It's just really dismissive of what people who actually work in education have to deal with.he's just trying to hire a tutor for his kid because he thinks public school will be cancelled this semester.If he was just trying to do that, he would just do that instead of creating a hashtag and blogging about it.I guarantee his VC fund is going to invest in a #microschool startup that acts like they're inventing a new concept that is really just rebranded tutoring. He said as much in his feed

When I go back in I'm going to look like the Halo guy or the Fallout guy.
I'm really curious about how long schools will stay open. And how they will decide to shut down. And how decisions about doing so will vary.

Would be a good poll question - by what date will all schools in KS (or your state) be shut back down?

i'm not a lawyer, but it would seem to me that a lot of school districts are just begging to get sued here pretty soon.
