Journal #18: Goodbye

The final Journal question of 2019-2020 is not a question at all.  It's a goodbye, or a see you (I hope) in September.  No need to post a comment, but if you want to say goodbye here, that's fine with me. 

A couple of shout-outs: first, to Yuna and Becky, who attended every Google Meet in Quarter 4 - except for a  couple of travel-related absences.  Thanks, you guys, for being there!  It meant a lot to me.

Second, Sara and Chaewon made it to nearly every GM in Quarter 4. A heartfelt thanks to you two for making the effort.

Third, Mateo, JustinOscar, and Nikki, you all came to most of the classes.  Again, I really appreciate it!

Good luck to everybody in all my classes - here's hoping the world gets back to something like normal soon.  Until then, stay healthy and, of course, don't forget your English!

Journal Question #17

This is FA 215, the ELL classroom, empty: I took this photo on Monday morning, May 4th.  Because of Covid-19, there are no students here.  Instead, TA - along with almost every school in the United States - is having "remote learning" for the rest of the year.  Here's the question: how has remote learning gone for you?  What grade would you give it?  How would you feel if school was remote at the start of next school year?
