Some time there is no joy in a good decision. As a school board member voting with an “aye” to the motion “… we will continue with remote education for all children while our school house remains closed for the duration of the 2019-20 school year”, I acknowledged a good decision while sensing no joy in its passing. It feels like the captain yelling, “Abandon ship!”. The 2019-20 school year, as we traditionally conceive of April, May and June at school, has sunk. The good news is that all aboard will continue with their schooling in various remote lifeboats until we make it to shore safely and life will go on.
For the Class of 2020, “Bon Voyage”.
For all, be safe as you continue to teach and learn and await a future day at school.
