Post-Corona Recovery

Now that the worst is behind us (fingers crossed), I think that in some ways the pandemic was a blessing. We (both teachers and students) appreciate every old thing we used to take for granted as we get it back. Being able to move the desks into groups, sitting right next to someone, working with students in person, attending whole-school masses, were givens and we didn't even think about them until we lost them. Now everything old is new again. And while the students are taking it all in stride, to us teachers every day of normalcy is a gift which we may never again take for granted. So thank you, Coronavirus, for awakening in us a new spirit of gratitude and a child-like revelry in each new day! We will be better teachers and better humans for it!
