How is "school at home" going? Kids? Teachers?

Also, I think the kids are being *really cautious.* All of my daughter's peer group is taking this very seriously. They want to go back to school in person, and they know this is what it will take. I have not seen that same behavior from the college kids I interact with and teach.

Our granddaughter was very cautious in the beginning when she was at home with her high risk parents. She told me that, though she was missing half of her senior year and all that entails, she wanted to do her part. Now that she is on campus at Clemson University (which is said to have the highest count, perhaps the country) it seems that peer pressure has taken over. I see photos of her on her own and other campuses attending ball games, staying in her friends dorms and apartments and hanging all over various friends while being photographed. No masks. She says most of her 4 roommates and two childhood friends have had COVID but she has not. It's as if she wants to get it over with. She knows she can't come home right now yet the university has ordered students to go and stay home after Thanksgiving. Not sure what she or her parents will do.

Students needs to learn self discipline. IMHO.

They do. They are on campus, in the dorms, apartments, or homes in the area. Yet few get dressed, walk or drive the blocks or miles to go to a classroom on the day that they are assigned to be there. And the officials and professors don't seem to be enforcing it. This college's COVID numbers however are low. There are 9 active cases. Whatever... seems to be working for them which is why I suspect they are not enforcing the in class attendance. They also have very strict rules in place that are enforced on social distancing and mask wearing, parties and very few events are being held in person.

I wonder why that doesn't surprise me. :rolleyes:

Given my age and own experiences as a student and teacher, what does surprise me is seeing a college student lying in bed in her pj's under the covers "attending class." I'm surprised by the number of students who won't turn on their video setting to be seen in class but attend behind a black box with their name on it. The teacher complained yesterday that she was talking to an empty classroom when ten should have been in there and also looking at a computer screen with only three of eighteen students having their video on in order to be seen. When she did a few more turned on the setting and were seen but not the majority. I personally find it very disrespectful.

The Principal at our private Catholic school was critical of the public schools and teachers unions. She said the teachers at our school are asking why they have to teach in person when the teachers at the public schools are working from home in their pajamas for a few hours a day. The Principal said it’s because they love their students and teaching is a ministry for them.

Gotta love generalizations....
As an educator who has spent my entire career in the public schools- district, charter, and separate facilities for S.E.D. students- I can tell you that the majority of public school teachers love their students too, and while teaching may not be a "ministry" for them, it is a passion!
