Dairy entry about online classes during covid 19 pandemic
Answers
Answer:
Monday was my third, first day of school this year. Our high school students returned to face to face instruction on Monday, September 21st two weeks after our middle school students returned and four weeks after the entire district started online (August 24).
We still have some students who are totally online. Having to teach students online and face to face at the same time is not sustainable for the long haul. The pace of the online students is so much slower than that of the students in the classroom. The whole situation is causing a lot of undue stress among the staff.
On a positive note, face to face instruction is going well. Students have adapted to wearing a mask and social distancing fairly quickly. I continue to take my students outside when possible. They seem to enjoy working in the school’s orchard learning about apple trees and helping to clean up the orchard and bring it back into production.
