Honestly it has relieved much of my anxiety about him being back in the classroom. He teaches second grade level special ed. There are two paras and a teacher in the classroom and right now he has 4 kids that attend regularly..They all have pretty serious challenges. He's doing 4 half days in the AM and then rushes home to do an hour of on line 5 days.... It's rough for him. Most of the kids won't keep their masks on so they have to wear protective gear, KN95s and shields. There is just too much hands on with these kids to be safe without the extra protection. I was able to get us both into the vaccines early here as I am medically compromised and since I need him to live independently and he has some health issued I was able to squeak him into a higher priority level. Thankful to my medical provider for helping with that. That second shot tomorrow morning is like gold to me.
