10. I'm a teacher and still having to teach

through e-learning and it's a heck of a lot harder for me than being in the classroom face to face with the kids. I have about 80 high school kids in a Title 1 school and a tad bit over 30% of them have been actively engaged with my assignments and postings....And these 30 kids are the best of their classes with support and resources at home. My school issued well above 600 laptops, one per family that did not have a computer at home regardless of how many kids lived at home. Other issue is many of our kids do not have access to internet or the internet has been turned of due to not paying the bill....Our school is in week three of shutdown and we finally got the last shipment of hotspots to give to faculty and kids that don't have internet at home. We have internet but due to our location we cant get cable, satellite internet too expensive and doesn't provide enough bandwidth to be much more than dial-up internet. But we are still teaching and trying to reach our kids and make sure they are ok.
