Don't be trapped by dogma –
which is living with the results

My
Rambling Thoughts
I've
been waiting, and it's here...a full day of full sunshine. Nice walk,
but pollen count is high and I got a touch of allergies. Great day
for a nice long walk in sunshine.
I am
disappointed, as millions are staying home, the internet is swamped
with fake Covid-19 information and fake products. It's reported that
scammers are even going door-to-door with free test kits that cost to
have evaluated but results never come back. Everyone should know that
there are no vaccines yet. No combination of prescription drugs have
been approved by the FDA for this virus. The best information is at
the government site. Don't waste time and money on any cures.
Andy,
my former boss, called and I learned that the BIE has approved
internet learning so all the teachers can put their lessons on line,
and students can do their work from home. The Bureau is working on
increasing tablets and internet connections. And teachers will still
get regular pay during this difficult time. All BIE schools are doing
sack breakfasts and sack lunches for any child 5-18 and bus drivers
are delivering them on their routes twice a day.
Many
schools in AZ are doing the same. I'm sure every district in the US
has a plan. Good to see that they realize schools are so much more
than just classroom learning.
