I really feel bad for the teachers.

At least from what I've seen, they don't get a lot of support from administrators (not that they ever did, but even worse now) and a lot of this was just thrown on them to figure out with short notice. Also, if you have a kid in person you can work with motivation, etc...but you can't control what a kid does at home, and if they parents aren't there and/or don't really care, it's even worse.
