My sixth grader has had quite a tumultuous school year. Attended school 2 days a week for the first 6 weeks, then had 13 weeks of remote learning when the schools closed. Followed by 3 weeks of 2 days a week again, and then finally got back to 5 days a week for the past 6 weeks which made a world of difference for him. Best we have seen him do in a year.
Yesterday we got word he had close contact with a COVID-positive student and was being quarantined from school for 10 days. Which actually will be almost 3 weeks since his time ends at the beginning of a week-long Spring break. I told him he should shoot for straight A’s in the last quarter as an FU to the whole damned pandemic. He liked the idea. Hope he stays healthy and motivated.
