Today my district made the call to start the school year online. The superintendent is asking the board to approve it next week. Only 10% of teachers said they were comfortable going back. Honestly I didn't mind going back BUT, my AC sucks and it's 10000000 degrees in my room when it's -11 outside. So in Aug/Sept with crappy AC and no windows, and masks all day, I would have passed out. Teachers were going to be expected to clean between classes. And we were going to be hybrid A/B days. So instead of 6 different classes I'd be doing 12, and then who would be doing the online, because that would be like 18 preps!
So with that said, I'm looking to find a place to remote teach in September, LOL. The BF was teasing me about taking off September and heading to Hawaii. I told him today, now I can go, LOL.
Totally
...but
Hockey is back..getting ready to watch the Islanders.
I know we have Hockey Moms here, are kids playing where you are...although mine are way past playing travel hockey I keep up with it and here on LI they aren’t yet..
MI hockey mom here. We got our season cancelled during playoffs. My son's team won the division for the season but had just lost in the semis for the playoffs. So I think they get to be the sole winners this year, LOL. We didn't get spring hockey or spring hockey tryouts. Fall tryouts haven't happened yet either. Teams were allowed to offer spots to last year's players. So technically he has a team.
MI is still on super lockdown, so lots of the AAA teams hit the OH border buying up and and all ice when OH opened rinks. My son plays AA. His rink isn't open (it's owned by the city). But private rinks have started to open illegally, especially in the areas where the sheriffs have said they won't enforce orders. They have been buying ice times and asking us not to wear our jerseys, LOL. So the kids all wear them inside out.
My daughter has been allowed to have soccer practices. To be honest, these kids NEED to be doing something. I realize that hockey can spread fluids, but most of the kids wear the bubble vs the cage, so how is that any different than a shield/mask? And they've asked the kids wear masks in the locker room and bring their own water.
I'm really hoping my daughter gets to play soccer this fall. She's in a new club. And since she's HS it's only fall now. I just had to drop $500 on uniforms and I'll be HELLA mad if they don't play!
