On The Winds of Change

I was sitting at my first "Recipe Club" meeting with my BFF, Meeja, and 9 of her other friends when a 3rd grade teacher said how the Jordan School District has layed off 200 of their employees and changed a bunch of schools from 'year-round' to 'traditional'. My ears perked up, and the more she spoke, the more concerned I got for my son's school, his teachers, and the impact this will change on so many lives. So my curiosity was settled when a newsletter came home yesterday saying Kai's school is no longer year-round, but traditional. He starts school Thursday August 26th, and ends Thursday June 2nd. I am a little bummed, but more worried about how this change affects so many other people's livlihoods. Life is hard. I hope the teachers can adapt to these changes.
