Thank you for posting this. My heart goes out to all affected by the huge disasters this year. My grandparents lost everything in the Oakland firestorm of ‘91. We in the East bay all know people who lost everything, and some their relatives/animals. None of the ones I personally know are rich. It’s short hand for the media to call it wine country as it covers a huge area, including many communities of middle and low income, uninsured renters. Also, many low income people have lost their jobs as many businesses are suddenly gone. Thank you Wiley-this is a timely reminder
So true, plus the many hours setting up the learning environment, (classroom) unpacking supplies (if your lucky) making copies, writing parent letters,setting up bulletin boards,attending workshops, etc. But all that prep pays off,so thanks for showing this side of the job:)
