Trump doesn't care a thing about the victims of police violence, especially Black Americans. He knows they aren't going to vote for him anyway. But oh, how he loves to give his base reason to hate more. Reason to support him. It's sick and it's sickening.

I think this might become something that more and more people consider. The stress of the way it's being done is far worse than kids missing a year of school. <br />And yes- I do know re: Jacob Blake and that little shit ass kid AND the police who just let him on his merry way.

Too hot, confused, sad. Angry. Just like the stuffing has been knocked out of us. Again and again.<br /><br />As for schooling here--all virtual until at least January 2021--four days a week with classes broken into am or pm pods. DS3 and DiL got an exemption for their just turned five year old to start kindergarten next year. They also have a three yr old and 16 month old and DiL didn't know how she could manage to keep the five year old on task--signing her in and out of virtual classes every 45 minutes for four hours a day. And, it is looking more and more likely that I will be managing the virtual schooling for my DGS--a first grader--as DD isn't sure the daycare setup for schooling will work. Should know by next Friday. If so, he will be dropped at my house four days a week (he is assigned to a.m. virtual classes, with the afternoon for independent work). Setting up his desk and school area for him in my home office. Parents have bought him his own laptop. I will take him home in the afternoon. Have to do what you can. Feel for parents like Lily with multiple children to oversee--and her a working parent.

Walking down the street with an automatic weapon, seeing angry protesters as some kind of enemy - that's the kind of wicked behaviour that Trump's leadership has engendered. Typically, Trump still hasn't said a thing about the attempted assassination of Jacob Blake in front of his children by a wild police officer. In contrast, he has plenty to say about protesters.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-3710605640540169762020-08-26T23:38:51.343-04:002020-08-26T23:38:51.343-04:00That terribly misguided kid thinks he is a boogalo...That terribly misguided kid thinks he is a boogaloo, helping "the cause". I can not even think about Jacob without wanting to magic curse the police all of them, a curse that would last until the day they depart this earth. It all comes form the top, we realize and damn, if he gets reelected, that is the final curtain. <br />Sorry your friend died.<br />The children are wonderful. - Rosemarie is right, Lily should unschool for a year, it will not hurt the kids. John Holt's books are the best for unschooling . A rich environment is all the child needs.

I’m so tired lately, just plain exhausted by it all. Is this real life? But those beautiful grand babies of yours, they’re real and true. I cannot imagine how Lily is managing. I sometimes think the schools should just let kids unschool for a year, do their own investigations, because how on earth is this remote schooling going to work? I think the kids who have siblings at least won’t be as lonely. I feel lost lately and that’s the truth. My hat is off to Lily and my heart goes out to her too. The man and I say all the time how lucky we are not to be homeschooling while trying to hold down jobs. As for Jacob Blake and the 17 year old shooter. Well.

The falling apart was both our fault. So I put a note in a bag, and a couple of towels to go with towels she already has. And they came back to me, unopened. So I guess that's that and some things just don't get fixed. Sad. At least we're all alive, but it's her turn next time.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
