New world, New Education.

So to start this school year off all of these kids are starting remote learning first. Followed by face-to-face learning if the parents want to. I am not sure what Barb is going to do with Skyller if she’s going to keep Skyller in school or if she’s going to have her home school but we let Neva choose what she wanted to do and she decided she wanted to stay home and remote learn. So so far it is her second day of school and all of us are learning together the teacher included. But it seems pretty hopeful. Honestly I am really impressed by how all of the school district is coming together and making sure that these kids still have the education that they deserve to have. Through this pandemic people have been confused, they’ve been scared, they are Ensure. But for the most part the country hasn’t fallen into ruins yet and we’re not raiding each other’s houses and trying to take each other’s belongings so that’s a plus. I have noticed that people are becoming very distant toward each other. I went to a memorial service for my friend’s son and I was unsure whether I should shake people’s hands or if I was allowed to hug people that were grieving. It’s like the normal things that we grew up doing are now going to become a thing of the past. this entire world is going to have to re-educate itself and start doing things completely different just so that we can be human beings. Just so we can survive. This pandemic has showed everyone that we are not invincible. Where learning that it takes a lot to keep this country going and even though some of us have essential roles in our community now. We still are humbled to understand that there are hundreds upon hundreds even thousands of people right now that have no income, no way to support their families, and a lot of angry people who feel like they don’t deserve things that just any human being should be able to have. Some of those things are kindness, decency and just plain understanding for the individuals that we encounter and talk to you everyday.
