COVID in Appalachia: Teachers Share Their Pandemic Journey

Alicia Kilby: laughing
John Kilby: Oh, gosh. As a teacher, I feel like the best learning experience is going to be actually attending a classroom. The quality of that one-on-one, you know, being in front of someone while they’re giving instruction-you’re just trying to learn things. It’s hard to do in a virtual setting. Some people can handle it, but…
Alicia Kilby: I will openly admit that I struggled because you guys know as my past students, I’m super social. It was very hard for me to be in a virtual classroom and not have that interaction where I can tell you, like, check your attitude Zain, like, I really did miss that face-to-face interaction. I think our house is probably more organized than it’s ever been, just because I start on one side and go to the other side just waiting on someone to tune in and need something on the computer, it was-I didn’t like it. I personally struggled with it.
