It was a day marked with the arrival of the big yellow buses lumbering down the street and stopping at the corner, where a parade of scrubbed schoolchildren with shiny new backpacks would step into them — and be whisked off to their new lives.
That has all changed this year with the decision to hold virtual classes only in Fairfax County. There's little glee and relief for parents, who are trying to make their children sit still for six hours of online education. And there are no big yellow buses plying the neighborhood streets. Caption them ... "all dressed up — and nowhere to go."
