Quarantine check in
RokofAges75:
So Illinois officially cancelled school for the rest of the year. It's sad to think I won't be going back until (hopefully) August and probably won't see my students in person until they're fifth-graders. There are certain aspects of online learning that I enjoy - mainly the fact that I can stay in my pajamas and drink coffee, eat breakfast, and use the bathroom whenever I want to - but otherwise it's all the worst parts of teaching, like planning and constantly communicating with parents, without any of the fun parts.
These kids are missing out on so many fun experiences that happen near the end of the school year that just can't be replicated virtually, and that makes me sad. At least mine will have two more years at our school, so unless they move over the summer, we'll see each other again next year. But I feel for the kids who are graduating or moving on to another school next year and may not see their teachers or classmates again.
Mistral:
Here in Quebec I don’t think the school gonna open until next year because we have almost 20 thousand cases.
I’m gonna have my birthday in total lockdown and it’s suck a lot!

That’s unfortunate. I saw that announcement on the news and thought of you. I’m glad I haven’t had to deal with online teaching, but at least it’s a way to still connect with your kids. I really feel bad for the seniors. I know back in Bethlehem, they are thinking of doing a drive thru ceremony. Pre taping speeches by the valedictorian and principal and then doing a slide show of the seniors at the local drive thru theater. They still haven’t made the call for Up here.
