I’m a retired city school teacher with many friends who still are teaching. Yes, they hate “remote learning”. On average, only 1/3 of the kids even log in. And for those that do, there’s often all sorts of background noise. TV sets blaring, etc.
In one instance, a parent was in the background getting drunk as the kid was trying to learn.
This is in an urban school district. Things could well be different in the peaceful suburbs.
A friend told me over the weekend that he sat in on one of his son’s “remote learning” days during the glorified flu lockdown. He sat through three hours of absolute nonsense and then reached over and shut off his son’s computer. His kid freaked out and said he’d get a worse grade because they are graded on being logged on. My friend told him that it didn’t matter because they were going to start homeschooling the next day.
