Let's Face It, School Year Is Over

Time to realize that schools just aren't going to be open again this year.  Several states have already cancelled it for the rest of this school year.  It is time for all states to do that.  Let's face it, the school year has been ruined as it is.

I know all this e-Learning is  supposedly taking place, but I don't believe it is anything like actual classroom instruction.

What I would do, if I was still teaching with the kids not in school would be to have them write fifty words a school day on how the "V" is affecting their lives and that would at least take care of their social studies.  After all, this is going to be one of those events in our history as well as the history of the world, that will be (and already is) one of the turning points in history.

Events like Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination and 9/11 are in that realm.  However, these events did not directly happen to everyone like this "V" is.  This "V" may or not be right at your door.

Even if all schools end up being closed for the rest of the school year, parents should have their kids writing about this regardless.  Maybe having 7th to 12th graders writing 200 words a day.
