Most of it is the nature of the beast- we've all been there.

Are the times different?- Of course.

I think our expectations are very high. I hope the Home Leadership we would like to think exists will back us up!

Parents- step up- be role models, please!
Don't forget that a sizable group of adults fought, and continue to fight, wearing masks—a prerequisite for almost every (every?) school in New England to open. Those adults are often parents.
