students have SO checked out. I am really unhappy with how my district decided to proceed. Classes are now credit/no credit, instead of letter grades.

Another thing - just because people do not speak English, does not make them stupider than roadkill. Really??? Pretty sure almost everyone in the world is now familiar with a pandemic. Info is readily available in any language. Racist much?

Fear makes people say/do crazy things. Even people in dire need of medical attention are delaying or refusing to go to hospitals now. I've often had to bite my tongue while trying to be patient/understanding.
1:24 pm
helenkeller

I don't bite my tongue. Also, Molly, just because people don't speak English, doesn't mean they don't understand it, or can't speak it. They just won't do so in front of you - for fear you would laugh at them. This is true for most "non-English" speakers in this country.

They were an5/14ing when they laughed like hy 6/27 and said "You expect us to spend a nice sunny day inside babbling? No5/22! We are spending the day outside in the sunshine. All of my monkeys, except for my most loyal monkey named Je5/24 da4/5ed out the door to go swimming in the po 4/6. I thanked Je 5/24 for staying to help. However she said, "Sorry, I have a hot date with my ho5/16 today. as she drove off in my Ho5/14. I thought "Well ho4/9 that for loyalty?" At the end of the day all of my monkeys returned. They tried to make am4/6s. They apologized for not helping.Was so angry I went on a huge ra 4/4. I told them the only reason why they were trying to made ame5/15 was so I would give them bananas & so 4/5, their daily snack. I told my monkeys to go back outside and put heads in sa 4/5 before I pull out every single st 6/21 of monkey hair. Then they st 4/4ted to cry. They said, "we are so sorry for our tr5/10gression today!" But they could not sw4/10 me to give them bananas.This en4/5 my story. I did not em 5/14 story so there may be some errors.
