My kids' classes/teachers seem organized, but the school itself seems to be operating at the last minute.

Both of my kids' teachers are very sweet & I can see the effort they're putting in to make this work. But...my son's teacher was doing a lesson on feelings & asked them to name & describe a feeling & my son unmuted & said "Bored. It's basically how I'm feeling in this class." Not my proudest mom moment....... There is now a sign in his workspace with big bold letters reading: Pleasant. Polite. Positive.
LOL! That is too funny! But I'm sure it's true of many kids! My oldest college student jumped right into a lesson, no review or anything. I told her you had 5 months off, there's no time for review! It's just start learning now!

Praying your son can find parts of his classes that are entertaining and educational and that he isn't "bored" any longer! I didn't realize you were in Alaska! That's so cool! That is one of my achievable bucket list places! I have a friend from college who lives in Glennallen (not that I know where that is, but I feel "connected" to Alaska having a friend there!)
