LEARNING IS HARD

Here in metroparkcentralis they are closing some of the schools on account of flu outbreaks. I laughed when I heard this because it sure sounds like the people in charge of educating don't ever learn anything. As I was thinking what a disaster the schools reaction to the covid was I thought back to my days long ago when we were still either rushing out of the class to take up positions along the walls for an atomic bomb nearby or hiding under our desks for the same kind of attack and it occurs to me now that I never questioned that if by some wonderful fluke we survived the bomb, school would resume the next day and teachers would demand to know why you didn't turn in your homework.

On the other hand, my aged parents were hit with the NORO virus last week while my sister was visiting them. It evidently slashed its way throughout their complex laying low many of the retired folks living there.
