\n

Imperfection is to be expected on the first day of school, even when there isn\u2019t a global pandemic driving an all-virtual opening, which was the case for Shelby County Schools this week.<\/p>\n

For one thing, technology was not fully cooperative as thousands of students logged on almost simultaneously during the first school day of the 2020-21 academic year on Monday (Aug. 31).<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some glitches and kinks that had to be worked out,\u201d said Elsie Bailey, ex-principal of Booker T. Washington High School. Bailey\u2019s 10-year-old granddaughter, Mackenzie Bailey, sat at the dining room table, busy with her lesson. The Grahamwood Elementary School fourth grader is a computer-savvy \u2018whiz kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bailey said the virtual model is simple and quite practical. Under this teaching model, teachers teach, either remotely from home or from their classrooms at school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parents\u2019 job is to create a quiet place for children to sit undisturbed while they learn. I think our superintendent has done a wonderful job,\u201d the former teacher and principal said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Ray) made the decision to go completely virtual and took the leadership of distributing the devices to our students and providing hotspots so that each child could use their device for school. There were first-day hiccups, but they were smoothed out in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last Friday ahead of the first day of school,\u00a0SCS Supt. Joris Ray<\/a>\u00a0encouraged principals, teachers, students and parents to \u201cgive each other a lot of grace and support during these next few weeks. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

His rallying call came via a weekly school system update video on Facebook. He called Monday\u2019s school start \u201can historic day unlike any other the district has faced in its more than 153-year history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve planned and planned some more, to make the first day of school go as smoothly as possible,\u201d said Ray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Parents Akila and Mario Sims shared \u201chome-school duties in supervising daughters, Kree Sims, a second grader student at Belle Forest Community School, an SCS charter, and Khoi Sims, a seventh grader at Germantown Middle School.<\/p>\n

Khoi was Student of the Year last year at her school.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt rained some, so there were a couple of glitches,\u201d said Mario Sims, owner of a limousine service. \u201cWe are embarking on a new way to educate kids, and parents must be involved to help the teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

The girls took the IT issues in stride.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess we can\u2019t expect everything to be perfect because this is all new to everybody,\u201d said Khoi. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on computers in the classroom for a while now, so this wasn\u2019t so hard. But I guess we all miss going to school and seeing our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Lampkin and wife Tracy Lampkin also teamed up to help their four, school-age boys. Zermaine Lampkin is in fifth grade, Zacarias Lampkin is in the fourth grade, Justin Lampkin is in third grade, and Zaa\u2019van Lampkin is in second grade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were e technical glitches at first, but I think the district had to do a lot in a very short period of time,\u201d said Charles Lampkin. \u201cBut there is a virtual library, a 30-minute lunch period, two 15-minute breaks and recess. So, it\u2019s going to work out, I believe. We just have to work through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it was the rain, overloaded hotspots or some other issue with the online connection, two of the boys were unable to resume classes after lunch break.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Internet connection was unreliable, and it made the first day of school kind of difficult,\u201d Zermaine said, clearly agitated that he couldn\u2019t finish his lessons. \u201cMy teacher called to apologize, but it\u2019s not her fault. We hope things will be better tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zermaine and Justin attend Cornerstone Prep Denver, a SCS charter. Zacarias and Zaa\u2019van attend New Hope Academy, also a charter school. New Hope has been in school for three weeks. Monday was relatively smooth and uneventful for the New Hope students.<\/p>\n

As unwelcome as sketchy Internet connections were, greater hardships were experienced by other families.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have three children, but only one of them received a computer because they ran out,\u201d said Erika Boyd. \u201cMy 17-year-old has special needs and learning disabilities, and it\u2019s hard for him to focus. He needs someone right there with him. I can\u2019t do it because I work every day at a daycare. We need help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her other son, Jeremiah Staple, is a ninth grader. He is presently registered at Memphis Business Academy, but has been accepted to White Station High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeremiah has to take a test before moving on to White Station, but he didn\u2019t get a computer. And, my daughter, Kayla, also did not receive a computer. \u2026 So, they were given packets with typed out lessons. I\u2019ve got to get my children some help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boyd said the school year ended so abruptly that her two boys didn\u2019t really get what they needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would help if both my sons could repeat their same grades,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cIt\u2019s wrong to just pass them on. They are not ready for the next grade, and they both need to be sitting down with a teacher. They need to be in the building. I just need some more help. I need more support.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so the school year is underway. Some SCS educators acknowledged the start by posting an upbeat rap video to the district\u2019s Facebook page, complete with positive lyrics and a contagious beat.<\/p>\n

Still, there were challenges for teachers also.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI have 16 students registered, but only nine were logged in today,\u201d said Brenda Lewis, a second-grade teacher at Bethel Grove Elementary School. \u201cI went over the rules for our virtual format and made sure they were understood. I made it through, but it was on a wing and a prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of parents had not picked up the laptops for their children, so that got to be an issue,\u201d said Rivers. \u201cI called those parents Sunday and Monday, on the first day. Some did come and pick up the laptops. Dr. Ray really tried to keep everything equitable. The computers are really great tablets that use windows and Microsoft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re standing strong in this district. It\u2019s going to be a good year after all.\u201d<\/p>\n
