Why not just send the teacher a quick email?

She has 7. She’s a senior. She can tell them herself. I stopped checking in on her work in MS.

Or the guidance counselor? She might need a little coaching on being considerate to others.

*My* senior

Say senior is doing the exact same thing. She’s just going to log in instead of going in person. I’m not notifying anyone. If they have a problem with it they can email me.

ok, we had a chat and he is going to try it again tomorrow. Hopefully better weather will help.

NP Kudos to him for giving it another go. I hope he'll give it next week, too. Then it's spring break anyway. If there's room in his school, perhaps others can be lured back to hybrid and help improve his experience - assuming what he disliked was the lack of peers?

I think he'll feel better about his decision one way or another if he gives it a solid try. Does he have a block schedule? Tomorrow might be very different. Unfortunately, it will still be wet from the rain.

He's 18. I'm sure he sees pretty well how it will go, and to be honest wearing a mask all day spaced from friends but still staring at screens sounds miserable.

I mean, 90% of adults are super excited to WFH, why wouldn't an 18 year old senior have same enthusiasm? He can meet up with his friends (who may not even be in school or class depending on many pandemic factors) after school, message, grab snacks, and enjoy learning without stuffed into a mask all day.

I would also suggest waiting one more week.

Many schools are starting to address their wait lists during Spring Break, so let the principal and guidance counselor know.

I would suggest emailing the guidance counselor and letting them know. They can likely handle from there.

Doesn't he want to give it a week or two before deciding?

I'd start there - I'm sure they can direct you to the correct person to switch. In middle school, they made it sound very easy to switch to virtual, but very unlikely to switch the other way around.

High school senior did not enjoy his day of virtual, so it's back to the basement I guess. Does he (or I?) just email his guidance counselor, or....?
