No more pencils! No more books! No more teachers... Oh, wait. I'm the teacher. Is school out for me, too. Sort of. Although I will be spending my summer student-free this year, that doesn't mean my future students are far from my mind.

This past summer, I taught summer session at my school. In person. I hadn't taught students in-person since early March 2020.

However, an unexpected side-effect from teaching in person… Continue reading Strange Side-effects
