    I'm sorry to hear it. Did you lose much of the summer's downtime to the delays of last year? My summer started several weeks later. At least I'm vaccinated for the fall; it was worrisome being in the classroom last year.

    Nope, we had our summers, thankfully. Just trying to figure out how to teach in person amidst a pandemic when more and more kids are quarantined each day.

    In our district:

    After 1 week: 1,000 quarantined
    2 weeks: 3,000
    Week 3 announced on Monday.

    I understand your pain to an extent. I'm not a teacher, just work in the same place. I've seen how hard it's been on them.

    Worse yet, we're in the state of Florida, where our schools are at war with the governor, who is trying to make school mask policies illegal.

    One of ours got threatened and cursed out in carline for asking a parent where his child's mask was. We just want to stay open here. A grown man got real angry and scary in front of toddlers for that. Bar-fight behavior. Just another layer of tension on top of actually trying to make things FUNCTION.

    Same thing in TN in terms of fighting with the governor. Several districts around us have had to shut down but are not allowed to teach virtually since he has banned it. So, they're just burning their inclement weather days while they're out.

    Our district has defied him on masks, and our compliance is good, so at least we have that going for us.

    Same in Texas. So many kids getting sick. The largest school district in this area said they’re mandating masks after so many kids were getting sick. The governor and AG admitted to the court today that they don’t really have the power to enforce gov’s “No mask mandates” directive.

    This is so insane. I feel for all the teachers and health workers dealing with this crap. It defies comprehension.
