I haven’t seen a student, in person, since March 6 of last school year. I’m on zoom, each day of the week, and talk to black name boxes. Bottom line - I miss students. Like many educators, the demands of distance learning coupled with the isolation from colleagues has been challenging – one might even say - joyless.
