I'm with you - I'm in a state and school district that's taking it more seriously than most, but I do still worry.

However, homeschooling or virtual learning just isn't an option for us this year. Not due to me being lazy and wanting to pawn off my kid like so many people are quick to assume, which is getting really old.

I'm hoping that vaccine is approved for their age range soon, having to chose between a rock and hard place is never fun.
