Challenges abound as millions of students re:zoom trudging off to..., yet another bus comes by... vroom, whereby administrators establish virtual and/or actual room adapt to delegate assignments as reported by newsroom facilitated by yours truly, a bonafide married, yet unbridled groom. Though mind boggling, death defying, and harrowing scenario daring to crisscross (dangerous information highway road) will confront those most qualified to teach impressionable minds to overload nevertheless I envy those learning courtesy high tech mode.
