It has been a minute, but as a person who also wants to help in the space of #electivehomeeducation, I really hoped a standing leader would have said something, anything.
But I understand we are all catching up.

The limitations are coming in now, so the chickens have decided to go inside.
Hmmmm......

"Cluck! Cluck! Agreed."
So what's the plan?
