Dear
Diary,
The
school’s email told us that today was day one. I spent some time yesterday
coming up with a worksheet for my Form One students to do in the absence of our
class. We also had a departmental meeting that started at 8:30 and then at
10:30 right after there was a staff meeting also on Zoom. VAPA and Languages were grouped together.
I
did not get the link to the first meeting on time so I took the time to write
up the email for the students. I was not sure exactly what I would say in that first email as a
‘teacher’ but I thought about it a lot and gave it my best. Only later in the evening, I was harshly disappointed with myself
when I did not ask the student to reply with their names and Form class. It would have been the only way to
count attendance. I still have to find out who had working emails. Some were
from parents and not students.
In
the staff meeting, we had a short wait and then a prayer was said. Some events
that occurred cannot be recorded here in the journal. We heard from some of the
teachers present in school that the corridors were not very safe and some of
them were leaking. I had a very weird feeling from one of the school’s five
emails over the days about us having to be present in the staffroom and not
being able to teach. Daddy’s response to it was true in a way.
The meeting concluded at 1:40. At one o’clock, I was having my lunch at the dining table still wondering about everything and listening to the meeting. I fell flat on the couch afterwards. It was a lot to take in.
