Tell me about it. The trust that runs my son’s school feel like emotionless robots. The letters coming from them make me want to pull him out. Meanwhile, my daughter was going to go back this morning — she is right in the middle of her main art piece for her exam and is eager to get back to it. But she did another test yesterday evening and it was positive. Never mind me, she couldn’t live with the guilt of giving people covid just before the holidays — especially given that they all have only 5 weeks now until their main exams begin, and they have already missed so much.

At least their non-rules now mean that they wouldn’t stop her from coming in just to pick up her artwork so she can work on it at home. But it is crazy!
