[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see sooo many teachers commenting in various places that they’re worried about getting the virus so don’t think schools should resume in person.

Ok fine. If that happens? How many math teachers does a school really need? One per grade to put together the content. The online programs like Khan Academy do everything else including teaching and grading. This goes for the programs that my kids’ science and Spanish teachers are using as well.

If school continues online for the next however many years, won’t there be a massive lay off of teachers? Why are they not more worried about their jobs?[/quote]

Nope. Not worried. These online platforms might have good explanations of how to do a problem or a good lecture. However, they don't give feedback on writing or process. They don't guide students through a project or higher order thinking skills.

It takes me a lot longer now to give feedback. Instead of just leaning over their shoulder and pointing things out, I actually have to type up a response or get them on the video chat to explain.
