For the past 9 months, I've been fielding phone calls from anxious parents interested in homeschooling for an organization here in N. California. Many of the parents I spoke with said that watching their child's Zoom class and seeing how unkempt, insane-sounding liberal teachers did very little teaching, but pushed lots of woke garbage preaching, got them looking for education alternatives. One of the teachers even made an announcement at the beginning of class for the parents to leave the room as it would distract the student. NOT Okay, Groomer!
The horrific Zoom classes + the masking and jabs for students 5 - 18 for the 2023/24 school year had the parents scrambling for either charter or home schooling. Masking, and I believe the mandated jabs for CA public school students, is off the table for now due to parental pressure, but the Teachers Union is not happy and wants both masks and jabs for kids back!
The Indoctrination and grooming in our schools and dumbing down of our kids revealed to parents.
People are now changing their minds about "antivaxers" and starting to listen to what we've been trying to say all these years.
The corrupt "sick care" industry has been exposed and now more people know better than to just blindly trust a doctor or a prescription.
The vast majority of illegals pouring into our country don't like the trans agenda or the other insane social justice concepts on the left. Also they are very prolife and mostly Christian. This will be the left's biggest blunder ever by the time this is all done.
Now food shortages are going to awaken people to the corruption in our food industry. Hopefully more people will relearn the forgotten wisdom of growing and preserving food.
Turned out, the people that liked the system the way it was were the ones all long who would need everything to "return to normal.' There is no 'return to normal' and they damn well should be terrified of that.
Thankfully I was retired from hospital nursing in 2016, but worked as needed since 2017 in an outpatient setting. I was retiring for good 12/21, but quit 2 months early due to the Covid shot mandates, flu shot mandates, restriction on what I could say to patients and mask requirements. I am glad I am not working in the hospital anymore. I would not have lasted 2 days. I am fed up with more concern about money than patient care. Do no harm no longer exists in hospitals.
u/Hope70 Maybe it depends on the hospital? I work at a hospital but am exempt from flu and covid shots and my department doesn't give two shits if you wear a mask or not. Some of my co-workers are a bit based too
I need to work wherever you are. In my state you cannot work in healthcare unless you are jabbed, boosted, and have few brain cells. Out of work for two years.
u/INK10 What state are you in? Is that even legal for them to do? I was under the impression that there were 'work at will' states and everywhere else had to give you a job, regardless, otherwise it's discriminatory.
I had a feeling that this was one way that the lockdowns were going to blow up in their faces big time. They really thought all parents would just watch Netflix all day long and not take the opportunity to spy on what was going on in their kid's classes.
So whack that many agreed to let their kids use GOV provided laptops and use CCP zoom... Back in the day parents had to sign waivers for field trips when photos were to be taken... Back to Ed Snowman weren't people concerned and put post-it notes over their laptop cams?!?
I welcomed parents to join my classes, ask questions worth their children, and help the flow of discussion. The openness actually put several nice parent letters in my file. As a teacher I wish I could have a vid camera in my class now.
I would be for this, but small towns and poor areas make it hard to consider. I am paying student loans and don't have a lot of extra money. Before anyone goes on about student loans: I carefully looked at wages, benefits, bonuses and raises (teacher pay is public knowledge in my state). I became a teacher just in time for a 6 year pay freeze, reduction of benefits, and insurance went to crap. I still don't make what I made in the private sector as a transportation planner for a trucking company.
Teacher unions across the country have fought to make it illegal in many / most states to record a classroom. I have done everything but beg to do this (protects me, allows me to learn from my actions / speech / body language ), but I am unable to. It is phrased as ( breaking the student privacy ). Frens, parents will need to batter down the walls that keep them out of the classroom.
A better one would actually be one where you approve which users can watch. So maybe a private discord call where parents can jump on any time, but only you can invite or kick users.
It's chineese owned? Like tictoc? What if those apps capture video, and audio silently in the background. What about all the outfit change "challenges" that tictoc pushed... How much footage captured when users think the cam isn't rolling?
The schools just straight up suck. We had to do remote learning when they closed the schools initially and it was eye opening. We thought we were doing a poor job since we only had about 2 hours a day to spend on it, but when we talked to the teachers they told us we were ahead of the schedule. We were shocked. This was at a private Christian school too. Last school year we put them into a charter school and we pulled them a few months ago because our kids learning metrics actually got worse and the teachers were giving our kids A's. When asking g the teachers at parent/teacher meeting about it, we were told it's normal. Pulled them that day.
It's actually crazy how much home schooled kids learn in 1 day vs public school kids, or even private school. In those places the kids can't get 1 on 1 learning with the teachers, they can't get the help they need. But home schooling fixes that, AND gets them to learn more than twice as much in every single day!
Home schooling can be done from 9am-12pm and be done with every lesson! The rest of the day can be used for play or learning skills like cooking, sewing, carpentry, whatever the kids have interests in. Or use the remaining hours for field trips or socializing with fellow home school kids and families.
Honestly this way of learning sounds like a dream and I wish I had gotten it when I was kid. No bullying, no useless drama in school to distract you from learning, etc.
THIS is a great point! It's so sad to see so many kids so demoralized because they're stuck sitting down for 8 hours a day. They could do so much and be better more productive members of society if there was more homeschooling.
Luckily I had a based teacher in middle school that taught about the horrors of communism.
One day she printed out a ton of coloring book pictures of a "Car" and we were hired by the Soviet Union as "painters" to color the car in between the lines. When you painted a car you got a Tootsie Roll as your pay.
At first most people were really detailed with coloring in the car but we noticed the people not doing any work (ie just swiping a crayon across the car picture) always got a tootsie roll just like us.
By the end of that exercise, all of us were just swiping crayons across the car picture and "painting" as little as possible because we knew we'd get a Tootsie Roll anyway.
Vermont had basic competencies when I graduated. We had to be able to write a check, read a map, and a bunch of other skills. We were checked off in home room. So many didn’t go to college so I thought they were a good idea.
My calculus teacher made us learn to write computer programs in Basic on the school’s computer. I ended up with basically a computer engineering degree (electrical engineering with a computer emphasis - before Computer Engineering was accredited) because of her. She told us we needed to learn to program because computers were going to be the future. This was in the late 70s.
I remember I had a high school English and writing teacher that was really smart and she taught me a lot of things about English and writing that I've never forgotten. It was during her class that I also read Brave New World for the first time. She literally said during class once that the people in the book became so brainwashed that they believed "2+2=5, 2+2=5..." she kept repeating it because that's how they tricked the characters to believe in it, and this is LITERALLY what's happening TODAY. She was SO ahead of her time and I still respect her to this day, she was a phenomenal teacher.
We read all those based books in late junior high and high school. Animal Farm, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World. I don’t really know if kids are reading those in school today across the board.
I believe they've banned Animal Farm and To Kill a Mockingbird. Not sure about the others but I wouldn't be surprised if they're not reading them. Instead they're reading White Fragility and How to be an Ally or other nonsense.
While parents are awakening, I can assure you, they still are not fully aware just how bad our schools really are. I thought I was, until one of my son's became a teacher in Volusia County, FL. He went on a fishing expedition to find the hidden CRT teachings. This was before DeSantis saw the anti-CRT bill and signed it. So far, there are no less than a dozen subjects being taught in VCSB schools that have CRT principles slyly hidden withing the text books. All of the STEM subjects, English, other foreign languages like Spanish, French, and German, and the Social Studies like Civics, American History, and European History have hidden CRT principles. He even found a link to CRT in the Drama courses at one of the high schools here. The FL DOE has sequestered at least 54 different math textbooks with CRT cleverly hidden within. That's just the math books. And that isn't even all of the math text books available for FL's students.
No, I can assure you, this goes waaaaaay deeper and farther than anyone here realizes. Probably deeper and farther than anyone else realizes, even [them], [their] infiltration ahs been so successful.
i think many who had gone through and/or heard about the insanity of the teachers saw this is a potential outcome. Even teachers were freaking out about their "loss of privacy" in the classroom.
So lets keep pushing, demand body cameras on all teachers and school administrators and live streaming cameras from every public school classroom to ensure our children cannot be abused in silence.
Any legitimacy one once had, needed to be given up and traded in if they wanted to participate in the plandemic. It cost them everything. It is not coming back. This was the price.
IMO, this is the silver lining in this dark cloud of covid, now parents know what is happening within the system. High time for a change!
I added one for both of you.
Definitely a silver lining.

They misspelled INTENDED.

Schools and Hospitals have had the light shine upon them, and they did not show well.

And 2 years out of work? Holy shit bro.
It must be. Here in Ohio we have a RINO Governor and all hospitals mandate the above, unless they approve a religious exemption.

Leave and organize a teaching co-op for parents who want to homeschool their students.

You could look into setting up a password locked system that also allows you to monitor viewers.

Zoom classes were also being uploaded online with the kids on them, but they buried that pretty quick.

Wow never thought about that.. wack!!
How many noods do they have of people who have no clue? Like snapchat, but those noods sent are permanently stored on their servers. Whack indeed!
This is a great point.
They have to be shown...

Everyday some homo teacher male or female, complains they can't groom anymore.
Although I'm anti-lockdowns, there were some pros to them.

i think many who had gone through and/or heard about the insanity of the teachers saw this is a potential outcome. Even teachers were freaking out about their "loss of privacy" in the classroom.
So glad people have pulled their kids out.
Never interrupt the enemy when it is destroying itself!
It inadvertently fixed the root of our problems. Education.
Almost like it was all planned....
Probably why Trump allowed the lockdowns in the first place, how else would we have gotten to this point?
So lets keep pushing, demand body cameras on all teachers and school administrators and live streaming cameras from every public school classroom to ensure our children cannot be abused in silence.
Would not have happened if Trump hadn't played along with the lockdowns...
It had to be this way...
Any legitimacy one once had, needed to be given up and traded in if they wanted to participate in the plandemic. It cost them everything. It is not coming back. This was the price.
