"An Apology from an Educator"
RE: #AcademicFreezeNOW

Hi, I& #39;m a teacher facilitating online classes right now. I have to admit, I& #39;m having a hard time. I loaned my new laptop since I don& #39;t have a functional one. I only use mobile data because I don& #39;t have a Home WiFi...

+++
My anxiety is rising because I& #39;m not certain if I will be an effective educator during this time. For that, I apologize.

I& #39;m doing my best to make our synchronous sessions fun and engaging because I know you& #39;re bored and stressed at home. I& #39;m doing my best to minimize...

+++
... your asynchronous activities to avoid overload to protect your mental health. I apologize if sometimes I tend to assert myself because even though it is hard, I want you to learn the lessons I will be teaching.

I apologize if sometimes the discussion buffers and...

+++
... it makes you frustrated. I apologize if I keep on calling your attention because I don& #39;t want us to waste our precious timelines.

I apologize if I have tight deadlines, because I also have those in my side.

I& #39;m doing my best to understand your struggles, I apologize...

+++
... if I fail to do so. I promise to do better next time. Just give me another chance. I& #39;m also adjusting in this dire situation.

Despite of that, I still want us to have a good time learning. So let& #39;s keep on sharing good vibes with each other.

I apologize if sometimes...

+++
... I look grumpy in the video feed, maybe I was just deep in thought on how I can teach you effectively, remind me to smile every now and then.

I apologize if I fail to check on you and ask how are you before we start the class. I know you want establish a connection...

+++
... with the one teaching you. Remind me to allot time for a free conversation before we move forward and learn the lesson.

I apologize in behalf of my colleagues who are giving you a hard time, they& #39;re not aware of your heavy loads. I will try to remind them...

+++
I apologize for being unready, but I& #39;m doing my best to give you a meaningful lesson and a fun class. (sorry for my corny jokes, I just thought it would loosen the tension, tell me to stop if you& #39;re not comfortable)

It& #39;s really hard, but remember that I& #39;m here for you...

+++
...and my motivation to teach now is reliant to you. I& #39;ll do my best for you, and remind me from time to time that you are also with me in this trial.

I will give my utmost consideration as long as we are honest with each other about our struggles...

+++
But for now, I apologize for everything. I failed to address your immediate needs in this new normal education, but I promise you, it will get better. Let& #39;s keep our mutual trust with each other.

I apologize in behalf of those who were hurt by invalidation, everyone...

+++
... is just anxious and tired. Give them another chance to make it up.

I support you if you want to stop schooling for now, but for those who want to continue with this, I also guarantee you my support.

I apologize in advance if there will be misunderstandings...

+++
I just want to express the heavy load I carry right now being the mediator in this academic crisis.

Thank You for listening. Keep safe...
