This book was published as an afterthought but is based on a compilation of journal entries of a veteran high school principal working through the Coronavirus Pandemic... I made the decision while venting to my wife that this would be my last year in education (making a total of 32 years). I also decided that I would write this journal and make entries as often as I felt the need to reflect on experiences that unfolded for that day, or, just VENT... So, the journal took a life of its own and soon became more than just 'therapy' to get me through the year. After trends became apparent regarding student behavior and 'rock star' teachers feeling more overwhelmed than I had ever witnessed, it seemed that this journal may actually have a higher purpose than to simply provide me therapy. After tragic events had taken place at Apollo HS, after continued concerns with student absenteeism and the trouble we were having with our youngest students engaging in learning, I reached out to some of my most trusted educator confidants for advice and I sent them the 1st quarter journal entries to read.
