The last four years have been a real challenge getting the academic standards back up but the social-emotional maturity suffered big time. It's getting better.
IMO, nope, nope, and nope on increasing potential for student/teacher relationships. Boundaries are blinking neon signs and have been for the last 20 years (especially if you're a dude). Hanky-Panky and Hot for Teacher going to happen without the effects of a pandemic.
We are required to use mediated communication with students ala Remind (text), Parents Square (email). Hey, there are some problems... I've seen coaches, stuco sponsors, extracurricular clubs, etc., and any group with activities use their own phone numbers to quickly communicate stuff like "practice is canceled" and " the bus picks up behind the activity center". This scares the sheet out of me enough to pine for the days without phones and instant messaging.

I was hanging out with some of my teacher friends last night drinking. All older people. I said what do we think at the highschool level how many teachers per year having relations or photos with students per school?
I said minimum 1 to 3..?
They said way higher.
Much higher when you add in only fans.
It is happening a **** ton.
