What's this?

If you have a 12/13 yr old, it's not unreasonable for them to be at home

doing school during the day. But yeah, like the parents of a 4th grader who both have to work? I'm not sure.

I feel AWFUL for the Fr/So/Jrs who were looking to make a name for themselves on the football field this fall. There's a lot of development that happens in that time, and they could be missed on many scouting reports.

(also the seniors again, but that goes without saying)
