I'm reading lots of "when this is over..." and keep wondering what is encompassed in that phrase and what it means to different people.

Seeing that different things will be over at different times for different people. Some maybe never.

And a disconnect with the severity.

We are only moving forward and there is no place to go back to. This may seem dark(?) at first, but in many contexts hopeful(?). It does help me think with more clarity about values, goals, responsibilities and expectations.

Sorry, just using writing to help me think. Any conclusions are not fully formed yet.

1. Many years ago I heard a story of two students walking around a city with a park bench. When stopped by the police they promptly showed a receipt for their purchase of the bench. This happened over and over until...

2. ...police finally issued an internal statement to not let themselves be bothered by two students with a park bench, as there was no crime happening and they were just wasting police time. So...

3. ...upon noticing that they were not being stopped anymore they alerted their accomplices. The next day students all over the city proceeded to carry park benches and set them all up in an agreed-upon area in one of the central parks. As expected...

4. ...nobody was stopped by police, who were following orders NOT to stop 'two students with a park bench'.

What is the origin of this story and where can I read more?

The fact that the IB programme chose this route is a clear indicator that it is no longer an education you can count on.

The final grades of 170,000 students worldwide were calculated by an undisclosed algorithm(!)
