[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine that doing a 4 x 4 schedule in the fall will prove particularly challenging for the teachers if this is in person. It takes quite a bit of stamina to teach for an hour and 20 minutes. Or will the teacher bail out after an hour with the kids getting used to not doing much of anything?  [/quote].

No decent teacher is actually lecturing for 80 minutes straight ( pre-college at least). You would have a room of teenagers with their heads on their desks getting an imprint of their spiral notebooks on them...asleep! There is time for independent or group work while teacher circulates or works with smaller groups. It’s not hard to do that, stamina-wise.

My Wilson student just got off an 80 minute DL Teams lecture.  Yikes.[/quote]

This is PP and in defense of that teacher, who may be excellent, it’s bit different in a DL format. Sometimes you do keep the lecture going that long when you’re DL I suppose! Shouldn’t have been so quick to criticize.[/quote]

80 minutes of class every class is....a long class.  Every single class.  I’ll leave it at that.[/quote]
