@futurebird We recently had a one hour remote session (snow day) which my child was very excited to participate in. They used it as a means of being in charge -- selecting which device to use, where in the house to set-up, and practiced the remote-in process. This session was an hour. While I had no remote learning as a kid, I can understand and support these short "check-ins". For mine the routine matters. I can also understand that it may challenge some families, or teachers, esp. if all-day.

@futurebird At their age they have no control over when, how, or where they go to school -- and it is expected that they go. A very short session where they have control, meet expectation, can see their peers, and spend the rest of the day in play at homr seems like a positive. That was our experience, anyway. All criticism thus far voiced is absolutely valid. I expect our experience is the exception.

@futurebird

Absolutely.

And to that end, everyone should get to mail it in, adults too.

Bc work is fucking stupid everyday.

God did not put me on this Earth to work. I was born into this world for THREE things: to count ants, make puns, and spout nonsense.
