Lincoln County Schools to be closed due to ‘increased absences'
On Tuesday, Lincoln County Schools announced that schools would be closed on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 respectively.
The decision to close is due to an 'increase in absences and checkouts this week due to illness, affecting both students and employees.'
You can read the full statement from LCS below.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have observed an increase in absences and checkouts this week due to illness, affecting both students and employees. Today, we noted a significant rise in absences from morning to afternoon.
If your child is sick, we kindly ask that you do not send them to school tomorrow. Lincoln County Schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday (Feb 6 & 7) due to the rise in illness, which has resulted in staffing challenges. We hope that having school tomorrow will provide you with some time to arrange childcare for Thursday and Friday.
Please keep an eye on the social media accounts of your children's schools for updates on events that may be canceled or rescheduled. Notably, the LCHS CTE Open House, Parent/Teacher Conferences, and Transition Fair scheduled for Thursday evening will be rescheduled. However, the Middle School Sectional Tournament games will proceed as planned, as those schedules are determined by TMSAA.
During this closure, our custodial staff will conduct a deep cleaning of all school buildings.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Dr. Bill Heath

This Advice From Economics Might Be The Answer To Your Parenting Burnout. Here's Why.
When my wife and I brought our first child home from the hospital, we planned on diligently following all of the expert recommendations regarding his care: He would breastfeed exclusively and sleep in a bassinet beside our bed, on his back, in a properly ventilated room. We had read about SIDS and would take every possible precaution. What could be more important that preventing harm from coming to our child? Almost immediately, however, we ran into trouble. Our baby stopped peeing. He was dehydrated and hungry, somehow, although he spent pretty much all day at my breast. So we feed him some infant formula using a medicine dropper, which he lapped up hungrily, sending me into a shame spiral that took months of therapy to crawl out of. But at least with the supplementary formula we were able to keep him happily fed. Related: The second problem sent us into a territory that was even more mortifying. In spite of the fact that my breasts were only partially functional, the baby was extremely attached to them. As in, he would only sleep if they were right there, right beside him, skin to skin with his tiny cheek. Every time he feel asleep while nursing and unlatched his little rosebud lips, I moved as stealthily as possible to try to get him into the bassinet. But more often than not, he woke and started crying. And even if I could get him to lie in the bassinet, it often didn't last long. The end result was that I spent a lot of time nursing him in the chair, and, in my desperation and exhaustion, I often fell asleep. My wife could tell, just by looking at us, that this was not a safe situation. Since it wasn't possible to get him into the bassinet, we just cleared our bed of blankets and pillows and let him sleep where he wanted to, right next to my body. We didn't tell anyone. We had been taught that bed-sharing with a baby was deadly, so we certainly weren't going to admit to doing it. This was all back in 2009, before economist Emily Oster began publishing her bestselling books, in which she brings a unique, data-driven perspective to the art of parenting. In her second book, 'Cribsheet,' she explains how holding up the ideal infant sleeping arrangement as the only permissible option can actually lead parents to put their babies in more danger. Because although it is safest to have baby sleep on a separate surface, it is much more dangerous to sleep with a baby on a sofa or armchair. Sixty-seven times more dangerous. Though it wasn't a best-case scenario that the baby wasn't in the bassinet, he was a lot safer sleeping next to me on the mattress instead of in the recliner. Infant sleep, Oster writes, is one example of a scenario in which we might benefit from considering what she calls 'second best' parenting. It is a term she borrows from economics. 'When we are giving advice in parenting, we tend to be absolutist: There is the best option and then everything else,' Oster told HuffPost, She has used the term 'outer darkness' to refer to everything else — as in, if it's not the best option, it's all equally bad and scary. But this all-or-nothing approach doesn't apply well to infant sleep, where we clearly have a first best option (bassinet/crib in same room as parent) followed by a second best option (on a clear, flat sleeping surface next to the nursing parent) and then, way, way down, the 67th best option of a desperate mother accidentally falling asleep in an armchair while holding the baby because she has been told that under no circumstances should she consider bringing the baby into her bed. 'The idea of 'second best' is to recognize that within the category of 'other options,' some are better than others. The second best is the best option that we can achieve,' Oster said. She thinks that this can be a useful framework for other parenting choices, too, such as what to feed our children. 'We're told the best snack for our kids is, say, a whole apple and a glass of water. But what if your kid doesn't eat that? We don't help people pick well among the options their child will eat. You'd be forgiven for thinking that once you're going to applesauce, you might as well give a pile of cookies. But actually those aren't the same.' Believing that there is only one right way and the rest are wrong sets us up to see only black and white when actually there are so many shades of gray. 'When we tell people that it's the 'best or the rest,' we do not allow for them to choose smartly among the rest,' Oster said. In addition to not choosing well, this thinking makes people feel badly about how they're parenting. 'When we tell people they aren't doing their best, that disempowers them. And no one parents well from a place of shame,' Oster added. Finding Other Good Options Beyond Perfect The advantage of referring to 'second best' is that, with the word 'best,' parents are left with space to take pride in their parenting. A silver or bronze medal is still a win, after all. The argument that Oster is making is similar to that of 'good enough parenting,' an idea popularized in the 1950s by Donald Winnicott. Parenting coach Kristene Geering told HuffPost that this is the framework she uses with parents. 'It's based on the notion that there is no such thing as perfect,' Geering explained. 'Part of being human is that there are challenges, there are times when there's no clear or easy path (which is also how we learn). There is no 'best.' You take what information you have, make a decision based on that and then you learn as you go along.' Geering thinks this dovetails nicely with Carol Dweck's 'growth mindset,' in which as we learn more, we do better. Geering said she often tells families that 'we're all doing the best we can with what we have' and advises, 'Learn from your mistakes, repair as you go, and show your children how to hold compassion for yourself and those around you.' She likes the 'good enough' phrasing because it makes room for the idea that there are many different options that might be 'bests' for different families dealing with different circumstances. Geering agrees with Oster that it's important to move parents out the space of 'all is lost,' where they may get trapped in their shame. She said that where she works in Silicon Valley, 'I see a lot of parents fall into this trap of trying to be 'perfect' ... and then researching themselves into a state where they're almost frozen with indecision.' With an endless amount of information readily available, this isn't an uncommon place for parents to land. 'I've fallen into this trap as well,' Geering admitted. 'Things like which school to attend, which activity to sign up for... it's really overwhelming.' Make Peace With Your 'Good Enough' Using a 'second best' or 'good enough' mindset doesn't come naturally to people raised in a culture of competition. But sooner or later, all parents are faced with a scenario that challenges expectations of perfection. For Geering, a clear example of this in her own family was pandemic schooling. 'I watched my own kids struggle on 'Zoom school,' to the point where it was clear this would never work for them. So I pulled them, and we did homeschool for a year... while my husband and I both worked full time. Was it perfect? Nope. Was it 'second best'? I have no idea.' Her kids are 'still catching up on math,' she said, although they also 'gained a lot of skills in independence.' 'Instead of beating myself up on all the math they missed out on, I looked at it from the point of view that I was doing the best I could in really awful circumstances. And I looked at all the moms in my friend groups and the parents I was working with, and I saw everyone making different decisions, based on their specific circumstances. Absolutely no one did the 'best' thing... because there was no 'best' thing.' Whether you think of it as 'second best' or 'good enough,' parenting within this framework, as opposed to one in which there is only one right option for all families, makes room for you to give yourself some grace. An added benefit of letting go of a perfection-or-nothing mindset is the weight that this takes off of our kids. If we 'show them how to repair the relationship when we mess up and share our learning process with them,' Geering said, 'it lets them be compassionate with themselves, learn from their mistakes, create authentic and meaningful relationships with others, and have a growth mindset as their default throughout life. That's pretty powerful stuff.' Related... Parents Are Lying About Where Their Babies Sleep At Night. Here's Why That's A Problem.

My Son And I Were Turned Away From Ikea's Play Area For A Disturbing Reason. Here's What They Don't Understand.
In late June, a few days before Disability Pride Month began, I took my 7-year-old child on an outing to an Ikea store. As I filled out a waiver so he could enter the store's small play area, I noticed I was the only parent present. It turned out that parents typically drop off their children while they shop, but that wasn't an option for me. My son has a rare, severe form of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome, among other medical conditions, and he can't be without a grown-up carrying his seizure rescue medication, as I was. The scary reality is that around one in five children with Dravet syndrome die in childhood because the seizures can be so severe. There is currently no cure. I explained this to a staff member and told her that I'd need to be in the room with my child. She informed me that no parents were allowed into the play area. 'But isn't there a policy for kids with disabilities?' I asked. She told me a service dog could accompany a child, but a parent could not. I stopped signing the form. I said to the staff member, 'That's discrimination against kids with disabilities.' She didn't respond. I hadn't known about the store's play area before this visit, and I had been happy to see that it wasn't a playground ― just a space with toys like a train set and dart board. Since my son had a seizure at an indoor playground a year ago, I'd stopped taking him to them. But now, even this play space was not an option for him. My child and I were both upset. He loves going to Ikea to walk through the showroom and eat in the cafeteria ― a place open enough that it was the only indoor restaurant he ate in during our four years of masking during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have several Ikea furniture items, including bunk beds, a coat/shoe cubby and a toy chest. He helped us build them all. Since his severe seizures began about two years ago, he's had to change his life in significant ways. Heat, sports, just running around to play, illness and excitement have all become triggers for him. Summer is especially hard — on hot days, he can't be outside. In fact, we had driven the hour to Ikea in traffic just so he could walk and have a change of scenery in a large, air-conditioned space because the temperature outside was dangerous for him. I told him, 'This isn't OK.' He said, 'We should talk to someone.' I was proud of him. After talking to a few staff members, we spoke with a manager, who said he wasn't familiar with the policy, and he'd get back to me the next day. He didn't. Later, I looked online, and there was a section on the Ikea website directing caretakers of children with disabilities to start a conversation with the Ikea store manager about how the child can best have their needs accommodated in the play area. I was hopeful that when we went in the future, we could show the policy to the staff. However, that doesn't undo the pain my child felt after hearing that he wasn't welcome in that play space because of his disabilities. During the hour-long car ride home afterward, we talked a lot about discrimination. I reinforced that what happened wasn't OK, and that the more than 3 million kids with disabilities in our country deserve to be included. I told him about my older sister, his late aunt, who had microcephaly and faced various barriers to equal access too, like having to sit on the sidelines of playgrounds in her wheelchair. It upset me. When I was 10 in 1993, I read about new accessible playgrounds in an issue of Scholastic News, and I hoped we could build one for her. Sadly, she died a few weeks later, but in her memory, my family and I worked with the Cincinnati Parks Department to build an accessible playground. My son thought that was cool. I also explained that many groups of people face discrimination for reasons such as gender, race, sexual orientation, immigration status and more, and we need to be allies and stand up against all forms of discrimination. I also told him that one way to help is to make disabilities more visible and raise awareness, as we have done in his school class for the past three years. This June, for Dravet Syndrome Awareness Month, he and I held a neighborhood lemonade and cupcake fundraiser and donated money to the Dravet Syndrome Foundation, which helps fund the kind of critical epilepsy research that the Trump administration has recently cut. After our experience at Ikea, as one of his bedtime books, we re-read the picture book All the Way to the Top, about a child who protested and helped advocate for the Americans with Disabilities Act, which passed 35 years ago. Afterward, I told him about children with disabilities who went to Congress this summer, asking their leaders not to make it harder for them to go to the doctor and get the medicine and treatment they need. Unfortunately, President Donald Trump's domestic policy bill has since passed, and many people, including children with disabilities, will be harmed as a result. Two days after the bill passed, my child woke up and said, 'I want to make a sign about disabilities.' He asked for my help with spelling before writing the words 'People with disabilities are important' in pencil and then tracing over them with marker. He stood by our Disability Pride yard sign, and then, since the temperature was cooler out, he walked down our street and held it up for cars passing by. He said that when he grows up, he wants to be an 'activist' and 'protester.' I told him that he already is. [Editor's Note: HuffPost reached out for a response, and Ikea US issued the following statement: 'At IKEA, we strive to offer a safe and inclusive environment for children to play while in our stores. Our Småland policies are in place to keep children safe when they are in our space. Regarding this family's recent experience in our College Park, MD store, we are incredibly sensitive to feelings of exclusion, and so we have shared information with the family about our accommodations process, so that they may have a more positive experience at IKEA. We are constantly working to improve how we create an inclusive space while maintaining policies that keep all children safe.'] This article originally appeared on HuffPost in July 2025 and was updated in August 2025.
