epidemic or pandemic of evolved Bird Flu virus. Education must go on in our schools, but if kids cannot go to school as it would be a breading ground for Bird Flu then they must learn at home and in doing so we must be sure that they are taught correctly.
There are many such home schooling experts whose at home schooling parents consistently teach their children with methodology which allows these children to outperform and blow away the average or even high end test scores of those kids in public schools. Here is one home schooling group that is on the ball:

There are many such brilliant home schooling groups throughout the country who are blowing the doors off the public school results. If we have a Bird Flu pandemic we all need to be thinking here.
No one wants to see a pandemic that kills 150 million people World Wide and certainly no one in the United States wishes to see their fellow countrymen in dire agony or sure death. Yet we must be thinking here and be sure to have a plan to school our kids in a virtual way and using home schooling methodology in this potential eventuality. Indeed, we may find out that smarter kids could in fact be one of the only positive out comes of such a horrific human tragedy? Think on this, think about the children.
