We know. You have a ton of questions as you try to decide if your child will go back to school next month or learn at home.

Will he lose his spot in a magnet program if you choose distance learning? How safe is soccer practice? Will he be suspended for talking his mask off? And how is he supposed to keep his mask on if the air conditioning breaks down?
