Kiddo has reported numerous shenanigans as everyone gets used to distance learning at the high school this week. These include (but are not limited to):
--Tech-challenged English teacher couldn't figure out how to schedule a Zoom meeting that would allow all students to access audio; then rescheduled a corrected meeting that no one saw because they were all frantically trying to finish the assignment they got from the no-audio meeting.
--Kid has never used webcam, and just now realized that some internal setting is messed up.
--PE Zoom meeting was cancelled 5 minutes in, to never be repeated, because some sophomore had set his icon to "something inappropriate". Teacher banned class from Zoom. Fortunately, their workouts are all logged in a phone app, and have been all year.
--Kid learning to manage bedtime after mistakes were made. Ooof 4:30am.
--Two amazing, functional Zoom meetings! Econ and Art.
--Math homework completed after useful video posted by teacher.
Distance learning end date moved from April 3 to May 1. I expect it to move out again...
