Is it me or has the last week or so felt like the most, dare I even say it, normal couple of days since the world was introduced to the coronavirus pandemic?
Let me try to explain. Whether it was Sunday’s big game or the big crowds around our public schools Monday morning, the last 72 hours felt different.
The car lines at schools across Hamilton County were the longest they have been in months and months.
Yes, school leaders have tried to maintain as much normalcy as possible through this abnormal time with floating, hybrid phases of in-person and virtual learning and opt-outs. But at times that has produced a lack of consistency and plenty of frustration.
On Monday, the brake lights and buzz around school building drop-offs were more terrific than traffic.
