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

If there is a school rule that the camera has to be on... that's a horrible rule. It totally invades a kids privacy. There are all sorts of reasons for them not to be comfortable with other kids seeing the inside of their house. -- although I guess most "zoom" type programs allow you to blur the background or put in fake ones.

This reminds me that one of my gay friends had a poster hanging up when he was in quarantine on Zoom. I don’t remember exactly what the poster said but it had p***y on it and he got suspended. Personally, I think that it’s his room, and his parents allow him to have it and it’s his business. FYI it wasn’t even a teacher who noticed it, a student’s PARENT told the VICE PRINCIPAL. Anyways, have a good day!

I totally agree with this. Or if a student is on mute, there is almost always a reason.

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.
