To wonder why schools are saying they’re not allowed to do live lessons

[Plinkplonkplank]

Because they’ve just started doing them at my ds’s state secondary. We had to fill in an online permission form. So it is possible after all.

And that's great for her, but lots of my students have 1 laptop or tablet to share. Or are using phones which are fine for chats but not to view slide shared PowerPoints. A few of mine are farmers. They often access them in the evenings.

So they can join the q&a on their phone but access the lessons when it works for their family.

Yes, I give the usual caveat that I KNOW LIVE LESSONS DON'T WORK FOR EVERYONE but they do for me and dd.

I can get on with work and she can get on with school.

@ITonyah Live lessons work fine for us, too.
Caveat: we are very lucky, I know.
In our school survey parents requested live lessons and keeping to the school timetable 8.45am to 4.00pm. Different demographics.
