I’m Worried About My Students
The Twitterverse
Christopher Vilag @StrongComputers·
I did an experiment today in Advisory. I logged in and didn’t turn on my mic or camera but only typed in the chat. I wanted to see how my students reacted. It was really interesting. Some students said it felt like they didn’t have a teacher and actually really distraught . . . . I had to explain to them that that was the feeling that some of their teachers have when they don’t hear or see from their students. It really put it into perspective for some of them. I hope they’re willing to at least give a smile to their teacher today.

You know what motivates me, as a teacher? Hearing districts say things like, “We know students aren’t really learning under distance learning.” You know what? I’m breaking my tail and you’re telling parents it’s not working? Gee thanks.
