Relearning routine

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a restful long weekend. Now, back to the grind – which, for me, begins standing up. This week, I’ve decided to try a new “standing desk” thing from home, hoping to relieve the neck pain I’ve developed from too much time in my slat-back chair.

After a year and a half of remote work, you’d think I’d have set up a comfortable home office by now. Alas, relearning routine can be tricky – a phenomenon perhaps most experienced within our school system.

In our first story below, writer Shawn Ryan explores the topic, speaking with local teachers, tutors and students about how the pandemic has transformed education.
