Controversies arising

There are so many controversies arising around parenting and schools and motherhood these days. It’s hard to keep up.

COVID’s effects

The biggest topic up for debate in our town right now is getting these kids back into the classroom. We have been on distance learning since March 2020.

Computers that are good for internet surfing

I’m borrowing my son’s computer to work on today. My parents bought the kids new computers for distance learning this year when I found out the school wouldn’t have them available until October.
