History teacher Zach Jensen likes the idea of having three classes rather than the usual six but thinks there are other challenges with the schedule. “I like the fact that we have the afternoons for support time with students and to work on prepping, grading, etc, because it means students and teachers arent required to be in front of a computer from 8-3. However, the fact teachers have had to shorten their year-long course into a semester is another layer of adjustment that has been challenging. Cutting material and adjusting the schedule, in addition to creating digital lessons, has been stressful and something it would have been nice to avoid,” said Jensen.
