I tell you what - there better not be any ‘teacher planning days’ for the rest of this year. Teachers have had plenty of time to plan.

At the parochial elementary school my wife teaches at / for, all of next week is workshops for teachers at the school plus “regular day” online instruction (from anywhere appropriate, but my wife will be using her classroom a lot).

Typical days the last few weeks have been a bit longer than normal, but with more flexible scheduling. No 25+ minute commute in (and back home) is a plus.

My wife / the school has been doing a lot of stuff with an app named “Zoom” so some instruction is “live”. Wifey says she needs a document camera - no indication the school will pay for it. Am trying to find out if a “gooseneck” mount for her smart phone might do the trick. It sure would be cheaper! Anybody have experience with a good inexpensive one?

My daughter goes to the same school system (middle school) & says she’s doing more hours of actual schoolwork now, not less, and I believe it. Again, much of the scheduling is more flexible. And she doesn’t have to get up @ 6 a.m. to get ready for the drive in. :-)

How typical this all is, I cannot say.
