"When young students cannot pay attention to a videoconference, they are not misbehaving; they are responding to the limitations of an electronic medium....The plan cannot just be to keep telling them to stay in...their seat": https://t.co/G5Da2gh4rf

Just for perspective, 6’ of distancing between 25 kids in a line in the hallway is approximately 50 yards. That’s half a football field. I repeat, HALF A FOOTBALL FIELD.
It’s good to be teaching your students the curriculum, critical thinking, and creative problem solving. But don’t forget to teach your students to have a good handshake, to look people in the eye, and to be considerate of others. In the long run, those things might matter more.
