Students had until 12 noon today to let us know that they wanted to revert to Credit/NoCredit from a letter grade if they had previously asked for a letter grade, so at 12:01 I logged in and submitted my grades. I went through the online checkout process--can we do it online from now on???--and now I'm on summer break!
The only issue now is that any time I waste is my own. I have somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks before school starts, although I do have a little training to undergo over the summer so that I can be a mentor teacher (not that I haven't already been one 4 times). I'm sure I'll find some time to complete that training between my traveling, lounging, eating, and TV watching.
Apropos of my last comment, I just signed up for the CuriosityStream app for $20/year. I've already watched 3 shows about the Normans, a show about 3-D mapping of Venice, and one about a new excavation at Pompeii. And that's within 24 hours!
We're not only forced into credit/no credit, we're forced to give credit to any kid who was passing at shutdown, even if they utterly disappeared after shutdown In our school, that's more than a semester.
ReplyDeleteNow there's talk that we'll be opening in hybrid mode *at best* next year. I'm so disgusted.
{deadpan voice} I can't imagine why.
