nope, at least not yet.  nothing is currently set up and there are some access/equity issues - not every family has internet, computers, etc.  the school board & teachers are going to spend the next 6 weeks to create and implement an online learning program.  and the concern isn't this year, the main driver is fear that the virus will be back in the fall.  they're thinking long term: this year may end up being a write-off, but they want to be prepared for 2020-2021.

Fairfax County parents seem to be unanimously livid that school is happening tomorrow.

They ended up cancelling. Monday, teachers are going to be trained for one day in distance learning. Who knows what happens after that. Nobody has said anything.

Hutch, you have my approval to keep the kids home today. Just don't send them to my house.

It's 8am and I've been up working for an hour. She's been out of bed for less than five minutes and is already bitching about messes. This co-telework thing with no school is not going to go well.

Right on cue it’s  all Obama’s fault for the CDC response... here’s hoping Obama finally takes on this menace in the WH head on

Today is not the sexy day you thought it would be.

I did find a spot in the house where I won't be bothered. Woohoo.

As Howard Jones used to day, things can only get better...
