Why, yes, it is stressful to send Eaglet off to third grade even though it’s illegal for their school to mandate wearing a facemask — why do you ask?

The funk breaks!!!!!

The claim "all killer, no filler" is 100% grade-A accurate.

45 minutes!

And there are more Japanese funk mixes out there, without having to search too hard!

So worried about kids in school and their families and the staff and their families....

*stess stress stress*

We were REALLY heartened to hear that all of Eaglet's classmates, in both sections*, have been masking. Ditto the teachers for all their specials, at least in the classroom -- some unmask outside, during drop-off/pickup grrr. There's one notorious (as in not very good) teacher who's anti-vax and MAGA all over her social media, who isn't masking at all, but at least Eaglet isn't directly interacting with her.

* They're team taught by two teachers, one in English, the other in Chinese.

That sounds better than it could be, at least.
