To the Editor:
I have been an educator for over 15 years and have worked in the Haverhill schools since 2013. No one can deny that this pandemic has caused strain in every single aspect of our lives. However, the behavior being exhibited by stakeholders regarding reopening the schools has been downright embarrassing. The education and future of our children should not be a political issue but it has been one since discussions about reopening began during the summer months. We all know how that turned out – shoes on the steps of City Hall and coffins off to the side, horrifying parents and their children alike.
