Forgot to post yesterday. I had 37% of my students out. Some who were home sick with regular colds returned. A few new students were missing.<br />
<br />
I have one algebra student who has been struggling all year who is staying home. I am posting our daily work in our OneNote Class Notebooks so students can keep up. We has an email exchange last night about how lost he is. He has the work, but without teaching, doesn't know how to do it. I gave him some links to khan academy, but I need a better way to work with these struggling students.<br />
<br />
Our district is having meetings at every school today to put plans in place for what to do if we do have to close. We are a one to one school (all students have laptops). We will continue to do the best we can to meet our students' needs.<br />
<br />
Still 0 cases in the district. </div>

Why haven't the Seattle and Bellevue school districts shut down or gone to remote learning?<br />
<br />
These answers posted to the r/seattle sub on reddit sum it up pretty nicely:<br />
<br />

Unless Governor Inslee releases the districts from their obligations to provide equitable education for all students, we can't go to online or distance learning. So many families depend on the schools. What will happen if we close? It would have to be a true emergency. As of today, Bellevue schools have 0 cases. I know we are worried. But we need to be there for our students and their families.<br />
<br />
My classes are getting very small, though. And wow, it's a joy to teach such small classes. I pay for it each evening though when I have to answer 40 emails from students and parents.<br />

Today I had 43% of my students missing. I am teaching a weird hybrid of in class and online learning. The at home students are emailing me asking how to do the work since they missed class. I need to either find time to record some videos or find Khan academy lectures to link to. I am doing the best that I can to keep teaching.</div>

This week my class attendance went from 10% absent on Monday to 40% on Friday. As far as I know, none are sick, and our district has 0 cases. What is the tipping point for closing school and going remote?</div>

This morning, Starbucks wouldn't fill my personal mug. They gave me the personal mug discount, but my coffee in a Togo cup with a lid. The cup is recyclable but the lid is not.<br />
