I asked my priest what he thought of the Catholic schools and he says its no way a guarantee of anything and that the Catholic schools are just as infiltrated as the public schools. Are you experiencing this where you are? Or have they done a pretty good job teaching the faith and steering away from the relativist propaganda?
It's our first year, due to covid. I'll say it's definitely an improvement over public school, but there are moments where I catch things that are a little off and then we have a discussion about it. The worst was when my 6th grade daughter's teacher was insisting that the CDC guidelines stated that she wear a mask at home. I went straight to the principal on that one.
Many Catholics agree with you on this! Thing is, we don't have to listen to the Pope when he speaks off the chair. Only statements on dogma and something else are infallible.
The first type of definition is by a Pope alone when he speaks “ex cathedra”—”from the chair” of Peter—that is, when “acting in the office of shepherd and teacher of all Christians, he defines, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, a doctrine concerning faith and morals to be held by the universal Church.”
Everything else is up for us to decide on personally. So we have this Pope that says the proper things officially from the Chair as he is called to do, but then he's out shaking hands with pagans and liberals and blah blah. Add to that the pedophile scandals. It isn't a good look AT ALL....BUUUUUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER who is telling you these things? About the church? It's the Kinsey guys who masturbated infants who are telling you what to think on the MSM.
There's like 11 or 12 episodes on the Jesuits alone, context, etc. He also goes over what I said above about the pedo thing and psychology in America today, the roots of it, etc.
Freemasonry and Catholicism are antithetical to one another. Catholicism 101 says Communism is a no-go. The Ten Commandments cover this. "Thou shalt not steal." Well to steal from another, one would have to posses an item, aka, private property.
The #1 enemy of Freemasonry is Catholicism. Many Catholics are aware that the highest seat in the church appears to be infiltrated and there is a long history of this happening in the church. Satan wants us to throw the baby out with the bathwater and write off Catholicism, when in reality, the Relativist/Hermetic/Rosicrusian/Freemasonic/Dualistic/Gnostic/New Age Golem is causing the constant revolution inside the church and society.
This is what Alex Mossad Media Matrix Jones will never tell you.

Infiltrated and corrupted. In 1934 the world was a very different place. 80+ years later the Jesuits are fully aligned with communism, liberation theology, social justice, and pedophilia. Once an institution is fully corrupt, it no longer matters what they were founded on.
In 1934, the Society of Jesus was asked to respond at global and regional levels to the increasing threat of world Communism. In North America, the Jesuits initiated plans to meet the twin threats of Communism and atheism. Between 1934 and 1939, two separate streams of Jesuit anti-Communism began to emerge. The first was a macro-style vision grounded in social reconstruction, which the Jesuits called “Establishing a Christian Social Order,” known colloquially as the “xo” program. The other plan was put forward as early as 1934, and elaborated in July 1936 at the Jesuit meeting in West Baden, Indiana, by the writer and editor John LaFarge. LaFarge’s plan, known as the United Front, has never been evaluated by historians. It was a localized program of reactive initiatives meant to meet the gains of the cpusa with effective Catholic counter-Communist public attacks. LaFarge aimed to recruit students, pastors, and fellow Jesuits to see to it that cpusa gains in labor, culture, education, government, and churches were met with equal and effective public counterattacks. In 1937, the publication of the papal encyclical Divini redemptoris signaled that social reconstruction could become a part of authentic Catholic anti-Communism, indicating the eclipse of LaFarge’s United Front. After 1939, when the Jesuit general Włodzimierz Ledóchowski called for an adoption of the “positive message” of social reconstruction as the dominant means of Jesuit anti-Communism, LaFarge’s more bumptious and militaristic plan began to fade for good. This article chronicles the heretofore unknown struggle between these two antipodes.

People thought I was crazy (even my husband for a bit) for wanting to homeschool my kids. 2020 opened their eyes and 2021 made them appreciate my foresight.
These sick people are attacking our kids with falsehoods about our world.
if we give intentionally vague answers they can tell we're trying to dodge them, but if we give them realistic nonsense, they can't tell it apart from the real answers. now all the information they collected is useless
Agreed! Our kiddos are going to one of the two private schools by us. My parents did the same with me but they moved me to public school for high school. The move helped expose me more of the liberal ideology before University, but I already had a good head on my shoulders at that point and didn't believe the lies.
I want to be able to review the entire curriculum. Homeschooling may be the only way - but both my wife and I have good careers.. definitely have some big decisions to make.
Teacher here: 1) coach your kids to never share personal data about your family. 2) Let your child’s teacher know you want to keep assignments from being too personal. 3) Define what personal means for your child and teacher (kids write about themselves because it is a topic they know well.
Background: When I was working in ELA (social studies and math now), I always had children write about themselves, and their memories. Being a (father, Christian,good citizen) I defined personal for children, and explained to parents what the focus of the writing assignments were. I encouraged parents to help their children rehearse good events, as well as defining what should not be shared.
Blush - thank you. I was made by God to be a teacher. I worked many jobs until I started teaching at 40 ish years old( careful not to Dox myself). I am calm when kids are not, I avoid most power struggles, and am blessed to see my students grow every year. I just can’t take responsibility for this, God made me this way :)
Now I must ask - what is the best suggestion you would have for self therapy based upon diet? Being big is something my family has in the genes (Uncle was 700+, Dad was 500, I’m 380).
I do take responsibility for my weight, if I didn’t eat it, it wouldn’t be in my body. With that said I also believe there is something in processed food which is addictive (quitting smoking is way easier than loosing weight). Any links or suggestions are much appreciated.
Eliminate wheat flour 100%. Modern wheat is not the same plant as the wheat we had 100 years ago.
A keto diet will help you lose weight. It will satisfy your hunger, so you won't need to eat as much.
If you're able, exercise some.
Stop carbonated beverages of any kind, soft drinks, beer, champagne. The bubbles blow up your stomach and make you want more food. Drink water or unsweet tea.
Check out the carnivore or keto diet. Basically high protein fat, low carbs. Also cut out the sugar and sugary drinks. Drink water. Also take 1 multi vitamin per day. And up to 5g of vitamin D and C per day.
I do not unfortunately. I just know that some people have been having success losing weight with it. Maybe just Google it and watch some YouTube videos about it.
I totally agree with carnivore. It changed my life. I went from having add. Psoriasis. And arthritis.... to being lean, with minimal add symptoms, clear skin after 23 years of suffering.. and no arthritis pain.... And I lost weight.
In highly recommend you try it for a month. Just don't forget electrolytes
Thank you! I am getting so much great advice! I am happy you are sharing your struggle, and sorry you have it.
Brain damage- lol - I have told my doctor (many times), that it feels like something is broken. I am always ready to eat, and never feel full (I’m either ready to eat, or thing about eating). Brain damage describes it well. There are a lot of ways for me to start. Thank you!
Good for you for changing your family tree and living out your best life!!
I have learned a few things from quitting bad habits like porn/alcohol/smoking. It's about moderation. Don't set out in the beginning to completely eradicate your bad habits as that usually ends in disappointment when you fail. It's much better to learn how your bad habits effect you and what you would look like with/without them. A book that is geared towards alcohol, but will also give you a framework to think about other problems/habits is "The easy way to stop drinking" by Allen Carr. Helped me with a lot of other issues by giving myself a framework for looking at why I did the things that I did.
It's also about small incremental progress that leads to a compounding effect. Changing just a few things leads to a compound effect that changes many other areas. So tackle small reasonable goals first.
You are right about processed food having lots of addictive qualities. Not only that, but it unnecessarily keeps weight on - lots of it water weight. Sodium is a big one to thank for this. A great book to look at is "Lies my doctor told me" by Ken Berry. You are a critical thinker or else you wouldn't be on this forum, so you can read that and do more research on how those things impact your body.
You can absolutely lose weight without exercising. It's all about the food you eat and how your body reacts to processed foods, sugars, sodium, grains, etc. The difference is that you will want to exercise because your energy level increases as you start eating a healthier diet and your body starts burning fat.
Lots of people do a carnivore or keto style eating with lots of success as it gets rid of a lot of the empty carbs that overloads our systems. I do fasting/carnivore for the most part and I really like it, but I am just one voice on the internet. Try out different things to see how your body reacts as mine will be different than yours. Don't do something if it isn't working just to achieve some result.
Good luck and just take things a step at a time an realize you aren't eating a certain way to go on a diet, you are eating a certain way because you love yourself and want to be healthy. Advise yourself as if you are advising your school kids, with as much hope and as much recognition of potential as you see in them.
I am eager to do some reading. Thank you for your thoughtful post. I am going to start treating myself better today (I really like that thought - because I love myself). This is a viewpoint I needed. Thank you again.
Absolutely! I know what it is like to go through some of that. All starts with seeing yourself how God sees you - worth every minute for a perfect creation and adapting your habits to match that.
fellow teacher here:) never been real big, so cant tell you how to lose, but this is how I maintain a low weight. I try to eat alone as much as possible, and pay attention to every bite. Also read about where your food comes from... a book called Eating Animals really turned me off to commercial meat products and big corporations controlling what we eat.
hard to enjoy fast food knowing how the animals were treated..eat local if possible.
Thank you for the suggestion. I actually don’t eat much meat (Keto will be hard for me). I know, someone who is fat that doesn’t eat much meat (like none since Christmas meal). I’m thinking the wheat could be it. Another user suggested wheat, and I realized I really eat a lot of bread, more so than sweets.
yeah bread is a tough for me too, especially french bread, but I feel better when I can stay away from it. been easier with Covid because I never actually go in the store...avoid the temptation.
I've seen several Christian eating plans out there to change how you think about food, and incorporate prayer/fasting. might be worth a look:)
Can you explain "good events?" are you saying that you taught them to rehearse events in the right way without personal information or are you talking about a positive event to orient to positivity. Just to clarify.
I tell my students that the best personal stories are the ones that allow the readers to learn the best things about them, and their families. I try to have them pick good emotion stories, where their writing makes others happy as well. On the caution side, I start by saying I wear sweat pants, and a T shirt when I get home. Many times my clothes are stained because I work around the house, or drop food on them (hence a good reason to change). I never want my children to tell people about my stained clothes because it would make me feel embarrassed. Any story they share should always be stories that do not embarrass family, and friends.
I ask students to read their stories to their parents first; so, they know exactly what is written, and can also help remember more details (and parents can also say... don’t share that). Finally, I let students know that I share their writing with their parents.
Finally - (I worked with 2nd - 4th graders for 6 years), I let students know that it can help to write about things that make them feel sad, but if they are private, they should not bring them, or write them in school. By law, I must report any story where children might be abused. I try hard not to put students in the situation where a story can break their family apart. Truthfully, if I believe a student is being abused, I hand off that issue to the Principle, or the guidance counselor. If abuse is involved, I am not specialized enough to ask the right questions (I have read it is possible to implant memories, as well as put suggestions into a child’s mind.)
Here is my limited experience from working with other teachers - some are nosey, some are looking for danger around every corner, one has an agenda (that I do not agree with); however , most are caring.
Agenda teacher - not much I can do here, but carefully advise parents (not being able to come out and say it), but I say things like ,”she does a good job teaching social issues like ...”. I have also shared with parents what books are being read in the rooms. Enough parents push back on the agenda where I feel less agenda is caught... I hate I can’t do more.
BTW - if a different teacher than your child’s teacher ever talks to you in the hallway, and makes some off the cuff comments that make you wonder, ask more questions. That teacher probably went out of their way to both let you know, and find out if you agree with the agenda...
What insight you have. Your students are truly lucky to have someone teaching them that cares so much. Many teachers these days parrot Marxist talking points and don’t know the impact they are having. Those students may not always appreciate what you are doing right now, but it will always stay with them. “Teach them while they are young and they will surely return to it” (paraphrasing but it is very true)
My wife doesn't like to talk politics, so sometimes I gently spoke to my grade school daughter about it. (Of course, gentle for me is not the same as gentle for everyone else).
At one point she said: "Daddy, you talk to me about politics but I really don't understand what you're talking about."
I pulled Animal Farm off the shelf and read it to her. Gently. (for me). Did the voices. Paused to explain things. I think she got it. Well.... some of it, anyway.
I don't know if that was the best approach. But now when she asks why I disagree with grandma and grandpa, I can say: "Grandma and Grandpa believe everything Squealer tells them."
I actually never read Hunger Games or seen the movies....
Brave New World... eh... she's too young for the sex parts. Same reason I'm not jumping into 1984.
Lately she's been burning through the Encyclopedia Brown books I got for her. Finishes a book in like an hour.
When I read her little sister my favorite Dr. Seuss book -- the little known "Trouble to Salla Sallew" (something like that) I gave her a little quiz. "Hey, that guy is making the main character pull the cart by himself, saying the MC will provide the muscle and the old guy will provide the brains! What does that remind you of?"
Oh, she saw Studio Ghibli's "Howl's moving castle." She and her little sister love them. I love the Studio Ghibli movies myself. Japanese animation, generally very child-friendly, many of the movies without a real antagonist.
She liked a Nancy Drew so I bought more of them.
I started telling her the story of my favorite Agatha Christie "And then there were none." But I was getting into the bad things the suspects did that put them on the killer's hit list, and she started getting scared and my wife gave me that look of "why the hell are you telling her this?"
Going back to what I said about "Gentle."
Oh, Studio Ghibli had Rojna the Robber's Daughter as a series. I bought her the book. And learned the author also wrote Pippi Longstocking, so I got her some of those books too. She loved them.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown as a kid. That's how I learned what ambergris (whale puke) was. Also the Great Brain books. Learned a lot about Mormons that way.
Thanks for sharing. I wish I was raised by your parenting style. My parents suspected a lot of the Marxist bullshit, but were ultimately too lazy and bluepilled to be good parents.
Very interesting. Thank you so much for the detailed response!
I initially thought the part about using charm to get what you want was a little off, but then I remembered a saying from my culture that my Mom always brought up, "a tender calf sucks two cows", and realized that part is very important.
My parents never swore, but they never said anything about it either. I saw the f-word carved into a school bus seat and asked the driver what it meant. He told me I didn't need to know. So I wasn't exposed to cussing much until college. It has never occurred to me that I should cuss, as there are so many other choice words. My mother said her doctor could burn up nurses' ears and never say a bad word. I think you can cut someone down without those few words that have been labeled vulgar. They are just words, but I just don't use them.
What state are you in? Where/who have you heard this from? My child is in school. I've asked her and her friends often if the teachers talk about covid, the presidency, election, etc., so far so good.
To think we are not being tracked by anything is naive. I am on the brink of straight homeschooling this upcoming schoolyear, I just need to prepare myself better mentally. I live my kids, but they are stubborn like me and like to find things out for themselves so I have to rethink my teaching style completely.
Do it! My sisters are teachers in a red state. It's so bad. They have no control over what they teach. The whole system is so screwed up. Common core is utter crap. They are dumbing down and indoctrinating kids and even the teachers that disagree with it have no choice but to go along with it.
If God ever blesses me with children, there is no way in hell I'd send them to public schools after what I have learned.
I started wondering that when the elections were taking place and my child came home saying they voted in class for who they wanted as president. I get teaching the children about the election process but we are talking about kindergarten and 1st grade. My child is too young to understand politics and world policies. My first thought was they were collecting information based of the child's answer.
As a teacher in the public school system...this is definitely not true in my school or district...I could see CA teachers or some other state with predominately libtards in the teaching ranks but it is not something being done or promoted where I am at anyway.
The school counselor also sends home questionnaires with questions like: "do you have a quiet place to study?" "How do you feel when you're at home?" "Do you ever go without food when you are at home?" "How often are you hungry when you're at home?"
I pulled my son out of public school yesterday. Yesterday, we also started homeschooling. I work full-time at home, so it's definitely an adjustment, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice for his education and not indoctrination.
Homeschool!!! We said screw the public school system about 4 months ago. Let your kids learn in a comfortable environment instead of the fluorescent indoctrination camp.
schools have been doing this for a very long time.....it just didnt involve quarantines or health information.
I particularly liked the one that wanted a timeline of what our family did over a period of time. I insisted that the assignment invaded our family privacy - pick another topic instead. Other 'assignments' involved guns and whether your family had any.
No matter what they tell you, the locals DO keep track of whether you own guns or not. One son rode bus to school, elementary age. at the end of the day a bullet was found. we got a call asking if our gun was secure, and if we knew where the bullets were. turns out we did not own that particular gun - but they did NOT call the families of all the people on the bus.....just the gun owners.
What are the odds... My child told me tonight they wrote about everyone that lives in their home today at school. Knew it was coming but surprised to hear it tonight after I saw this post today.
This is in violation of HiPAA laws I believe.
Private schools too here in NY
This is a stated goals of common core, unified databases of info on the children and their families.
brainwashed children turning in their parents, wonderful. Sounds like 1939 and pre ww2 in Germany to me.
Or 1967 chyna
Or 2021 USSA
Orwell's Junior Spies
Interesting. We are in catholic school and my son recently mentioned he has to do an autobiography. I will have to find out more!

Jesuit = Communist
Not even close. The Jesuits formed to fight the Communist. Nice Freemasonic propaganda ya got there.
Well, the Society of Jesus (like the pope) are big proponents of “liberation theology”...
They were infiltrated.
Many Catholics agree with you on this! Thing is, we don't have to listen to the Pope when he speaks off the chair. Only statements on dogma and something else are infallible.
Everything else is up for us to decide on personally.

It's not fully corrupt. So now what?
Jesuits are the cabal mafia and the Pope’s thugs. They are also known for secreting artifacts away from around the world, like the Smithsonian.
Like who? And what?

These sick people are attacking our kids with falsehoods about our world.
My mom was treated like a crazy person for homeschooling me but she gets to say I told you so constantly now.
Good on you for sticking to your guns. I can certainly say homeschooling was the best thing for me.
I would intercept the assignment and turn it into a writing fiction assignment. In other words, lie.
Disinformation is necessary
I don’t believe lying is the solution to our problems.
if we give intentionally vague answers they can tell we're trying to dodge them, but if we give them realistic nonsense, they can't tell it apart from the real answers. now all the information they collected is useless
good Lord dude calm the fuck down
My children will never attend indoctrination daycare, I mean public schools. Sure, it’s expensive as hell, but raising a liberal is even more costly..

The move helped expose me more of the liberal ideology before University, but I already had a good head on my shoulders at that point and didn't believe the lies.
Did same.
Watch the private schools they are doing the same kind of stuff. I would do random check ins and sit ins if I were you.

Thank you for the suggestions. Wheat flour is out from now in. Soda has been out since I read about Fetal stem cells used as flavoring.
Check out the carnivore or keto diet. Basically high protein fat, low carbs. Also cut out the sugar and sugary drinks. Drink water. Also take 1 multi vitamin per day. And up to 5g of vitamin D and C per day.
I will give Keto a try. Do you have a website or cookbook you suggest? Thank you :)
I do not unfortunately. I just know that some people have been having success losing weight with it. Maybe just Google it and watch some YouTube videos about it.
I totally agree with carnivore. It changed my life. I went from having add. Psoriasis. And arthritis.... to being lean, with minimal add symptoms, clear skin after 23 years of suffering.. and no arthritis pain.... And I lost weight. In highly recommend you try it for a month. Just don't forget electrolytes
Thank you! I am getting so much great advice! I am happy you are sharing your struggle, and sorry you have it. Brain damage- lol - I have told my doctor (many times), that it feels like something is broken. I am always ready to eat, and never feel full (I’m either ready to eat, or thing about eating). Brain damage describes it well. There are a lot of ways for me to start. Thank you!
Good for you for changing your family tree and living out your best life!!
I have learned a few things from quitting bad habits like porn/alcohol/smoking. It's about moderation. Don't set out in the beginning to completely eradicate your bad habits as that usually ends in disappointment when you fail. It's much better to learn how your bad habits effect you and what you would look like with/without them. A book that is geared towards alcohol, but will also give you a framework to think about other problems/habits is "The easy way to stop drinking" by Allen Carr. Helped me with a lot of other issues by giving myself a framework for looking at why I did the things that I did.
It's also about small incremental progress that leads to a compounding effect. Changing just a few things leads to a compound effect that changes many other areas. So tackle small reasonable goals first.
You are right about processed food having lots of addictive qualities. Not only that, but it unnecessarily keeps weight on - lots of it water weight. Sodium is a big one to thank for this. A great book to look at is "Lies my doctor told me" by Ken Berry. You are a critical thinker or else you wouldn't be on this forum, so you can read that and do more research on how those things impact your body.
You can absolutely lose weight without exercising. It's all about the food you eat and how your body reacts to processed foods, sugars, sodium, grains, etc. The difference is that you will want to exercise because your energy level increases as you start eating a healthier diet and your body starts burning fat.
Lots of people do a carnivore or keto style eating with lots of success as it gets rid of a lot of the empty carbs that overloads our systems. I do fasting/carnivore for the most part and I really like it, but I am just one voice on the internet. Try out different things to see how your body reacts as mine will be different than yours. Don't do something if it isn't working just to achieve some result.
Good luck and just take things a step at a time an realize you aren't eating a certain way to go on a diet, you are eating a certain way because you love yourself and want to be healthy. Advise yourself as if you are advising your school kids, with as much hope and as much recognition of potential as you see in them.
I am eager to do some reading. Thank you for your thoughtful post. I am going to start treating myself better today (I really like that thought - because I love myself). This is a viewpoint I needed. Thank you again.
Absolutely! I know what it is like to go through some of that. All starts with seeing yourself how God sees you - worth every minute for a perfect creation and adapting your habits to match that.
fellow teacher here:) never been real big, so cant tell you how to lose, but this is how I maintain a low weight. I try to eat alone as much as possible, and pay attention to every bite. Also read about where your food comes from... a book called Eating Animals really turned me off to commercial meat products and big corporations controlling what we eat. hard to enjoy fast food knowing how the animals were treated..eat local if possible.
Thank you for the suggestion. I actually don’t eat much meat (Keto will be hard for me). I know, someone who is fat that doesn’t eat much meat (like none since Christmas meal). I’m thinking the wheat could be it. Another user suggested wheat, and I realized I really eat a lot of bread, more so than sweets.
yeah bread is a tough for me too, especially french bread, but I feel better when I can stay away from it. been easier with Covid because I never actually go in the store...avoid the temptation.
I've seen several Christian eating plans out there to change how you think about food, and incorporate prayer/fasting. might be worth a look:)
Can you explain "good events?" are you saying that you taught them to rehearse events in the right way without personal information or are you talking about a positive event to orient to positivity. Just to clarify.
I tell my students that the best personal stories are the ones that allow the readers to learn the best things about them, and their families. I try to have them pick good emotion stories, where their writing makes others happy as well. On the caution side, I start by saying I wear sweat pants, and a T shirt when I get home. Many times my clothes are stained because I work around the house, or drop food on them (hence a good reason to change). I never want my children to tell people about my stained clothes because it would make me feel embarrassed. Any story they share should always be stories that do not embarrass family, and friends.
I ask students to read their stories to their parents first; so, they know exactly what is written, and can also help remember more details (and parents can also say... don’t share that). Finally, I let students know that I share their writing with their parents.
Finally - (I worked with 2nd - 4th graders for 6 years), I let students know that it can help to write about things that make them feel sad, but if they are private, they should not bring them, or write them in school. By law, I must report any story where children might be abused. I try hard not to put students in the situation where a story can break their family apart. Truthfully, if I believe a student is being abused, I hand off that issue to the Principle, or the guidance counselor. If abuse is involved, I am not specialized enough to ask the right questions (I have read it is possible to implant memories, as well as put suggestions into a child’s mind.)
Here is my limited experience from working with other teachers - some are nosey, some are looking for danger around every corner, one has an agenda (that I do not agree with); however , most are caring.
Agenda teacher - not much I can do here, but carefully advise parents (not being able to come out and say it), but I say things like ,”she does a good job teaching social issues like ...”. I have also shared with parents what books are being read in the rooms. Enough parents push back on the agenda where I feel less agenda is caught... I hate I can’t do more. BTW - if a different teacher than your child’s teacher ever talks to you in the hallway, and makes some off the cuff comments that make you wonder, ask more questions. That teacher probably went out of their way to both let you know, and find out if you agree with the agenda...
What insight you have. Your students are truly lucky to have someone teaching them that cares so much. Many teachers these days parrot Marxist talking points and don’t know the impact they are having. Those students may not always appreciate what you are doing right now, but it will always stay with them. “Teach them while they are young and they will surely return to it” (paraphrasing but it is very true)
I really like this idea! What other redpill things have you done?
My wife doesn't like to talk politics, so sometimes I gently spoke to my grade school daughter about it. (Of course, gentle for me is not the same as gentle for everyone else).
At one point she said: "Daddy, you talk to me about politics but I really don't understand what you're talking about."
I pulled Animal Farm off the shelf and read it to her. Gently. (for me). Did the voices. Paused to explain things. I think she got it. Well.... some of it, anyway.
I don't know if that was the best approach. But now when she asks why I disagree with grandma and grandpa, I can say: "Grandma and Grandpa believe everything Squealer tells them."
I actually never read Hunger Games or seen the movies....
Brave New World... eh... she's too young for the sex parts. Same reason I'm not jumping into 1984.
Lately she's been burning through the Encyclopedia Brown books I got for her. Finishes a book in like an hour.
When I read her little sister my favorite Dr. Seuss book -- the little known "Trouble to Salla Sallew" (something like that) I gave her a little quiz. "Hey, that guy is making the main character pull the cart by himself, saying the MC will provide the muscle and the old guy will provide the brains! What does that remind you of?"
And she shouted: "The pigs!!!"
Oh, she saw Studio Ghibli's "Howl's moving castle." She and her little sister love them. I love the Studio Ghibli movies myself. Japanese animation, generally very child-friendly, many of the movies without a real antagonist.
She liked a Nancy Drew so I bought more of them.
I started telling her the story of my favorite Agatha Christie "And then there were none." But I was getting into the bad things the suspects did that put them on the killer's hit list, and she started getting scared and my wife gave me that look of "why the hell are you telling her this?"
Going back to what I said about "Gentle."
Oh, Studio Ghibli had Rojna the Robber's Daughter as a series. I bought her the book. And learned the author also wrote Pippi Longstocking, so I got her some of those books too. She loved them.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown as a kid. That's how I learned what ambergris (whale puke) was. Also the Great Brain books. Learned a lot about Mormons that way.
Thanks for sharing. I wish I was raised by your parenting style. My parents suspected a lot of the Marxist bullshit, but were ultimately too lazy and bluepilled to be good parents.
Very interesting. Thank you so much for the detailed response!
I initially thought the part about using charm to get what you want was a little off, but then I remembered a saying from my culture that my Mom always brought up, "a tender calf sucks two cows", and realized that part is very important.
Ah, yes that makes a lot more sense now, you're right on point with that.
I'll certainly be checking out the PeeWee videos!
My parents never swore, but they never said anything about it either. I saw the f-word carved into a school bus seat and asked the driver what it meant. He told me I didn't need to know. So I wasn't exposed to cussing much until college. It has never occurred to me that I should cuss, as there are so many other choice words. My mother said her doctor could burn up nurses' ears and never say a bad word. I think you can cut someone down without those few words that have been labeled vulgar. They are just words, but I just don't use them.
Oo I like this!
Top Kek!
What state are you in? Where/who have you heard this from? My child is in school. I've asked her and her friends often if the teachers talk about covid, the presidency, election, etc., so far so good. To think we are not being tracked by anything is naive. I am on the brink of straight homeschooling this upcoming schoolyear, I just need to prepare myself better mentally. I live my kids, but they are stubborn like me and like to find things out for themselves so I have to rethink my teaching style completely.
Homeschool. It’s the best option next to a small (2-10 families) charter program.
Do it! My sisters are teachers in a red state. It's so bad. They have no control over what they teach. The whole system is so screwed up. Common core is utter crap. They are dumbing down and indoctrinating kids and even the teachers that disagree with it have no choice but to go along with it.
If God ever blesses me with children, there is no way in hell I'd send them to public schools after what I have learned.
I started wondering that when the elections were taking place and my child came home saying they voted in class for who they wanted as president. I get teaching the children about the election process but we are talking about kindergarten and 1st grade. My child is too young to understand politics and world policies. My first thought was they were collecting information based of the child's answer.
Btw this was embedded in Common Core. All the data they collect through the kids gets sold, just like big tech and Obamacare.
As a teacher in the public school system...this is definitely not true in my school or district...I could see CA teachers or some other state with predominately libtards in the teaching ranks but it is not something being done or promoted where I am at anyway.
The school counselor also sends home questionnaires with questions like: "do you have a quiet place to study?" "How do you feel when you're at home?" "Do you ever go without food when you are at home?" "How often are you hungry when you're at home?"
I pulled my son out of public school yesterday. Yesterday, we also started homeschooling. I work full-time at home, so it's definitely an adjustment, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice for his education and not indoctrination.
Can you post any pics about the writing assignment?
Depends on the state and school district. I'm in a county in Alabama that voted for Trump 80%. Nothing like that going on here.
Withdraw your children, and if private schools demand back the full tuition fee, citing HiPAA violations
Homeschool!!! We said screw the public school system about 4 months ago. Let your kids learn in a comfortable environment instead of the fluorescent indoctrination camp.
schools have been doing this for a very long time.....it just didnt involve quarantines or health information.
I particularly liked the one that wanted a timeline of what our family did over a period of time. I insisted that the assignment invaded our family privacy - pick another topic instead. Other 'assignments' involved guns and whether your family had any.
No matter what they tell you, the locals DO keep track of whether you own guns or not. One son rode bus to school, elementary age. at the end of the day a bullet was found. we got a call asking if our gun was secure, and if we knew where the bullets were. turns out we did not own that particular gun - but they did NOT call the families of all the people on the bus.....just the gun owners.
questions also involved evil Tobacco and asked whether or not your parents 'did' caffeine'.
holy fuckballs batman
Sauce?
We peacefully being sheep now ok?
What are the odds... My child told me tonight they wrote about everyone that lives in their home today at school. Knew it was coming but surprised to hear it tonight after I saw this post today.
