Having watched the news of some of the colleges reopening and then having COVID flare-ups because the college kids just couldn't keep from having welcome back parties makes you wonder just how much learning is going on at some of our institutions of higher learning. I hope the Wolfeboro HS students act with a higher level of maturity and follow their local protocols.

Speaking to public education:
The predictability of adolescent behavior is, at best, fleeting.
I have heard reports (over the years) of 7-12th graders who still pick their noses and eat it- have bm-s and don't flush (do they wash up?)- back-wash into each others water bottles as a joke- feet on chairs (who cares if you've been in the bathroom?)- and an entire assortment of gross behaviors. Most of it is the nature of the beast- we've all been there.
Are the times different?- Of course.
I think our expectations are very high. I hope the Home Leadership we would like to think exists will back us up!
Parents- step up- be role models, please!
