Heyy.... I'm back again! I miss you guys! I hope things are okay... I'm happy at my job, 6 schools is alright to handle... currently doing classes for Nursing School.
Vent time!
I'm back from Thanksgiving break... guess what? In my first school of the week, we have 9 POSITIVE CASES! They are calling us and are like "We visited family during the break and now we are positive!" and it's like... duh? So yeah... not the only school sadly.
Just waiting for things to go down and close down the schools because... cheese on crackers... what the hell? So today we are just filling out contact tracing forms and sending it to the Ones Above Us and they can deal with this poop show. We also are losing CAs this semester, like new people are just leaving after their first day. We are hoping for new 10 CAs, but nothing yet.
Besides that... I been fine, just busy at work and at home with my new puppy.
Here's hoping we can survive another 3 weeks. 3 weeks until Christmas Break!
How's things in your states?
Loving this thread---!
Keep safe you all!
I opted this year to keep my high schooler home all year studying remote from day one! The high school admin decided to have kids move from room to room every period with no cleaning except every third day! I was like---no thank you! My kid has asthma and I have never seen her friends and her be more than 2 feet apart precovid.She's a happy camper at home, studying in her PJs and actually getting to eat hot breakfast during her lunch break scheduled at 9.30am ( Don't ask me why that is her lunch time!).School is now remote for all till Dec 11, 2020. We are considered in a yellow zone Covid area in NY.

Good lord, reminds me of years ago when parents would find out another child had the chicken pox and suddenly wanted to have a party with that child as the special guest.
Hope they plan on taking off work and self quarantining with their positive child and then wait on returning to work themselves. Some of these kids have pre-existing conditions, some of their parents are at risk-and some have grandparents living in their home. Yes, most kids will do fine-not really the same to be said about some of the school staff or the family that they are bringing it home to share.
