Good news. Over night the State reversed its trend to not allow on line teaching, grading and such for fear that a few would be left out. At 9:00 PM they finally released their final directives, and said that every effort should be made to reach and teach, grade, and even take attendance. Plans should be in place and rolling within the next two weeks. I'm very glad for this. Partly because I'm a parent of two high school kids, partly because I'm a teacher who actually wants to teach important things, and partly because I hated the idea of dumbing it all down just because we were afraid of missing a few. Also, whatever I share, make, teach is now for a reason. I was being told to dig up daily stuff for my students to do on their own, without the expectation of grading or even discussing the stuff.... So, good on Oregon for taking the right steps here.
