Interview

I first became interested in the inside perspective of what students, teachers, and staff were going through because I was substitute teaching while finishing my bachelors. While teaching this year, the students were about to embark on 2 weeks of distance learning because of the rise in cases. I had two girls in my class this day who were on the verge of tears because they thought they wouldn't be returning to school again (like last spring). This got my brain rolling towards an interview that touches on all moments of the shutdowns we've seen thus far, starting in spring 2020, the first months of school, and the current (now passed) two week move to remote learning. I'm happy to report that I am also happy to be back in the classroom, as are the students! GO BISON!
