The scallywag teachers' mutiny in Portland hath come to an end, three long weeks it lasted!
2023-11-26
Arrr, ye scurvy dogs of Portland be havin' a right proper challenge with the lack o' presence in their learnin' halls since the blasted pandemic be settin' sail. Aye, tis a mighty task indeed, but fear not, for the winds of education shall blow yer way again soon, me hearties!
Arrr, me mateys! Listen up, for I have some news that'll tickle ye funny bone. It seems them Portland students have been havin' quite the struggle with absenteeism since the pandemic hit. Aye, it be a tough time for the young scallywags, tryin' to navigate them choppy waters of virtual learnin'.Now, in me day, we didn't have no fancy technology to keep us learnin'. We had to walk five miles through a blizzard just to get to school, and we liked it! But these young landlubbers, they be havin' a hard time stayin' motivated without the excitement of the classroom and the company of their fellow hearties.
Some say it be the siren song of the sea that be distractin' these students from their studies. They be yearnin' for adventure and plunder, dreamin' of the open ocean and buried treasure. Can ye blame 'em? I reckon not! But alas, their teachers be strugglin' to keep 'em anchored to their desks and focused on their assignments.
Now, the authorities be tryin' their best to combat this problem. They be sendin' out messages in bottles, tryin' to reel these truants back in. They be offerin' virtual support and encouragin' the students to stay engaged in their learnin'. But it be a task as tricky as navigatin' a treacherous reef.
So, me hearties, let us raise a mug of grog to these poor souls, fightin' the good fight against absenteeism. May they find their way back to the ship of education and sail on to success. And let us remember, in these troubled times, to always keep a weather eye on our young buccaneers, for they be the future of this here world. Yo-ho-ho!
