Hello frens. I just read over our districts reopening plan and they are still entertaining the kungflu agenda, but masks are optional if you sign an opt out form and if someone in the class comes down with it the unmasked automatically get 10 day quarantine. So i guess besides the covid restrictions that i am not happy with, plus them being tracked on their school ipads, what would be more reasons to homeschool? We did it for the last month of this year and I prefer it but husband thinks they need to be in the system in order for us to fight for them and be taken seriously by the school board. I know they are looking forward to going back to school, but my gut is telling me no. I need to convince the husband, please help.

I have always been a big proponent of public schools and supporting your local school district. After a year in a new school district, I am homeschooling my son. He is going into High school and I cannot expose him to the crap going on.
I moved to a new state last year and a district that has been the worst in the area on mitigation processes and the school board does not care about the parents. The May school board meeting the president of the board had YT ban the video because of misinformation on Covid by the parents. Which everything said by the parents was 100% factual. I was one of the parents to speak. The school board is now trying to get parent comments excluded from all future videos of meetings.
While there, I started talking to other parents and found out that our schools are applying CRT to the curriculum. They began affinity groups. If a student disagrees with anything they become a target and there have been several students beaten up because of it.
I also found out that our school board president has been the one pushing all the covid crap because her child has other health issues. She is also married to a Democrat state rep. There is someone running against her this year but until voter fraud is addressed in our county, I don't think a change will happen.
My in laws and mom think I am making a mistake because they think he needs the High school experience but what is going on in schools is not the High school experience I want to subject my child to.
It is a hard decision to make. There are homeschool co-ops everywhere that you can join to provide social engagement and share knowledge. I wish you the best and you will make the best decision that will fit your child/children's needs.
That is really messed up, sounds similar to our district bs.
I am tired of hearing that the kids need to go to school to have a "normal" childhood, or whatever. And that comes from the husband too, so really trying to just build my case to either homeschool or private.
Best of luck. I really enjoyed the 1 month I had of homeschooling. The kids love it bc they dont have to qake up super early and arent stuck at a desk all day. Lots of perks to homeschool.
Stay strong. Find a group of like minded people in your area to spend time with. " socializing"
