Unknown- things we either prepare for or don't. The more we plan ahead, the more we can pivot and adjust to circumstances out of our control. These days we are in a constant state of flux. Not sure which students will be sent home to be tested, go asynchronous, or who will be entering our classrooms.
It seems like a giant flow of unknown- like we are living in smoke and mirrors. Where we can't ever feel in sync- grand illusions keeping us guessing. But as educators we are used to this level of masterful distraction. We are used to aerial views and then blurry close-ups. We are never quite settled.
These days every door, every desk, every class period is like taking a step into the unknown- we can't even organize fully because as we track the scene- it is forever blending and fading into another. Like a giant movie screen displaying all the movies of our year at once. But, we pause the film, we try our best to unscramble the trickery.
This is why we are educators- we are quick on our feet. But, man this year has been hard. This has been exhausting. But, there is hope. There is a vacation ahead, and hopefully imminent upgrades. Imminent calm is around the corner.
