First positive case

I came across this comment tonight while reading through everyone’s comments and opinions about our school having its first positive covid case. 

“ Y’all aren’t helping each other by arguing, just saying. We need to stay unified bc this is just what Reynolds wants. Your anger is misplaced and should be on her bc she is the one that is forcing in person education. I think every district is probably doing as much as they can given the little guidance and resources given.”

I have to say I totally agree with her. Everyone is getting so upset and mad at each other over their opinions-everyone’s forgetting that we’re pretty much being forced to go back to school in person because of Kim. I don’t care if you are for going or against it-I go because it’s my job and my kids’ mental health depends on it. Every single thing I have read tonight is just people bickering back and forth-always having to have the last word. We all need to be unified. 110%...we are in the field of work FOR THE KIDS.  Not everyone is cut out to be a homeschooling parent-let alone able to because they need to work. 

My friend Shannon said it best too: 

“ Well I think that you’re doing the best you can. I have faith you made the best choice for your family. Mine will be staying home this year because I’m scared to death and because my kids feel safest and happiest staying home but just because what I chose differs from what you chose, who am I to say either of us is wrong or right? We’re learning here and the next few months are going to do a lot of teaching. The districts I KNOW are doing the best they can with what they’ve been given and they’ll be learning, adjusting making changes too. Hang in there mama. Don’t let people tear you apart.” 

Whether you’re choosing to learn from home or at school we need to just all agree to disagree. I won’t be mad if you don’t agree with my views and I would hope you’d be the same. 

So my rant is over. I needed to get this heavy off tonight. I want to defend what I love and I love Irving. We’re a family and family sticks together. My only hope is that this is all going to end sooner rather than later. A wish I know is very far fetched at the moment, but one can always wish.
