"When will "the ask" overburden teachers?"....editorial

7. Yeah, I'm one of

those teachers. Only I deal with the teenagers that think they are invincible. I think it will be nearly impossible to keep the highschool kids in masks &socially distant. Luckily, our first 9 weeks will be done remotely, then the Governor and the system will reevaluate if it's feasible to open schools....I don't see that happening. In the mean time we are trying to learn a new learning platform,improving our teaching while being in the barn or basement or dining room, wherever teachers go to do remote classroom learning. I went to our barn to use the chalk board(4x6) which I put up probably 25-26 years ago for our three kids to write and draw on. Never took it down and now it's coming in handy. Shot 2 wevideos in the past two weeks, a self introduction as their teacher and a quick outline for what we will cover in American History 2 for the fall semester. Two of the barn cats decided to stroll by during filming. Luckily it was during my self introduction and not the course outline....Remote learning sucks, at least I have a chalkboard and I'm not in a basement...
