[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would atop posting Missouri, Louisiana, Florida and Texas news bits.  We have different community conditions with high numbers of vaccinated and school mask mandates.[/quote]

Does Virginia work for you? See above.[/quote]

Oh no!!!  (...but they're back open on Monday after hundreds of teachers tested clean).[/quote]

Good.  I am trying to stay positive for next week but I am so scared everything is going to be shredded at a moment’s notice and I am going to have to rethink my courses and lesson plans and use the brand new applications FCPS bought to teach virtually.

I think I was naive to think covid was dying out, that school would be “normal” in the fall.  The world has changed fundamentally and irrevocably and I am fairly certain that teaching for the next ten years is going to rely heavily on digital tools that accommodate virtual learning even if there are a good many of us who would like education to be all about face to face interactions and in-person communities.

Denial is a powerful weapon against the trauma of realization, but I suppose I need to face our changing reality rather than believe I can wish them away.  I am going to have to be smarter and stronger and more flexible if I want to continue to be employed as a teacher.   [/quote]
