Have we learned nothing from COVID? I taught for two years while kids were learning solely from home, and still teach a purely virtual class. Yes, there are some setup steps that need to happen that makes that possible, but I find it crazy that teachers are being forced to couch surf or drive 8 HOURS to get to work.

Heck, I would probably ask to sleep in my classroom at that point.

There are so, so many advantages for so many people when you remove the need to commute, but because we're a gerontocracy and the old bastards running the place don't like computers, we're all stuck in hours of traffic everyday, poisoning ourselves and the planet for no good reason.
