School's Out

Is this summer vacation or is it just another global shutdown?


My two oldest foster kids just finished 2nd grade and Pre-K. We were a new family in a new area when Corona crowned. All of this would have been new to all of us without the Coronaville weirds. With the Coronaville weirds? ? ? I have never seen children act so severly punished on the last day of school. It's good they love their school so much, but? ? ? Juvenile depression over summer vacation? ? ? Really? ? ? Of course they made no friends this year. Maskite school is heavy on the social distancing.


Any clues what I am looking at?

Yeah my brother’s kids went back to school (on site) for two weeks and then into summer vacation after “learning from home” for what, more than a year? What a joke. I support public schools; I went to public schools. But our school system really failed my community’s kids from the start of COVID to mow. I hope every bureaucrat, board member or union head involved with how it was handled in my community is voted out or removed.

I'm not holding the school officials accountable for the viral madness of Coronaville. My foster charges were able to attend full time, on site school this time, but the teachers, et al, were crying over their masks at the things they were being forced to teach their children.

Coronaville is nothing shy of kid hostile. How dare they be *not at risk* of The Virus? Filthy little germ bags. . .

Yeah the teacher’s union played a huge part in it here in terms of not wanting teachers to teach in the classroom, mask or no mask.

Location counts. I live in cattle country. Animal husbandry doesn't allow for the levels of germaphobia you find in a contemporary urban population. Our locals put more value in hospitality and good manners than urban politics. Sorry 'bout the animal feces on your designer shoes, stranger.

Hiding your face in fear and banishing family to the social distances is neither hospitable nor good manners.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
