Work has gone well for the first week. Fingers crossed we’ll have a relatively calm classroom. At least not violent. I’ve been told my student sometimes gets internally triggered and starts sobbing and screaming out of nowhere but she’s not aggressive. I can handle raw emotional pain, lots of experience in that area.

She’s actually very sweet, I feel really bad for her because it’s clear she’s not sure what’s real and what’s not. A lot of it due to gaslighting from her family. She really needs to have someone to talk to who won’t judge her it seems. Enter me!

I was ok for most of the day but I just got a notification that there is already a case of covid at my son’s school. Now listen, last year I was nervous but it was like oh well, all we can do is stay as safe as possible. But I am FURIOUS because there was an “unmask the children” protest put on by parents at my son’s school today.

I’m not going to get into it here because I know it’s a push button topic but I am SO ANGRY.

I just hope they release a vaccine for younger children ASAP. I need him to have at least some protection among the selfish morons.
