Happy 9th Day of School! (Emailed on August 12th, 2021)

Good morning from East Cobb! I am following up on the multitude of emails I've sent you since the first day of school on August 2nd, to which I have received zero responses.

Today I was made aware that one of you, I'm looking at your Mr. Banks, HAS been responding to parent emails regarding their mask policy. All with the same message:


Unfortunately for everyone involved, Mr. Banks' responses included a link to a video on www.bitchute.com which justified his viewpoint on the lack of mask mandates. I had not heard of this medical website, so I googled it. And this was at the top of the search:



I actually gasped as the enormity of the situation hit me. The joke I had made in my earlier emails about not listening to your crazy uncle spewing conspiracy theories had missed the mark. David Banks doesn't have a crazy uncle, he IS the crazy uncle. Plot twist, I know.

As I read more about this website, my blood pressure erupted. This website was for videos too extreme for YouTube. Holy Moly! Have you watched YouTube? I have. And some of these professional content creators do the most dangerous and idiotic stunts on there, but even they aren't blocked. So Bitchute must be the dregs of humanity. And THIS is where I find my school board member trolling for medical info regarding the efficacy of masks. This gives me all the warm fuzzies and begs me to ask what else is Mr. Banks reading up on on this website? Cobb County's schoolchildren are a wonderfully diverse group of kids. Their education should not be determined by someone who visits the dark web for hate sites. Digest that as I move along. 

New since the last time I emailed into the echo chamber of the Cobb County School District email server...East Side Elementary called the parents and guardians of their entire fifth grade class and told them to come and get 'em like supper in the South!

The ripple effect of poor leadership includes these children who will now be out of the classroom for the next week or so, which to me highlights the importance of mask wearing: keeping students healthy and learning in the classroom. How is this not your highest priority? (Re-election doesn't count so don't say that aloud). Their parents will now need to be at home with them, as these are ten and eleven year-olds. Some will get sick and continue to spread COVID onward to others in our community. What about their siblings at our middle and high schools?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! Please, I'm really struggling with the inconsistent application of safety protocols. 

Please don't let your pride interfere with basic human decency. It's past time to do the right thing. We've already created significant community viral spread over the past week of this failed science experiment. If none of this implores you to update your mask policy, please think of the exhausted doctors and nurses in our community that will have to come along in our wake and fix this preventable mess. I know you can do it! We will still applaud you for your common sense and bravery, although maybe with a little less enthusiasm as this is getting exhausting. 
I'll be here, anxiously awaiting your response. Just please make sure it doesn't include a link to bitchute.

As always, thank you for reading. And I'll see you at the mask rally later today.

Take Your Yoy to Work Day (or maybe not)

Image
Mr. Yoy asked if I could bring the boys by for dinner and take a look at his new office with all of his pictures professionally hung. I, of course, obliged as I am always looking for something to kill time before bedtime. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRIVE INTO THE HEART OF BUCKHEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR? or WOULD YOU LIKE TO STAY AT HOME FROM THE HOURS OF 4-7PM WHILE YOUR KIDS SLOWLY DRIVE YOU INSANE? This mom would take traffic any day of the week. So we headed off to Terminus. We made pretty good time, by the way, until we hit Piedmont.  What a cluster! We hit up Mr. Yoy's office first.  It looked fantastic!  Big and Little E seated themselves next to the window and ogled the women at the three hotel pools within view. No wonder Mr. Yoy asked for binoculars for Father's Day.  (That was a joke) We walked over to Ru San's for some sushi dinner.  I give them props for blasting their music.  It makes me much more relaxed as there is something l...

Letters to the Superintendent and Cobb County School Board

Image
Hi folks! A quick note from Mrs. Yoy as I know it's been awhile. For those that know me personally, you know that I've been very vocal in unsuccessfully convincing the Cobb County School board to change their COVID policies, which to this day, remain a steaming pile of sh*t. We follow zero health guidelines and figuring out the quarantine policy is akin to solving that math problem from Good Will Hunting. I will be publishing the letters I've sent to the board and Superintendent over the last 18 days of school. I've heard back from my representative, who is lovely, and my pediatric dentist who also serves on the board, but it's been crickets from the voting block of four and the Superintendent, Chris Ragsdale. Apparently, he's too busy pumping iron and self-tanning. Anyway, enjoy. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! (E-mail sent on August 2, 2021) Good morning from East Cobb!

Happy Second Day of School (E-mail sent on August 3, 2021)

Good morning from East Cobb! I am following up on an email I sent yesterday morning, to which I received zero responses.  As a long time resident, I am writing you this morning to plead with you to reconsider the mask policy for Cobb County schools this year. I’ve been speaking with many parents and we are stressed and saddened by the lack of consideration and communication from the board regarding the recent surge of Covid. In case you wanted to know, I can also see the future. And in two weeks when we are all at home, virtual again, with sick kids, teachers, bus drivers and others in quarantine, I will be thinking of you and your total disregard for the health of our children and our families. Look, we all make judgment mistakes. We all have a crazy family member spreading conspiracy theories. But we don’t let these people and/or the internet comments section guide our work decisions. Gosh, I can’t imagine if I let my dad’s view of our inco...
