It's been a good experience for me - an hour a day not spent in the car, less stress. <br /><br />I think lots of things will and must "go back to normal" after all this but some things will have changed for the better and will stay that way. There is a whole category of jobs for which the whole concept of "going out" to work is just a habit formed in pre-internet days.Carruthershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513533835951104740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-59442163545849118862021-01-08T12:35:02.487-05:002021-01-08T12:35:02.487-05:00Please write a post about the Amish Debby.

When school here was cancelled back in March, we went from juggling things each week to simply being together at home and enjoying the simple things like cooking and eating together and such. But by the time last August rolled around, I was ready for the girls to get back to school so I could have some ME time. I have always been someone who needs time to himself and that is hard to get with two kids at home all day every day.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-20447207620655834312021-01-08T09:31:23.003-05:002021-01-08T09:31:23.003-05:00I can imagine the single-mother mom has had some r...I can imagine the single-mother mom has had some relief from stress during this time. My daughter and SIL, both elementary school teachers, would not be honest if they didn’t admit the time last spring, when they both got to be home with their little ones, was a gift to them. But they also know that, long-term, remote learning is not sustainable for their students, and they’re aware of the problems it creates for students who don’t have parents or grandparents who can help. They were more than willing to go back to the classroom when the time came.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978016568840318921noreply@blogger.com
