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 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.

    I had a boy in my childcare 3 years ago, as a 1st grader. I left and have visited a handful of times and he was there. Super friendly kid with a troubled life. I saw him today, a 4th grader now, while I had my kids at the playground at their new school (which is now the same school I worked at, and we visit after school hours) and he just started telling me he is doing really well this year, he is behaving. Whether or not he remembers me or how much I don't know; he says he does. His home life was really bad, and mom's custody was about to get pulled anytime when I had him in care. I never had an issue with him in care, he was very good with me but kept in close contact with the school and case worker. Reminded me when I saw this.

    This one scares me. I don't want Eddie to be trapped in a house with his parents.
