Here’s one of my final “Best” of 2020 posts….
The first post is my most popular one, and it goes from there.
I’m adding this post to ALL END-OF-YEAR “BEST” LISTS FOR 2020 IN ONE PLACE!:
I get frustrated when I see school boards who continue to meet in Zoom vote to open schools, journalists who continue to work from home demand that schools open & college professors who continue to teach remotely complain about K-12 schools being closed.

A student wrote this in an anonymous survey: "Mr. Ferlazzo is a wonderful teacher. Although he looks old, he acts and seems young when you get to know him."

It's been a rough 5 weeks of full-time virtual learning, but I now can say I think students r learning a lot. Clearly physical f-2-f would be better, but our online classes r nothing to sneeze at. Still, big ? is if amount of required planning time to make it work is sustainable

Because I'm bald,I generally wear a fedora 2 school. Today, in middle of our online ELL class, spooky music started blaring, & a bunch of students (most who know me from previous years) turned on cameras to reveal themselves as costumed ghosts wearing fedoras. The kids r alright

I say hello & wave 2 every student in every class when I let them into Zoom. 2day,I was momentarily distracted by email as I was letting 1 class in. 1 student yelled out, "U didn't say hello 2 me, Mr. Ferlazzo!" Everyone wants to be acknowledged & they notice when they're not.

I made a grading error and sent an apology to a student via Google Classroom. She immediately replied, "That's okay. I make mistakes, too." 🙂

I think it's bad practice in general to fail a student who is trying in class, and I write that I think it's now immoral to give that student an F during the pandemic https://t.co/qYX1ebQTND

I'm sorry, Doug, I have to strongly disagree with you here. There are SO many other ways to engage w/students. Plus, if I required cameras on, nearly 1/2 of my students would be inaudible because of bandwidth issues.

Biden goes on record not wanting teachers to die from the coronavirus. Sounds good to me.
