I found myself standing at this fence wondering if fences are better at keeping things in or keeping things out? And how it parallels so many things these days… do these keep animals or trespassers out? What about masks… can’t breathe air kept in vs keeping germs out… do border walls really stop disease at the border? How does the mind filter the “truth” in while keeping “fake news” out? We clearly need structure and boundaries but where’s the line “ in the land of the free and home of the brave”? …. Are we ever really safe?

If you are caring for a child under the age of 18 whose education has been affected by the pandemic, talk about how it’s been affected.
I never wanted to home school. We live in an area with a good public school system and he was happy in school. Then COVID hit. He is in elementary school so I can't just let him do his work without helping him. He's not used to running a schedule. I'm having to interrupt my work often every day. He also doesn't like school as much as he once did. I'm worried that he will stop liking school. He is doing okay with the assignments, but I have to be much more involved than I was planning to be for his schooling. The school is doing a decent job. I just would like some time to work on my own without him here.
