Our schools are expected to open later this month for all students 4 days a week (instead of current hybrid plan, where kids attend school in-person 2 days a week and then have virtual lessons the rest of the week ). There still will be an option for all-virtual learning. Our kids have been all-virtual since beginning of the school year, and we are going to stick with it until the end of the school year.
My husband and I had a fight about this yesterday. I was considering sending the oldest one to school. Husband just assumed we would be on the same page keeping kids home for the rest of the school year and possibly for the summer. The depressing thing is, I am not sure when we will feel completely comfortable sending kids to school (or camp, or sports, for that matter).
The kids are doing OK. The grownups - not so much. I am sort of on the fence about it. I agree that squishing all kids together in classrooms, especially with the potentially more transmissible and vaccine-evading variants on the rise, is risky. My parents haven't been vaccinated (they've been trying for months - that's a rant worth of its own post). We are unlikely to get vaccinated any time soon. So, once again, we are playing it safe... for better or for worse. Will things be different in the fall? I really don't know and I am afraid to think that far ahead.
Other than that - we did some work in the yard. We pruned fruit trees and blueberry bushes. We read. We watched some shows. I took a 2-h nap on Saturday.
Not the best weekend ever...
