With students in school at full capacity, less clamoring about zoom links and wifi problems eliminated, the COVID landscape of school is, thankfully, seeming to slowly fade away. But the new 100% capacity scheduling has some negative consequences, one of the worst being the way the school has scheduled our new 100% capacity Wednesday lessons.
Just as the virtual-Wednesdays were scheduled as half days, so too will the in-person Wednesday school days be shortened, but instead of ending at 12:00 p.m. with a Connections class at 11:40 a.m., the school day ends at 11:00 am, and drops the Connections class.
Returning to school on Wednesdays was something we have been deprived of for more than a year. I was excited to be able to go back and finally feel a sense of normalcy.
