And on the 18thday, Principal Luckner decreed that school would reopen.
And it did reopen and it was good.
And most of the students and all the teachers showed up for class.
And it was quiet on the compound and Karen, Joan and Keith went back to the business at hand.
And life was normal again.
It has been quiet the past couple of days. We are not sure if it is the calm before another storm or the return of sanity. The reality is that none of the underlying problems at the root of the demonstrations have been addressed so the country is still a tinderbox.

At lunchtime some of the kids asked what the activity was this afternoon. I told them to meet me at the playroom at 2:30. Today’s activity is homework! They have missed 12 days of school and exams are next month.
Stay tuned…..
