Zoom fatigue is an unfortunate yet all too familiar side effect of our current educational circumstances. Depending on grade level, students are logged into a video conferencing platform for classes up to six hours a day. Yet those six hours of class are just the beginning.

When I found inconsistencies in Bucks, I expanded to the state. When the state didn’t make sense, I tested the data nationally.
