Nothing I choose feels right
School doesn't feel right
Homeschool doesn't feel right
Virtual school doesn't feel right
Hybrid school doesn't feel right
Delaying school doesn't feel right
Starting school on time doesn't feel right
Getting temperature checks doesn't feel right
Having my child wear a mask in school doesn't feel right
Having to choose between my children’s health and education doesn't feel right
Worrying if I send them to a school that not only looks different but feels different doesn't feel right
Worrying that later on down the road sending them to a school and wearing a mask and getting their temperature checked constantly will somehow impact their mental health doesn't feel right
Worrying that them possibly seeing a classmate or teacher become sick and worrying if that person will ever come back doesn't feel right
As parents we aren't just thinking about this upcoming school year, we are worrying about how this will impact our kid's health and mental health now and in the future because both of those things are equally as important
Because the truth is this school year nothing I choose feels right and the only thing that would feel right is school back to how it was last year before all this came along
