I would describe myself as an intellectual. Not in a snooty way or anything, but just that I truly enjoy learning new things, diving deep into topics and not just learning them in surficial way, questioning things, etc. I rarely sit around and do nothing; I am always engaged in something that brings me joy, and to me joy = learning.

After being broken up now for 14 months - I think I still love my ex. We were together 6 years, and never fought. I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again. Then my ex texted me today to let me know he and his new fiancé are moving to (cont. below)…

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
