For my school, it depends on what grade you are in. So for example, the younger years (year 7-9) are being sent worksheets and activities via email and OneNote. But for the senior years (year 10-12), teachers are arranging at least 2-3 Zoom sessions a week per subject as my school is one of those schools that believe in strong academic performance through rain, hail, shine and of course, a pandemic. How are you finding online school K.Smithy?
Oh thats interesting. My school has told students in the younger years to only do English and Mathematics over the next few weeks. So rather than them worrying about 8 subjects, they are less stressed. Grade 10s at my school are focusing on English, Maths and Science, whereas 11s and 12s work on all of their subjects (would be sucky if we were told only to do English and maths
).
You are very fortunate to have zoom meetings. I spent a lot of time this morning checking up on friends and seeing how they are coping with it all (even though its the first day) - but i found we are all just as stuck as each other. Some of my teachers are just amazing and have made very comprehensive guides regarding what content we should cover each week so we kind of have a structure to follow. Most of my teachers have given us so so so many resources, which I am so grateful for. My maths class however, have blank OneNote pages or some pages with one link to a 6 minute long youtube video... So that is quite sucky. But all in all today went quite well. As much as I would love to have zoom meetings or something of the like, the one good thing about not having meetings is that what I do with all of my time is completely up to me. I have decided that on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I will study Methods, Bio, Psych and Physics (for an hour an a half each - adds up to 6 hours), and on Tuesday and Thursdays I will work on English and Religion (again, for an hour and a half each - adds up to 3 hours.) I will also dedicate my afternoons on Tuesday and Thursdays, as well as my weekends, to finalising my unit 3 notes.
How did you go today with everything not working? Or was your school fine? Literally no one at my school to access emails, onenote, teams, the school portal, etc. So it was a lot of guess work and textbook reading for us today
