gollark: To be fair, some people probably weren't managing well, but that's no reason to do this to everyone.
gollark: I was basically fine with the "not much supervision, you get set work" thing, but this is just stupid.
gollark: I mean, I was fine with working remotely. I could get more done, did not have to bother with (as much) busy-work, had a flexible schedule, sort of thing.
gollark: It seems like they just completely disregarded the benefits of asynchronous communication, and decided that they had to make it as much like normal in-person school as possible, even despite the detriment to... actually teaching things.
gollark: I got an email from them (not even to me directly, forwarded from my parents) and:- the removed week of the summer term is being added to the end- they seem to expect to reopen in a month or so?- half the lessons will apparently now involve "human interaction", implying video calls or something, which will be *really annoying*, instead of having them just set work- they're running a timetable?!- I'm expected to be up by 08:45⸘
