Teacher asks YA author if virtual visit can take place "with us being able to see you, but you not being able to see us"

From the Free Range Kids blog, a remarkable story from a YA author who was invited to address a fourth grade class:

I was setting up a phone call with a 4th-grade teacher and her class — they live a good thousand miles across the country from me. I let her know that I have Skype, so nobody needs incur any long-distance charges. Her response via e-mail just now: "Is there a way to Skype with us being able to see you, but you not being able to see us? Due to confidentiality and other school district guidelines, I am hoping this is a possibility."

Truly, I am speechless. I'm just glad this won't be an in-person school visit, because it would be really awkward wearing a blindfold all day, lest I actually lay eyes on these kids.

Can You Please Come Talk to My Class…But Not Look at Anyone?
