I'm sure it's been difficult to adapt etc, but I can't help contrast what I saw and read about in places like Wuhan (where kids more or less had full online teaching during the lockdown) to the fact that both my kids are done with their entire allocated work inside of an hour each day.
Then there's the relentless self congratulatory patting on the back the local head is giving herself and her staff, with the constant emphasis on "children's mental health and wellbeing during a difficult time, we are here to support them".
I just feel like shouting "no, I'm the parent - I'll worry about their mental wellbeing. Can you just teach them some fucking English and Maths please".
Many teachers no doubt working hard etc, but from where I'm sitting my kids are losing out on a ton of education, and from the chatter I hear from the local authority there's been some kind of decision not to move forward with any kind of new teaching, because basically they can't guarantee every child will get it in these conditions. So all are held back. I can scarcely believe that, but it tallies with what I see with my own eyes.
I look around and I see all sorts of essential jobs bending over backwards to continue a normal service in the current climate, and teaching seems utterly hidebound and innovation-less.
