Let the fun begin: Online learning!
So although the kids technically did online learning in the spring, it was fairly laid back. Alice had a live meeting for about 30 minutes once a week, whereas Simon had live meetings with his teacher every morning for about 25 minutes. Then they had some independent work to complete.
Well, Wake County got the idea to be more serious this fall, so there are way more live meetings. Also, they had the brilliant idea to make the first two weeks orientation: week 1 as grade level and week 2 at the classroom level. What this means in reality is that for the first week, the kids were in google meets with about 80 other kids and several teachers and it was complete insanity. Simon was bored out of his mind because he couldn't even tell what what going on, and Alice kept getting frustrated because she couldn't get things to work properly. It was awful.
Here are pictures from the first day of "school."
