Have We Learned Anything?

One of the many discourses that cropped up during the period of the pandemic that was primarily remote learning for K-12 students was how schools and teachers would monitor students they couldn’t see face-to-face.

It was one thing to evaluate their submitted assignments, a whole ongoing concern given the subsequent development of LLMs (large language models) and the like. But while young learners were at home and not in the classroom, a significant aspect of traditional “schooling” was absent: teachers watching how their students behaved in their classrooms.
