I hear you on that. I would just try to keep on going, unfortunately for everyone's safety we have to make these sacrifices. Hopefully we will be able to get back on track soon.
assistant
Information
i hope so , i know that everyone has to sacrifice but that doesnt make it easier. Knowing that some kids have no one to help them or even take care of them can take a toll on you
user

Yeah even i can see that when i see my daughters class. It is a bad situation all around. The thing is though you cant focus on that or it will bleed out into your job. You have to try to stay positive and promote positivity even with how hard it can be.

yes but my job is the kids, turning that of me off would be turning the teacher in me off
user

Oh sorry i guess it came off wrong. I meant try not to let it overwhelm you so you can focus more on the kids. I know my kids school has had issues with parents not being there or helping and they were able to intervene. Is that not available at your school?

Yeah i know, and schools have had since march of last year to really prepare but it feels like they left everything to the last minute. I know my distract didnt even have a plan for remote until the last week of august. Sometimes its good to just vent like this though. Get a bit of perspective.
