Heart of the City by Steenz for April 09, 2020

Hey, less people to deal with, better home cooked meals, using your computer. What’s the problem???

Wimp. (Been working at home since 2008)

Teaching from home in my jammies most days is a perk, but it’s no picnic from your teachers’ side, either, Heart.

My company invested in an online course put together through a formula from an ancient text by people with no understanding of the material. In the audio, a number of words were horribly mis-pronounced. The review questions occasionally had wrong answers.

This was material that I had studied decades before and used all through my career and I had trouble getting through any session, it was just so awful. But the company had decided that your pay scale was to be determined by which boxes were checked.

It’s not picnic for the teachers, either, Kiddo.

worse because there’s no one to cheat off of. that means the students WILL have to study to pass quizzes/tests.

Now, most of the parents agreed on the fact that teachers ain’t lying about their kids.

Tell me about it. The girls are home in the Comox Valley from university in England and they are keeping English/UTC hours, so they are 8 – 9 hours ahead in order to Skype with classmates and get their lectures in real time. Thank dog for blackout curtains, ear plugs, and a large house.

I think Mom is letting the shoes on the bed slide.

Sometimes online classes are more difficult as they require you to teach yourself. You may learn more, but you’ll certainly have to dig for it in most cases.

I’d have KILLED for online middle school. Imagine not having to get all those mental scars.

At least you’re on your bed.
