As Wednesdays are still fully remote at our school, and today is a Wednesday, I’m worn out. The screen wears on me like nothing else. It wears on the kids today. Today, my 7th graders and I were reminiscing about the advent of zoom and how exciting and new it all was last March. We were intrepid travelers across the digital divide. But the allure is fraying, and we’re all grateful that we’ll be meeting more regularly in person.
We played a game of Best-Worst in the chat box (on zoom, of course), and I’m pretty sure no one was wearing pants, if their Bests were to be believed. There was quite a varied collection of Worsts, however, so I challenged them to make some comparisons to show the rest of us how they feel.
Here’s what my class, facing a day of five back-to-back zoom classes, had to say about it all this morning…
Zoom class is like ….
Sigh.
I know the end is in sight.

Zoom class is like ….
- going to the dentist.
- going to soccer practice. You never know who’s going to show up.
- watching paint dry.
- working all night and all day; it never stops.
- opening a pack of Pokemon cards; you never know what you’re going to get out of it.
- cleaning a new cup - pointless.
- getting a puppy - fun at first, but then it gets old.
- getting stuck behind a car with old people in it.
- cleaning my room: long, not fun, hard to focus, easy to procrastinate, and it’s never clean at the end.
Sigh.
I know the end is in sight.
