I don’t like to gossip.
Like, I hate it. And I always feel so guilty after when I partake in it- in any form.
But today it was hard to ignore.
Whispers all over school.
Some saying the same thing,
Some with new information to be passed along.
I tried to walk away.
I tried to turn my ears.
But it was everywhere.
And I wanted to hear more.
Finally we were all able to talk openly about it, which made me feel better.
But nothing came of the conversation.
And now I have to sit and wait to hear
How COVID-19 will affect my school.
You can find me in the clouds... 
GREAT post! We are a lot alike. I hate rumors. I feel like I’m the sound board in the sixth grade wing of the building. I work with twelve women and they all love to share their gripes about the school with me. Unfortunately, I wear two hats. I am a teacher and a school board member where my kids go to school, so I am doubly stressed about the near future of both of my school districts. Honestly, I can’t wait until we have an answer, and I hope that our strategy (closing schools) does work. THANK YOU for sharing.

Your districts did close? Ours seems very against it. I understand both sides, it’s not an easy decision, but I hope whatever gets made will be the right one.
