It is very sad. My children reported a normal amount of schoolwork yesterday, and as they had to share a laptop (being at their father's) it took them most of the day to complete it. When they are at mine I can give them a device each and we generally finish the bulk of our work in time for a long lunchtime walk and a minimum of afternoon fiddling.

There was quite a lot of debate about snow days during remote learning on educational Twitter a few weeks ago, and most of the primary Heads were in favour of snow days being for snow - but I think that is a reflection of the kind of primary Heads I follow as congenial souls.
