[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS Teacher. The fact that your student came back in person or not is irrelevant.

I have students in both groups for whom I would write glowing recs, and others who should know better than to ask me for a rec (I wouldn't agree to give them one). A few of the in-person ones are worse off in some respects, because the apathy and disinterest they show in person would have been better hidden behind a turned-off webcam.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you for sharing your perspective! I feel like the lists above are just not helpful. I really had no energy to keep encouraging my kid to turn on cameras and go to office hours. Our situation during the pandemic has been just horrible and depressing. We’re at the end of our ropes. I feel incredibly fortunate my kid goes to classes and does well enough. I have zero idea if his camera is on or if he goes to office hours. He’s 16. I’m flat out of all energy. Signed, Barely Hanging On to My Job, My Health and My Sanity. [/quote]
