A class of 52 students that you don't know? Oh, sk, that sounds hard to deal with. I'm really sorry.

My classes have low caps, thanks to requirements for writing-intensive courses, so I personally cannot complain about class size, but I am still upset about the let's-pretend-it's-not-happening approach. My students are exposed to far more people than I am, so they are being put in unnecessary danger, as are teachers like you with big classes. And, as I said above, the pedagogical fallout from having people drop in and out of class due to sickness, quarantine and (God forbid) bereavement will be hard to predict and mitigate.

I just don't understand how we have gotten to the point that prudent handling of a public health crisis is somehow politically fraught.

(Well, I sort of do understand, but I still despair.)

Thank you Mary Anna. Fingers crossed it all turns out ok!

For all of us!!

Yikes. Best wishes to you all. Sounds like a new book coming? Can’t wait!

Thanks, Jack!

It's essentially in the can, but it still needs to wend its way through the publication process. The pub date is next June.

It'll be a new series, so I'm very excited.

That’s great Mary Anna!!
