30 Comics To Sum Up My Teaching Experiences During COVID-19

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

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.
