Seems to me you can’t make up your mind about distance learning. While you condemn the distance learning engaged in to protect students and teachers during the pandemic you sing the praises of distance learning for students of such fraudulent online charter schools like ECOT.

So what’s your position on distance learning? Answer: Concerning public schools dealing with the dangers posed by a deadly pandemic you oppose it but concerning criminal enterprises like the online charter school ECOT you support it. You are a hypocrite.


Lauren Bowen is blaming, shaming and accusing teachers of lower test scores, depression, substance abuse and even suicide.

Lauren Bowen is a hypocrite. She opposes Columbus teachers looking out for the safety of their students, families and communities while supporting online distance learning charter schools like ECOT.

In a press release she said ” at least educators will get a two-week reprieve while displaced students continue to deal with the real epidemic caused by two years’ worth of enforced distance learning — lower test scores, reduced motivation, depression, substance abuse and even suicide.”

Give Lauren Bowen a piece of your mind below.
