DL is a wet dream for bad teachers, as literally nothing will happen to them no matter what.  They'll get away with murder and still get paid.  Even if confronted (which won't happen), they can just blame it on a bad internet connection, unruly kids, how their dog ate their lesson plan, etc etc.  Look at home many corners were already cut this spring.[/quote]

This is true. But most teachers aren’t bad teachers. And even a very good teacher can struggle under such different circumstances from which anyone was trained to operate. The teachers I feel worst for are the first years who will be under huge scrutiny anyway due to the evaluation process. It can be difficult to diss out what is you, what is a dysfunctional system, and what is from an unprecedented state of emergency. Many years ago, I was new to a dysfunctional county agency when the meth epidemic started in that state. The only clue the problem wasn’t me was the extremely high rate of turnover among newcomers with a lot of prior experience elsewhere. Still, I felt overwhelmed and demoralized.[/quote]
