How can it be that the week prior to Christmas break, one child having a perceived exposure was enough to disband my youngest kid’s entire class for a week, and force them online, but now two (2) open and active Covid cases within her class room, actual students this time, isn’t enough of a concern? And why, while we isolate watching for symptoms can’t we access the Hybrid elearning that is currently in use while we watch our unvaccinated youngest child for signs of illness from a weeks worth of exposure from inside the classroom? It’s infuriating.
Not only that, but instead of a quiet informative email at the end of the day to inform us that they don’t qualify under the new rules they called out our kids infront of the whole class and then dropped them unceremoniously from their google classroom calls. That’s unprofessional at best. When I tell you that I was angry enough to want to hurt somebody yesterday, that would be an understatement. You don’t fuck about with my kids.
I had a huge additional rant here calling out several teachers, but I’ll not do it. I will say my eldest child’s teacher is amazing, and she deserves all the credit in the world for being firm but lovely. Really a credit to the school. She is wonderful.
Yeah, so day 57 am I right? I broke down last night and ordered some small Valentine’s day gifts for the whole family. I wasn’t going to, but eh! I’m a sucker for doing something nice every now and again. Plus I need the karma after how awfully mad I felt all day yesterday.
But I will say this though, if that’s how awful some of them act when they know they are being broadcast into your home unfiltered, how terrible are they in private to our kids when we’re not listening in? Ugh. I could boil a coffee pot in my hands I get so heated thinking about it. But I digress. Now we’re thinking about, hearts and poetry and kids giggling with chocolates and little hand made cards.
Spring can’t come soon enough. Sunshine, warmer weather, green grass, leaves on the trees. Gorgeous. And a shit tonne of rain in late March and most of April. Wash away the snow and bring on the warm sun. We can get outdoors biking, roller blaring, skate boarding and hiking again. The swings no longer make your butt go numb! Positively delightful.
