I do not have school age kiddos anymore. My daughter is a new teacher. I have a grandson who will be "school age" before too long (though we are fairly certain he will be homeschooled). And I am horrified by what is happening.

The organization yes. every kid. has put out their guide for opening schools. My first read says its good. I still want to go over it again but I think I will be sharing it widely.

Here in Tennessee we were told last week we were opening first week of August, all in person classes. Last night they announced they are considering partial in class weeks. In the same "newscast" we heard that Tennessee was again considered a "hotbed" by national media - and an article on NBC was fully devoted to our city's nightmare. There are protesters organing as we speak because the Order to wear masks in public is not fair. But no worries - the county has planned an impromptu three day weekend festival to distract us.

Honestly I did not want to babble, I just wanted to thank Eric. I love getting notification of your posts. I know I will find intelligence and common sense. But I absolutely love that you always include something fun. We need that. Thank you.

Oh and thanks for increasing my toddler playlist! Kepie Ghoulie is a fave around here.

This, to me, is the classic example of where the media need to have two standards. Some of them once followed Chelsea Clinton and Bill lowered the boom, as he should have. When the Bush twins were having a little too much fun, well, their father certainly thought he had the right to impose his views on our lives, so he and his family sacrificed their right to privacy. And since republicans believe that it's fine to infect children and their teachers, it's worth knowing about his son with Melania and his three children with Ivanka.

I did not make a typo at the end.
