virtual school starts again tomorrow and we have an email from the teacher saying she expects her 7yo students to be as "accountable" about their work right now as they would be in class and I want to SCREAM INTO THE FUCKING VOID BECAUSE 7YOS ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING

is the work they're doing being graded? no. would it be graded ordinarily? also no. does "student accountability" mean "parents must photograph the work their kids do, email it to the computer their child is using and then upload it on canvas"? EVIDENTLY SO.

the situation right now sucks. it sucks for everyone - kids, teachers, parents. is it so much to ask for the schools to ACKNOWLEDGE that it sucks, and is imperfect? to stop chirpily pretending that Everything Will Be Cool And Normal Actually If You Follow Every Instruction?

I have over a decade's experience in dealing with Bullshit Administrative Busywork Because Capitalism Doesn't Like To Acknowledge That Admin Work Has Natural Slow Periods, You Must Be Busy At ALL TIMES Or Your Salary Isn't Justified, and virtual school is HITTING SOME BUTTONS

Replying to @sloch @fozmeadows
My 6yo is behind on his 1st grade assignments bc the teacher created a new class and didn't tell every to check it. Today we got an email saying "hey, be sure to do all the assignments the day they're assigned".... And 10 new assignments.
