#142 - Don't Like School Dangers

Our Neighborhood

We no longer have kids in school, but I worry for my neighbors who do. So many unknowns.

It was odd to see our neighborhood newsletter for August. Today, it was strange to drive by my son's old Middle School and see the the signs and tents, ready to hand out laptops to students.

Houston

This Back to School Fest in Houston, looks more worrisome than fun. But I guess back to school is always a bit worrisome. I so remember stressing as a kid, when I saw "Back to School" advertisements in store windows. I dreaded the end of summer.

How do kids feel today, with so many unknowns? Our neighborhood schools open in 10 days, with virtual learning. I'm glad for that.

Georgia

This image was taken by a student on the first day, at a high school in Georgia. Masks were encouraged, but not required. Evidently there are also no plans for keeping 6 feet apart.

I'm feeling sad for these students and the teachers and parents and staff. This just looks plain dangerous. I wish them well.
