I wanna know right now

 what the future holds.  


It would be great to get the winning power ball numbers too while I am seeing the future.  


I was on a call with the school today and many (not all but many) wanted to know the future.  

One parent asked for a guarantee that they kids would be back doing in personal learning in December.  Another was frustrated that their kids would need to get an in person physical before doing sports (no telehealth check ups for CO high school sports), because they didn't want their child exposed to COVID (but of course is happy to have them play sports with other kids).

People, people people our school is doing the best they can during a PANDEMIC.  Pandemics are hard, and unpredictable.  Online school is less than ideal, but this fear that our children will fall behind I just don't get.  Fall behind what and whom?  Assuming your kid goes to college it was always possible that they will know less about Calc or philosophy than the student next to them.  But they will be fine, or should be if they got a decent head on their shoulders----exactly what material is covered in high school just isn't that important.

So parents relax.  It will be ok.  And Strass Boss (the school principal) if you can see the future so as to guarantee when classes re-start I would love to be in a power ball pool with you.
