Although we all think that life is going on as normal and covid is behind us, I am guessing that one of the hangovers of covid will be big WLs Schools have learned what a difference a few months can make, and whether it’s covid or something else – visa bans, war, natural disasters --, this is a good backup for them.

I am guessing that few schools in 2020 fully imagined as they released decisions that students were going to get sent home at spring break and weren’t going to be returning for graduation that year. Or that fall 2020 would be so different that huge numbers of students stayed home. The unforeseen happened and it has validated this practice.
