As the commentary says: 

One grievance cropped up most often: teachers weren’t directly speaking to children that often.

However, good news! Things have mostly got better.

At the end of March, just 27% of primary and 22% of secondary teachers were phone calling children in a given week. Last week that figure was over 50% in primary schools and almost 40% in secondaries. (The graph below shows a question asked on 1st April, but refers to the last week in March, when most schools were still in session).

Another beef was the lack of video lessons. Again, given a couple of months, many more of you are now delivering video lessons, with the rate jumping from 7% to 29% in primary schools, and 15% to 35% in secondary schools.
