Teachers, principals and superintendents dedicate their lives to educate, care for, and advocate for children and families. If you know an educator, or have genuinely checked in with one recently, you already know that they are experiencing the absolute most difficult period in their professional lives.
In many cases, they are risking the health and safety of their own families, without receiving any sort of hazard pay. It has become clear to me that some people believe school buildings to be magical spaces in which this highly contagious, novel coronavirus with no cure is unable to penetrate. (Take a minute and decide whether that make sense.)
