I know remote learning isn& #39;t easy to plan and teachers have been put in impossible situations trying to transition kids with lesson plans that don& #39;t translate to at-home work. I empathize with them, however: expecting kids to perform at 100% right now is fucking bullshit.
My 4th grader is crying from stress about her workload, juggling multiple poorly organized Google classrooms and a handful of sketchy ad-driven third-party learning platforms plus occasional ad-hoc email assignments.
So while I empathize with the teachers I feel like they should back the fuck off until they& #39;ve learned more about coordinating remote efforts. As someone who& #39;s lead fully remote teams it& #39;s glaringly obvious that the teachers are outmatched.
I& #39;m sorry I won& #39;t sacrifice my kids& #39; emotional and mental wellbeing right now for the sake of keeping up with state educational standards in exceptional times. So frustrated with this situation and the toll it& #39;s taking on kids, their educations, and parents& #39; schedules.
I haven& #39;t seen any news at all about state governors relaxing or even suspending educational requirements right now and genuinely: what the everliving fuck?!
