Wish us luck, I’ve realized there is no saving any public education. We fought hard to gain couple board seats on our school board, we pay so much in taxes for schools and supposedly some of the best in the nation. last week my friend and board member announced she was resigning. Publicly she didn’t say why but I heard from mutual friends that it was impossible to work with the other board members and the final nail in the coffin was when her third grader came home and asked what a threesome was. My sophomore told me about a book Eleanor and Park they had to read out loud which has F bombs galore in the first chapter, we looked into it and it has sex and terrible writing on top of that. This son is considered spectrum and he is in a class with a girl who says she is a boy and they “have to respect his pronouns”. He has not ever made friends at school, I kept hoping he would eventually but now I’m glad he hasn’t. I thought we could squeak through but I have officially realized there is absolutely no benefit left in public education. My oldest is graduating but I’m pulling my other kids who would be in 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th next year. I have a special needs 3rd grader who is in a great program who will stay through 5th then he will only go for speech, OT, PT. I won’t allow him in a middle school full day. Middle schools are terrible.I pray I’m doing what’s right, scared of screwing up.
My sister started a homeschool during covid, my nephew is in it he is 16 and he is good friends with my kids. We will join her. We’ve found someplace that they can continue strings (3 play violin) daughter can do choir, theater, we also belong to a church with a homeschool group. I’ve waited because I felt they were better off in their schools because of opportunities but the negatives now outweigh any benefits.
