So ... if a recent poll saying over 80% of the country support the government's actions during this crisis is true, why do our media find all the stories from the less than 20% who just want to complain?

I sent the following out to the parents and caregivers in my class today, including this picture I posted earlier this morning.
Hi there families,
The attached picture is floating around in teaching circles and I am attaching it to this message for a reason.
Well said. First morning of schools back, how many parents are already struggling to juggle their own family needs, their job or lack of, and now answer a myriad of questions about math, reading writing and science. We as teachers just want to know how your getting on!
"Just by showing up, by checking in, by caring enough to do this impossible job - you’ve already taught them the only things I really wanted them to get out of school"

Love this, sent by a mate:
"Your parents were called on to fight world wars, you are being called on to wash your hands and sit on the couch. Don’t fuck this up."
Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael.
Beautiful reminder that we are connected: what happens on one side impacts the other.
