My name is Mojo Rose, and I am an elementary school teacher who draws comics about what life is like in the classroom. Lately, I’ve been drawing comics about what it’s like OUT of the classroom (thanks, Covid…).
When the pandemic first hit the United States and they closed down schools, they said we only needed to hunker down and quarantine for 2 weeks. I thought I was a realist and didn’t really believe them. A month of school closures sounded more likely. 11 months later, and it turned out I was actually an optimist.
As we approach the one year mark of the pandemic and online learning, I wanted to share these comics about what teaching during Covid-19 is really like. From the magic of the “mute all” button to the horrors of brown sink water, take a look at life in a school from the people who are trying their best to run the show as normally as they can (or at least not add more trauma to the children).
When you are done, read more of my comics in my previous post here.

I hate it when people use the excuse "its america i can do whatever i want" because truth is there are basic societal rules. Plus, i don't think most people who use that understand the depth of what our ancestors fought for during the american revolution, and how many noble and true people died for us.

"People say my body my choice" so if that's true I don't have to wear a mask and sit where I want.

Your daily reminder that the country that ranks number one in the Global Human Freedom Index for 2020 is New Zealand. We’re still riddled with assholes and everything Cindy says about not lashing out at people goes in one ear and out the other, but the irony does make me laugh every time I see references to people who make that “freedom” argument.

I don't like it when I have free time because I will feel like I haven't done enough But I'll also be sad if I don't have free time.

Been doing English lessons via internet for years and can really relate to "On the clock nonstop." The times students (and parents) phone with silly questions, often ones they have asked multiple times before, are rediculous.

Teachers teach so you can have the education you need to be the next leaders. So many kids don't get the opportunity and would switch places of they could. Don't take your education for granted. While much can be forgotten, there is a lot of important information out there.

I have a story about virtual learning! So I was in my math class, listening to my teacher. My cat jumps onto the couch and rubs his face on my surface. He does it so hard, the surface closes, which causes me to leave the meeting. My teacher thought that it was hilarious when I explained why I suddenly left the meeting.

These made me so sad. Thank you so much to the teachers that have been forced to be so hardworking and adaptable and selfless this year so students like me can still learn. I understand how difficult it is, but COVID won't last forever. Much love and gratitiude

Maybe it will get rid of the dreaded group projects and kids sitting in pods like little board members. Learning just isn't a team sport.

Group projects teach how you will interact in the real world. Many jobs require interactions with others.
