Where in Mississippi?
I'm in Madison.
Zoom calls, online Canvas work, MacBook checkout if needed.
Our household has been really smooth. I imagine some are having trouble with it.
My senior is still upset about missing prom, maybe missing graduation, etc. But my fifth grader wants to do online school forever.

Hasn't kicked in yet for us, so we started a plan to get the kids started today. Went over it with them last night.
Everything went fine with the youngest, but l had to light into my oldest for having an attitude.
Now I know why my 7th grade drunk English teacher always had such a short fuse in 5th period.

Mine start tomorrow. Last week was spring break so they were out anyway.
It is small private school in Las Colinas and they don't have near the budget public schools do so this is great.

yeah I am kinda pissed about the way our private school is handling it. They are sending assignments, but acting like they cant require anything because maybe every student doesn't have a computer. its a fricking private school where everyone is well off, everyone has a computer or could afford to pay a few hundred for one.

My daughter m, here in La, is in private school. They had their first Zoom class today.
I as a teacher in public school was told not to contact my students at all. We will not be doing any assignments or work, because some kids don’t have access.

I can’t get mine out of the turkey woods or out of the bass boat long enough to get anything done. He may fail this year but we won’t starve.

I live in a very rural area in eastern Washington State. Our school district here was going to do online classes until they found out half the households here do not have broadband or any internet at all. We don't even have cell service in half our county (Ferry). I'm sure most of rural USA could be in the same boat with poor internet.

Depends what district but up here the bigger districts did it in a day Districts like mine Title 1 population can not afford the computers or broadband to allow.

Absolutely not. Education is just more than the learning of facts, forming of ideas. You have to encourage social growth and learning as well. That is why I despise when parents who want to home school. I support home school for several of my students, with hour to 4 hours in school because of ADHD, ODD, etc though.

Just the opposite in my hometown in NE Mississippi. They are all doing the e-classes with their teachers and Zooming whatever that is today.

That’s awesome.
In Alabama we were told we can’t do online education because the poor people can’t.

Any idea what they are doing in poor districts where kids don't have access to computers at home? I don't know what we are going to do with my charter school in Memphis, most don't have access to computers at home
Many schools are doing nothing. In the poorest, I have seen them offer items online, but to little avail and no accountability. Here in Oxford, where I teach, we started Zoom classes today. I had 95 students in my first Zoom class out of the 140 I teach. Everything is posted in Schoology online, the audio of the recording is available, and a detailed itinerary is provided. We are 1-1 in technology from 7-12th grade. We issued out 5-6th Mac books to any student who needed one last week. We are also positioning six locations where any child under 18 can get breakfast or lunch on school days. Truly above and beyond.
The world in places like Oxford, DeSoto County, and Madison County are far different than the Delta and other poor areas.

I’ve heard some districts are loading up school busses with breakfast and lunch then driving around to their usual stops in the morning. That is the most efficient way to distribute food because the drivers would already be doing that route so it’s budgeted and the kids don’t have to figure out a way to get to the school for the food.
