Contributed commentary from Carl Wilson: Last August, my wife, Rita, and I agreed to serve as virtual mentors for our 9-year-old grandson, Jack. Jack would be entering third grade at Woodlawn Elementary School after a summer move to the Woodlawn community. After several discussions with our daughter and son-in-law, and given the status of COVID-19 infections, we collectively agreed that “virtual school” would be best for Jack. Little did we know about the challenges the school year would bring. School year 2020-21 has been an enlightening experience. Daily involvement with the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System and the dedicated staff of professionals has given us a greater appreciation for the work they do for our kids and, ultimately, for our communities.
