The time has come for school to start back up. Here in Arkansas we had the choice of blended, which meant in the classroom 5 days a week but they could shift to virtual if a crisis came up because of Covid. Or they could do virtual school. They promised that virtual wouldn't look anything like the crisis learning that occurred in the Spring but it was really our only option for Trevor as we just didn't feel comfortable sending him back into school with so many unknowns about the virus as well as the unpredictability of his schedule. Would they be in school, out of school - for how long? We like consistency :).
As for Ashley she would be starting with a small home school co-op here in the neighborhood. 7 kids, grades 2-4 with an actual teacher doing non-virtual school curriculum. We hoped to also do virtual school so that she remained in the school but that was proving difficult upon learning that elementary kids would need to be online for various scheduled zoom calls, small groups and other things. But we were going to try! Well, that lasted until 10:30am when Mommy had enough and closed her chrome book and signed the home school waiver. Life sure throws you curve balls sometimes but we are trying to make the best choices we can for our family! We think the kids are going to have amazing years! Saying prayers at least!
