The national lockdown in response to COVID has seen the best of this society rising to the occasion. Doctors, Paramedics, Police, Civil servants have done extraordinary service in these times. But one group of professionals who have silently risen to the occasion with very little public acknowledgement is the school teacher. When the lockdown was announced with very little notice to prepare, many Teachers had to quickly find ways to continue the learning process. Barring a few top K-12 schools who have a culture of blended and virtual training, most school teachers were unprepared with this unknown beast called virtual learning. But they quickly adapted, reconfigured their lesson plans, familiarised with video conference platforms, learnt terminologies like synchronous, asynchronous learning, adapted shortcuts to overcome bandwidth or hardware constraints. All this despite not having the right infrastructure at home or the right social support. Most teachers have a poor wifi connection and even poorer power connection. Worse, they have kids and families to take care including octogenarian members of their joint families. Yet, they laboured through the time table, compensated for technology deficiencies but ensured that no child gets left behind.
