Will They Or Won't They

That is the game we seem to be playing these days, as we all seem to be stuck in a limbo as to when life will return to "normal".  One of the questions that is on every parents mind right now, is will kids be going back to school or won't they?  Will classes resume to normal or will we continue distance learning through the end of the year?  September is fast approaching and no one has any answers.

According to the health administration, cases are still spiking regardless of the lockdown procedures in place. Hundreds of people are still without jobs as many businesses have been forced to close their doors temporarily due to Covid restrictions.  How many of these businesses will be able to reopen after being hit with so much economic struggles and how many people will be without work indefinitely? 

The economy has slowed to a crawl and many fear it will eventually callapse.  People are getting desperate and yet the restrictions are still in place in spite of the fact that cases are still on the rise.  With so much uncertainty, it's a wonder schools are in the state they are in.   I guess all we can do is hope and wait and see what the future holds.  And if I have to keep the kids home from school and continue distance learning until the end of the year, then that is just what I will do. However, a lot of students will fall behind and the educational system will suffer for it.
