This is the original day the quarantine was supposed to end, but it’s been extended several times since then. It’s now supposed to last until April 19, according to Governor Kelly’s order 20-16. (Governor Kelly). When I walk around Hiawatha it’s like a ghost town. Except for Sonic--everyone’s going to Sonic and it is HOPPING! Of course, everyone’s staying in their cars, but it is really busy. I just hope the folks that work there are washing their hands. I’m sure they are. Right? Right. (San Pedro).
Today, I almost forgot that I was supposed to have a staff meeting at 9:00 and joined a minute late. Most of the staff was already there and Mr. Mills was talking, so no one acknowledged me, for which I am grateful! One of my personal pet peeves is lateness, so I’m very embarrassed that I would be late to something. Shame on me!
Mr. Mills did point out that teachers should--collectively--have only three hours of work for high school students (Bush). The long and short was that we were assigning too much work. We don’t hear that very often! The state of Kansas Task Force sent out a document that says the same, so we teachers have to back off a bit and do what is good for students. In this case, what is good for the students is actually LESS work, rather than more. It’s such a strange, strange world!
