I used to be so pro public schools. Not any more. I really believe now that everyone should get their kids out of public schools, which have been destroyed by this woke nonsense. They are now just venues for the left to brainwash children. Even where I live, which is one of the most conservative areas in my state.
If you can't afford private school, check and see if your church provides help for kids attending church sponsored schools. Or look into homeschooling or joining with other parents to start your own little school. If any of you watch Salty Cracker, he was a public school teacher and now tutors for pay instead. I'm sure there are based teachers who would appreciate the opportunity to escape public schools.
This is why everyone should also be pushing for vouchers for their state. Let those funds go to the child instead of the school system. If they have to compete for those dollars, they will either improve or close their doors.
I took early retirement from education in 2019. Avoided the covid nonsense. As a retired principal, I can look back on times that I scoffed at parents who thought home schooling was better than what we could offer at my school....as the saying goes...once you're awake, it's all so clear. Now I feel for those who don't have home schooling as an option.
There is no way to get away from this, anywhere. That's why I keep harping on getting children out NOW, even if you think it's not happening in your schools, even if it's really hard. I'm glad you had the option to escape.
Whatever works. They have obviously proven that they can't be trusted to decide on curriculum. Dee68, you should share some info on here on how parents go about hiring a home school contract teacher.
This is great. But you should post it as a new, separate post. Most people won't see it otherwise. Thanks, Dee68. Your children are so lucky to have such a dedicated, knowledgeable parent.
