Day 13.247: Exile #2's Sunday Column #313

Exile #2 writes...


Tomorrow, E5N1 finally gets his chance to go back to school, so today has been the usual scramble to ensure school supplies are loaded up into his backpack, and that his computer is fully charged. This year of course, we have also been busy packing masks and watching the last few instructional videos from school on how to board and use the buses, and how to enter and move around the school. I’m sure it will all be second nature very soon but today it’s been a round of drills on sanitizing and safety.

E5N1 will be part of a class of around 10 students, with a further 10 tuning in from home. The in-person students will be spread out around the classroom, sitting at single desks with plexiglass screens fixed in front. There will be a gazebo outside where they can go to take mask breaks. It’s so extraordinary, but so have been the efforts of all those involved in getting the school ready. We hope, despite everything, that the year is a good one.
