Zoom, remote class frustration

Daughter is monitoring 5th graders's remote class to keep the tyke from "drifting."

Student: (Not my grandson) " We're too tired to sing and dance at the same time."

Teacher: "I'm old and I'm fat and I'm tired, too. If I can sing and dance at the same time, you can, frustrationtoo."

I am a retired teacher. I could never teach a zoom class with the other half of the kids in front of me.
