Why the Unvaccinated Should Not Expect Apologies

-

Unvaxxed and waiting for an apology? Don’t hold your breath…


I’m starting to see the negative comments online:

“The vaccinated should just apologize for how they made us feel”
Or
“I refuse to be friends with them until they apologize for their actions towards us during the pandemic”
Or
“Why can’t they just admit they were wrong after all the truth that’s coming out?”

All loaded questions, with tons of legitimate emotions to support them, on both sides.

Human pride is alive and kicking, and expectation is the root of disappointment. Keep in mind that the Covid Pandemic was not your typical holiday dinner topic...

The Covid Propaganda machine was a trillion dollar psychological operation, which psychologists today label as Mass-Formation Psychosis, or keeping in line with a “mob/herd” mentality.

This event was unlike anything you or your grandparents had ever witnessed. Our global population experienced one of the most divisive psychological operations in the history of mankind. If one can comprehend this, maybe we can have some grace for those that had differing ideas…

The unvaccinated people whom I know, were disinvited from weddings, family reunions, and workplace socials.

The unvaccinated were shunned from their families, their jobs, and their social lives. The unvaccinated were kicked out of establishments, made to wait in lines longer than others, and blacklisted off media platforms for speaking their minds…
                        
Memoirs are being written. People are telling their stories as we speak. The atrocities that both sides faced in love and relationships are being told in different languages across the world. These stories cannot be manipulated or shut down by anyone, anymore.

As time goes by, the realization that we were all duped in one way or another from the weakness of our human pride becomes apparent. Take this time to consider being the “bigger person.” Have grace for those who did not understand the complexities behind the scenes until now. We are not perfect.

Don’t expect any apologies. Instead, expect us all to find congruence in the significant “Global Trauma Bond” that we ALL experienced only a few short years ago.

Forgive the confusion and the madness of society which had no choice but to survive a pandemic without clear guidance.

We are all survivors. Go forth with great vigor. 



My memoir Unvaxxed and Unhinged: Surviving the Pandemic as a Public Schoolteacher will be released in December.

Teacher Shortages - The “B” Word and Low Salaries

-

A survey conducted by the nonprofit research organization NORC at the University of Chicago , found that fewer than 1 in 5 Americans would encourage a young person to become a K-12 teacher. “B” is for Burnout. If you say this as a teacher, it’s almost as bad as saying the “D” word during a marriage… almost taboo to say, not to mention putting a negative outlook on the job one is trying to do as an educator. Unfortunately, I have said it myself, and it is a word being turned into a reason why many don’t want to return to the classroom.  Have you ever taught a post-pandemic classroom of unhinged five-year-olds that have had no social experience because preschools were closed during their toddlerhood? Elementary teachers are stressed to the brim, running around like mad chickens due to a lack of support staff and aides. The education sector has been unsteady the past few years, with principals scrambling to assign emergency licenses to educators outside of their subject area, or to th...

Difficulties in Asynchronous and Online Learning for Young Minds

According to a recent article from CeoWorld, there are a few factors contributing to the demise of the education sector currently.  Remote learning and digital classes have come into play quickly, and many teachers and students do not possess the skills necessary to navigate this platform.  The stress and change has caused many teachers to quit, and students are dropping out of public school, turning to homeschool or online learning academies.  A good chunk of our public students have already "dropped out" of school.  I know parents that have relished in the fact that they get to homeschool their girls. They get to travel all over the country while successfully checking in for classes online. Everybody is happy, they get to enjoy family time, and the kids get to experience the real-world. It's like field trips, but all of the time. "Not all classrooms have four walls." Remote learning and digital classes, while convenient for adults, are not so convenient for ch...

Zombie Scrolling or Doomscrolling: Who Will You Be 30,000 Hours From Today?

-

"The same person who could be building an empire is losing to a 6.3 inch screen." "Zombie scrolling" is being on the internet with no specific intent. Simply stated, this is to insinuate the relative impact of "wasting time" perusing the internet. While one person is busy building their wealth, business, knowledge, or "empire," another could easily be watching Mukbang or ASMR videos all day on TikTok. Not to say that it is highly entertaining to watch a petite lady eat entire gallons of ramen, or to watch a pretty pair of 3-inch glittery pink acrylic nails squish colorful slime all day. Competitive eating has been around for decades, and I myself love listening to nails tapping on a keyboard.  But, what exactly are we spending our precious time on? Is there a limit to how much we should let our children scroll? These are not new questions. Parents and educators have been on this topic since television screens became available to the public nearly...
