CV19 was the best thing that happened to me as far as teaching. I liked it. Some of the kids liked it. We need a better system of showing attendance.

Kids could click something-but it does not prove they actually looked at anything I put together. If we have to do this in fall, there needs to be changes. We are hearing that many kids liked the idea and did well. Mostly because they do not have to put up with others crap. I told a few I would be willing to do online classes instead of going back to the classroom.

As of now, I have to be in the same building as before. I am still looking at other options. I am really glad I was not in school for the last race based thing. Some of the issues is that I am white, 50, expect discipline and order. So therefore I am a bad person with some black students. I cant change what I look like-they cant either. But if the goal is education-it works. If the goal is social time-it won't. Fall is a big question like it is for most places.

When CV19 hit, I had already been out for 3-4 weeks. I was relaxed but my mind was still in the school crap. Distance learning helped me be a teacher without stress. I always enjoy summer. I work a little and get jobs done around the house. I have done a lot in the last few days. Wife and I hope to get away sometime.

District hopes to have a plan by July 15.
