It's back to school time, and I hear there's a new covid variant about to be unleashed.
So, in an effort to get ahead of this healthwise. Here's what I will be doing. Other info welcome.
Basic protocol: --Vitamin C --Vitamin D --Zinc --Quercetin --NAC
Additional as needed. --Ivermectin --HCQ
Have also heard about but not tried: --Black seed oil --Oil of Oregano --Tumeric --others?
Mercola states that starting with a nebulizer is supposed to help, too. Food grade hydrogen peroxide and saline. Maybe a drop or two of colidal silver. I will try this out this fall.
Other helpful tips?
Amen, brother!!
I teach at a home school consortium. I will have 80+ students that I will teach various classes to this year. It's a mixed bag as there are left leaning families in the group for vaxx. I am not aware of a move toward puberty blockers or bindings in the group.
My lectures are peppered with tyranny encroachment, our rights come from God not government, the president does not have the power to mandate the vaxx, J6 speedy trial abuses, RFKJ freedom of speech address, etc.
My son is a high school senior so we are so close to being out of the government attempts at controlling my child. No covid vaxx, but regrettably I did vaxx him when he was little. So, stupid. Fortunately, it looks like we dodged a bullet.
Thank you.
Good bless your work, I'm being pushed to go back to the (distant) office suddenly 5 days a week and just can't see it. But it's too late to sign up for teaching at a co-op, so things might get a bit tight. But I'm feeling a call to teach, been reading up on the 1776 project (Hillsdale curriculum), logic/rhetoric, classical methods etc. It was good enough for the founding fathers, it should be good for us.
Do you teach all day? 5 days a week? All subjects? How did you get into this?
I got into this because my son wanted to play trumpet.
There was a homeschool consortium nearby - homeschool consortium - think co-op just much bigger. 460 families and 600 students. Basically, a family can go there and sign up for only the classes they need. So, more like college schedule wise.
My son needed to take a regular class in addition to trumpet lessons, so we did science.
Did this for a year or two.
Then they were looking for someone to teach history for high school. I submitted my resume and was accepted as an independent contractor. I do not work for the consortium. I contract with them to provide teaching services. The consortium is kinda like a match maker if you will.
Since we (consortium) are so large, we rent the facilities for a couple of days, not just 1 like normal co-ops.
Starting out, I did 2 classes. One on each day. I only teach the classes I want, and then only if there are enough students that want to learn what I am offering to teach. It can be a bit of a dance, because parents are ultimately in charge. Some are only looking to meet the bare minimum required by law. High level math and science classes would get canceled because not enough students would signup - we had the teachers.
As a parent, you need to ensure that you are educating your child. What being educated means and how that is accomplished is up to you. State laws on this vary from state to state and quite honestly is a bare minimum - as it should be!
For us, we did classes at the consortium, I taught classes at home, community education for some art classes, video-based algebra/pre-calc/calculus, etc. The goal, was that he be college ready for an engineering/doctor/legal discipline. We wanted him to have enough of an education so that these doors would remain open. If he chooses something else, so be it. His choice. His education was not going to be a limiting factor for him.
Start with a local co-op or 2. See if you could get on a sub list or offer to teach a class or 2. Teachers get sick. A fall on the ice as an independent contractor could be devastating.
The other thing is you could do is discuss the classes you want to teach with homeschooling parents you know. Maybe offer these classes after work hours or on a Saturday to start. Think piano lessons or swim lesson. That way you get to keep your day job for a while.
It's not going to be a living wage, not even close. But, if you are retired, or you work part-time, you could make it work.
For us, my hubby is the bread winner. I plan to keep teaching after my son graduates this year. No way I'm going back to the corporate world. I enjoy teaching this way. It helps out a little with the bills or as my sister says, it gives you a little walking around money.
Thank you for sharing all of this, very helpful.
