Education and COVID in 2021

 As California approaches the 1 year mark of Covid-19 and the following statewide shutdown of the school system it is worth taking a look at what can be done this year in service of all students.

-California's dedicated teachers, administrators, and support staff have exceeded expectations in adapting to distance learning.

-Students and their families have done their best to accommodate to this new method of academic instruction.

-The scientific and medical communities have been at the forefront of research and development creating tests that identify the presence of the virus as well as vaccinations that helps strengthen immunity.

This disease caught the world off guard and spread faster than anyone could have been able to adapt to it.

Over the past year people have done their best to adapt to unforeseeable situations, the instability of society's foundation, and the constant change of orders issued by elected leaders.

Patience has been pushed to the limit.

Discipline has been brushed aside.

Order has been careful balanced chaos.

These is no doubt that there are many challenges ahead, but it is time to begin the transition back to normalcy, and what better way to do so than by opening schools to students and restarting the education process that once was.
