How would you feel if your school district did nothing- like mine? I’m furious as a tax payer. And it’s not the teachers fault- it’s the districts. 
 

Praise to all the teachers who are finding a way to do their thing. you all are some creative and resilient mammals! 

@krc1995 yeah, that’s no good!

Im definitely glad we’re doing something.  I’m giving kids 2 options for assignments: a computer based one they can do on the couch or a more active one like measuring rooms in there homes or taking inventory of light bulbs.

I don’t want to give too much, but we’re also not done with school.  My only “issue” is our districts “requirement” to use Zoom to meet for class. I normally “lectured” my classes for about 5 minutes (maybe a half hour per week), now I’m holding them captive for an hour a week.  I’m making it work, but a learning curve for sure!

My kid's school is using google classroom, which hasn't had any issues that I'm aware of but I hear a lot of complaints about zoom from other parents. His 3rd grade teacher gives assignments for the whole week on Monday morning and then meets for 30-60 every M-W-F. My son really likes it because he can get the work done early in the week and basically have a long weekend.

Since he's getting things done so early in the week, I've been making him watch an educational video with me every day that he gets to pick (he usually picks science or nature).
