[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big consideration for us (with a HS Senior) is what else would they do for the year. Travel is out. Jobs and internships will likely be quite scarce. I would rather a semester of on-line classes then a semester of nothing.[/quote] Agree. I asked my DD what she would do if she deferred and she held up her gam controller. Uh. Nope. BTW, our high school college counseling department is discouraging deferrals for this reason. They think if classes are online there will be little opportunity for travel, work or gap year programs and the students would be better off doing online classes. FWIW, my husband is an adjunct and teaches an master’s level class for a small university. Even before the pandemic, they were half online and half in person. He has had no issues teaching online. If the professors are prepared and know how to do it, it can be effective. I think the issue this semester is that the professors had to learn midstream. [/quote]
