Dishonest or just intentionally misleading

The case of the Ohio Board of Ed vs ECOT reached the Ohio Supreme Court in Feb. 2018. ECOT argued that "enrollment" was the criterion on which funding should be based, while the State basically argued that the testimony of the administrators of Ecot itself {he admitted that a child could be "enrolled" but not even spend 1 minute (over the entire school year) logged on to the school site} resulted in an "absurd outcome" and is therefore an erroneous interpretation and that the OH BOE is authorized to determine the correct interpretation.

This article misleads: it claims that students were "expected" to spend 25 hrs/week (for a total of 920 hrs/yr) in "educational work" but there was NO requirement or consequence for NOT spending even a single minute doing "educational work. Also, in actual fact ECOT includes things like reading, research, homework, and "enrichment activities" as being "educational work" which contrasts markedly with a student in a physical public or private school who will spend roughly 5 hrs a day in a CLASSROOM & then participate in things such as (library or more likely on-line) research, reading (for class!), and sports, etc. in addition to those 4-5 hrs a day. The claim that these two things are "comparable" is true but misleading: a flea is comparable to the planet Jupiter, since any two things are "comparable", BUT they mean to mislead the reader into thinking that they are "equivalent" or even "similar" and they simply are not. So, I object to the claim that students were "expected" since anyone paying attention to the students would know that they didn't come close to spending 25 hrs/wk in study related activities and I object to the fatuous claim that those 25 hrs are "comparable" to the ~5 hrs a day/5 days a week students spend in physical schools. ECOT dissolved for a very good reason.98.21.72.69 (talk) 07:25, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
