I have to hand it to Match for their witty interpretation of dating this year as Satan and 2020 get matched on the app and have a wonderful date stealing toilet paper, exercising in empty gyms and watching a movie. If you can’t laugh about this year, well, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

In related news, we release a timely podcast today where we talk student debt, college choices, higher education and the future of tuition with my guest Betsy Mayotte. If you have a kid headed for college in the next few years, have one there now, or are curious about the impact of student loan forgiveness, you aren’t going to want to miss it. 2020 has changed my perception of college forever, and I imagine it has for others, too.

And finally, I had a wonderful chat with a hockey mom from the other team yesterday, as we watched our son’s crosscheck each other in the corner, fighting for the puck. Like in many other places, their schools in Kentucky were closed in person. A teacher they loved had moved back to Cali this year to teach only to find… well, you know.

So this entrepreneurial teacher started a school. She has 30 kids, coming in groups of 5, and picked up this mom’s two from KY online. Accountable, no unions, better paying for the teacher.

Education inevitably will be forever changed.  I am not certain we know exactly how, but it will.  Like so many other things post-2020… and at some point we will be forced to recognize this fact honestly.
