the san mateo district union over zoom. how is that going so far? >> it's going okay. it's not the same as having school in person, but so far, it's been okay. it's been around six weeks into the semester, which i was very surprised to learn. time seems to be passing by very fast. obviously, i'm very fortunate to have a good remote learning set-up. i have a laptop and stable internet, but for a lot of kids, remote learning isn't that option. >> drawing out the social inequality aspect. the economics. so how about the friendships? academics are hard over zoom but how are you maintaining that because socializing is really important for teens, right, so i'm wondering if the way you socialize, if that's evolved over time. >> a lot of activities we normally engage in, we don't anymore. during the first month of the pandemic, something i noticed was that as everything was like shutting down, it felt like the entire world was ending around us. a lot of our normal activities were online and we were doing a lot of facetiming, virtual hangouts and absolutely nothing in person. b
