Back-to-school sales have a whole new meaning in the era of COVID-19.
This is the Aug. 9 edition of the 8 to 3 newsletter about school, kids and parenting.
“I’m quite literally trying to wrap my head around how we’re going to do this, we working mamas of tiny little babies,” said fellow incoming-kindergarten mom Xóchitl Flores-Marcial, a history professor at Cal State Northridge. “Under normal circumstances, there’s the excitement of shopping for back to school, and going to the store and collecting your crayons or backpack. But right now, we have to think differently.
But I also recognize the necessity. There is a longstanding phenomenon of teachers spending out of pocket for school supplies each fall. And because most local studentsgo back to campus this month — many for the first time in a year and a half — the need is extra pressing. Nor are personal items like masks and water bottles the only things students will need for themselves this year. Many of the supplies we think of as standard, such as counting bears, glue sticks or Mr. Sketch markers, must now be individual.
