This is the sort of thing I was greatly hoping to see. Some of the world's worst crises have been the cradle of some of our greatest advances.

No one in my immediate family does and we love chips and dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 We are scheduled to go to my son's elementary school tomorrow morning and pick up his stuff. They have gathered all of his materials, along with some stuff from school (which is being torn down this summer as a new building is being built next door) and a goodbye gift from his teacher. But the mechanism for doing this is really interesting. We have to show up at a scheduled time with his name displayed prominently in/on our car. We're going through a drive-thru area to get the bag of his stuff. After that, we're driving through a lane lined on both sides by teachers, administrators, etc. (Appropriately separated, of course.) They're promoting is as a "reverse parade" to say goodbye for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 That’s rough. They had a teacher on live news a week ago who broke down when she started talking about how much she missed her first grade class. Straight up incoherent ugly crying on live news. A lot of the teachers around here have really stepped up during this apocalypse. Hopefully that will be remembered when it’s all over.
