NEW YORK - Her students are used to seeing her in the classrooms of Adrien Block Intermediate School 25 in New York City’s Flushing neighborhood, but on Monday morning “Miss Brooke” appeared instead on their laptop and phone screens, sitting in her suburban kitchen.
“I’m hoping to make this process as easy as possible and I don’t want to put any extra stress on the families,” she said in the video she had uploaded to a private YouTube channel. “So, just with this week, hang in there, work on figuring out the technology.” Parents spoke of trying to find a quiet corner in cramped apartments for their children to crack on with assignments.
Since then, teachers have been busy revising their lesson plans and sharing tips with stressed parents on how they make children focus on their work.
