Now imagine having had only 5 part-days of school in the past 9 weeks, trying to get in these 3 weeks before winter break. #yanceycounty

Those 3 weeks of school between Thanksgiving and Christmas are the worst three weeks of parenting I do on an annual basis and it’s not even close

Other counties in WNC and across NC are facing the same kinds of attacks.
