In-person learners will switch to asynchronous learning for the day and log onto their Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), to retrieve assignments, etc.

They “clock out” …
… and then plan lessons
… and grade papers
… and worry about their
strugglers.
Teachers deserve our respect and appreciation.
