[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. Normal teaching is mentally and physically draining. Online teacher is not physically draining but much more mentally draining. The frustrating part of it is that I am now dealing with parents nearly 100% of the time. Kindergarteners cannot get online by themselves very well. They can’t do much independent work. So I have to attempt to contact parents all of the time and it’s not easy. There is a language barrier and a cultural barrier. I’m not looking forward to doing this again. [/quote]

OP here.  This is exactly what I am talking about.  It will be extremely mentally draining for teachers especially those who are teaching the younger grades who require a lot of parent assistance.  I think that in classroom teaching is exhausting as well, but you are mainly dealing with students for the majority of the day.  This type of teaching means dealing with parents in addition to the children.  I have a feeling that there will be quite a few teachers who will resign or take LOA if we are going to do this for the entire school year.  It just isn't sustainable.[/quote]
