Do all of your students have access to the internet at home? I'm worried that if we close for the coronavirus, some of my students will be at a disadvantage.

Many of my students don’t have WiFi or consistent technology access. They also would not be at home worrying about school work if we closed - they need more structure.

No they don’t and the first year we rolled out 1:1 tablets they worked really hard to get hotspots into those homes. But that was 4 years ago and they haven’t had the hotspots since.

I’m in a low income school and all but maybe one or two have internet access and a computer. There is always the public library for kids who don’t have it, though. I don’t know if any community without at least one library, somewhere.

@Michigan-that is also an issue in my district. There are multiple kids who rely on the free breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack.

I’m in a rural area, so a lot of kids don’t have reliable access in the middle of nowhere.

I am in an Urban part of my district and fully 10% of my students have no internet at home (some have no electricity). E-learning is just not an option for all, especially if public schools and libraries close

Nope. I have some that are homeless.

I don't work at a 1:1 distrct. Many students don't have Wi-Fi, or any type of computer/tablet. Many parts of my rural district don't even have cell coverage, so even if they have a computer, they can't hotspot with a smartphone. No way could we do any sort of virtual classroom if we closed.

This! & also our FRL rate is so high, I worry about the kids getting enough to eat.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
