The number of apps/utility tools we’re using is ridiculous. I probably spend an hour of my day just reading Basecamp 2, Basecamp 3, Wrike, Microsoft Teams, and slack notifications

Right now I’m salty AF towards all these apps, and I’m sure Wrike is useful for some projects, but we’re only using it because our account people literally can’t say no to our client and adopt anything and everything to “make it easier on them” while completely fucking us. I honestly just check all of them in rotation once every 90 min otherwise I’d waste more than an hour a day trying to FIND MY WORK

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
