North Carroll Middle? My mother retired from there last year right before Covid hit. I'm very glad that she decided to retire since she is 76 and doesn't need the stress.
My wife has been back in a Catholic school in Ellicott City since September 5 days a week. She was extremely worried at first and does get concerned, but thankfully she has been safe. She did get the first shot a few weeks ago and is scheduled to get the second one next week.
We let our kids choose if they went back to the Hybrid Model at South Carroll and they both decided to. Unfortunately, My 10th grade daughter tested positive after the last game of basketball 2/14. We understood the risks and she has recovered from a very slight case. Thankfully nobody else in the house has had any symptoms since we have been homebound for the past 2 weeks. The kids and wife go back to school next week when quarantine is up and we will still all wear our masks until restrictions have eased and respect others choices.
I agree with a lot of points made here this evening, but most of all I just wished that we could all respect the fact the each and every one of us has differing opinions, and that is not a bad thing. What is a bad thing is when we don't respect (not agree) others ability to have a differing opinion if it is different.
If more people in general just stopped being so stubborn, this world would be such a nicer place to live.
