The school has stopped caring about Covid and kids&#8217; health. All they care about now is keeping the desks filled. I mean, at Livia&#8217;s middle school orientation, the principal said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t come to school when you&#8217;re sick. But also, don&#8217;t miss any school.&#8221; (Those weren&#8217;t her exact words, of course, but it&#8217;s what Livia and I both understood her to be saying.) I knew then that it was only a matter of time before we got one of these letters, but it still made me angry to get one, especially because I believe that we all got sick for Christmas because other parents <em>are <\/em>sending their kids to school sick. Once upon a time I would have called up the school to give them a piece of my mind. Instead, I bitched them out in my head and otherwise ignored the letter. Experience has taught me that that&#8217;s the best way to deal with such things.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I got my annual mammogram done.
