Middle school math, special ed. They were working on order of operations.
I recognized Seth as soon as I heard his voice. That he's in special ed did not surprise me one bit. He immediately spoke up with a question.
"Are you on your phone again today?"
Uh. . .
Okay, so full disclosure, I am on my phone way more than I really should be. But there comes a point after I've gone over the assignment for the day, I've released the kiddos to get to work, and I'm staring at a screen full of unblinking avatars.
I thought I hid it better than that. . .
But another student replied to Seth. "No, that was a different sub. . ."
At which point I realized what Seth was asking. Apparently their last sub had accessed the class via her phone.
I was accessing the class via computer.
The class got pretty boring after that. The kiddos worked on the assignment. And I. . . pulled out a magazine and read. (They had few questions after we did the first problem together.)
Glad you didn't get caught for being on your phone during class lol!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that kid wanted to get you into trouble even though you did nothing wrong. He's a handful.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure he was just curious as to how I was accessing the meet.
DeleteI had a feeling that might have been the source of his question. You're too clever for the kiddos. ;)
ReplyDeleteHe seems naturally curious.
DeleteI doubt kids that age will think it's weird for anyone to be staring down at a phone anyway.
ReplyDeleteOh my
ReplyDeleteAt least being at home you can easily grab something to do for those classes.
ReplyDeleteWhy am I smiling at this?
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty funny.
Deletelol
ReplyDeleteThat would get boring just staring at avatars. I like accessing long meetings on my phone so I can least walk around the house a little.
ReplyDeleteI've found things to keep me busy. Their classes are only an hour, so that breaks things up a bit.
