*5 yo on her kindergarten Zoom class*
Teacher: "So what do you do before joining our Zoom class?"

I’d say the hardest part about remote learning is that I can no longer threaten to ground my kids from screens because honestly that was really all I had.

A boy in my son’s online first grade class told the teacher he felt like he was going to puke. The teacher said he should go to the bathroom. He held up a small trashcan. The teacher said, “Oh, well, looks like you’re ready.” And they continued on learning shapes in Spanish.

We're 8 minutes into virtual learning.
There are twins in this class and they aren't allowed to be in the same room because there's too much echo.
They all tried to unmute to say the pledge of allegiance together and this is so far off the rails. Let's call it a day.
