My school is (as I mentioned before) independent study already so the transition to distance learning wasn't that severe. We are able to Zoom with...
Honestly, I never really cared about the whole "let's have the kids come up with the rules so they have buy-in". I mean in the end it's going to...
We went back to school this Wednesday with students starting (remote learning). I have to say that it has been the biggest chaos and confusion...
