re: Principle told my wife to prepare to teach from home next school year

Or we could keep this Principal's pillow talk with your wife off the OT ?

It’s crazy how far behind la schools are from Texas. It’s awesome that kids get school issued laptops that early in their development- I’m assuming that’s a public school in tx. The computers in my wife’s classroom have to be 10+ years old. They can’t even teach the kids how to type on a keyboard bc their isn’t enough computers to have a class on it.

Principal is just setting it up where she can come "observe and evaluate" your wife at home. If you are lucky, they might let you watch.

They had a pick up day for laptops if a student didn't have one. 4th grade on up takes their laptops home already so the pick up day was for second and third grade and any student not at school the Friday we let out. Also on that Friday we had to do a survey on students and internet access. The parish took the survey along with a map of the parish to determine where the hot spots would be best utilized.

I haven't stopped working yet, wake up at 4-5 in the morning get all of my material organized/created, plan for my next day, then create videos, and upload. Usually takes 3 hours to get everything done properly. Once everything is posted and uploaded I sit around and respond to student questions, either by the program we use, zoom, or phone call. I also have Zoom meetings 3x a week right now to discuss what we are doing, students who are not working, etc. I also have to call home to each of my students once a week to make sure they're working and to see if the parents have any questions.

Public schools yes but both my kids were sent home with computers and are doing assignments and taking tests from catholic school. 2nd and 4th grades

teachers are already bad in this country, nothing like making it worse.

What will they whine about now, since they get to teach from home? Their chair isn't comfy enough?

My wife teaches at a elementary public school

These are just a few of the things that make me think you should get some elementary level tutoring in spelling and grammar. If your wife is indeed an elementary teacher, she may be able to help you.

u must have never been to the ‘principle’s office’ before, because I have never seen it misspelled before today (as 99.9% former students know how to spell it from from a visit or two)

This is one of those face space/next door rumor mill stories. What the principal was probably told by the district was that yes, a closure that long is possible, but not likely. Have a plan in place just in case so we’re not caught off guard.

Instead people take the bullshite narrative like today’s media does. Take the tag line and make it seem like the most likely scenario.

For example. Trump goes through drills for procedure in the case of nuclear attack. The media reports, “Trump preparing for nuclear attack.” And the general population goes fricking crazy.

Here's an idea, wait a little while before making any statements about what will happen when. It is irresponsible to feed hysteria without knowing where we'll be in 3, 4 or 5 months.
