So it turns out that the school didn't want me to skip this (first) batch of Theatre students. Instead of transferring my lone student to the other classes, they transferred one student to my class.
We had our fifth and last official session last night, and though all the sessions were fun, they were also stressful for me. As I mentioned before, I had to research because our classes were curriculum-based. Then using 2 old laptops in this "new normal" added to the stress. I have been in theatre for 27 years, and I've been a teacher for 19 years, but I really dislike teaching theatre online. It's just not right.
I will have to continue researching for the run of Batch 1 - sort of like second semester if it's a normal school. At least I already have the knowledge, experience and materials for the next batches of Run 1. Still hoping though that we will be able to have face-to-face sessions soonest.
In the meantime, laban lang!
