You are insisting on missing the point.  Why aren't you pulling up your Nearpods or Kami documents from last year and using them this year?  You don't need them recorded.  But you can easily use those and make modifications based on your experiences last year with what worked and what did not work.

To my knowledge no public school system in the DMV has the expectation that teachers will be distributing, collecting and grading paper documents.  You need to use the electronic documents that you used last year.

At this point I believe that you are either being deliberately obstructive to making this year work or deliberately obtuse in how to make this year work.  Either way I am done with your nonsense.  Good luck to your students because it sounds like they're going to need every bit of luck they can get with you as their teacher.[/quote]

I feel like you are the one missing the point.  Your Nearpod/Kami suggestion solves a problem I do not have.

The problem is that students who are quarantined and excluded from school for possibly multiple 10 day periods will be missing their direct instruction if we don't give them a way to participate in virtual learning, which right now my school district is not allowing.

My concern is that instructionally, this fall is going to be a mess.  And after last year, I'm just not up for it any longer.  I want to just bow out and let someone else take my job, and I'm this close to doing it.  My mother is elderly and needs someone to help her out more often and my husband is already retired.  We have health care taken care of already and the house is paid off.  I was trying to stick around a few more years for full retirement but man... I'm ready to quit now.[/quote]
