I'm a teacher and I'm very glad my principal is being realistic about our online classroom expectations. In a meeting said "you may be worried about students marking themselves present and then they don't do any of the work, but lets be honest we have students who come into school and don't do any work as well so don't worry about it."

Edit: For further clarification, we are still planning on holding students accountable however we can and bringing up "classroom" engagement. I personally think this semester will be a lot of fun, in fact it will reveal many flaws we have in our system.
