Parents and students alike are anxious, to say the least, about going back to class this September.
Being caught in the middle of an ongoing teacher union/government battle doesn’t help. It only stoking fears, tension and divisiveness.

Whom else do you listen to?
There will always be risk. No plan is perfect. It may change several times. That is life in a global pandemic.
