I've heard the teacher ask the kids multiple times to ask their parents to buy whiteboards for them to use. She hasn't requested this in any of the emails she's sent to parents. Ditto asking kids to print things in the middle of class instead of alerting parents beforehand.

Parents who actually have printers probably aren't keeping them in whatever space their kid is using to work right now! They're most likely in an adult's office! You know, WHERE THAT ADULT IS WORKING.

You can *try* to look at the schedule & figure out what stuff needs printing ahead of time, but it's not obvious! Stuff you'd think needed printing turns out not to be an activity they're meant to do, or else you're meant to switch over to the physical workbook (if you have one)

Last semester, the school gave parents a work-from-home schedule and let us do that with kids in our own time. But now that's seemingly no longer an option, because we have to pretend that this is Regular School once more, which means making adults live to a 7yo class schedule.

Zoom would be great for letting students talk in small groups, while superverised by the teacher, or doing one on one time. But having them all in one big meeting while the teacher talks and they can't interact with each other is just exhausting and bad and depressing.

I'm so done with this, you guys, and I only have the one kid! Do you know how much worse this is for parents with multiple kids in different grades? I've gone one friend with five kids, four of whom are doing virtual school; the fifth is still a baby. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

Yep. Same here in the US. My school actually said our kids should have a “partner adult” attend zoom meetings w/kids and assist with work. So they at least set the expectation.

Idk why, but for some reason I have been convinced you lived in New Zealand? But hi! I’m in KY, whereabouts are you all?

Ah, cool! Sorry you’re having to sit through 2nd again. We’re doing 2nd and 4th over here. It’s an experience for sure.
