Don’t let ‘em in!
My kids school does this (a small private Christian school).
We refuse to participate. Our home decor and lifestyle is none of their business.
It’s a puff piece extolling the virtues of liberal teachers riding to the rescue of the poor, downtrodden, illegal aliens.
Barf alert missing.
There is no way I’d make home visits.
All I can say is that they better have a Sheriff with them if they try that stunt at my house.
There is a similar teacher home visitation program at the school district just north of me here in central Texas. It’s part of the NCLB act pushed down our throats by nanny staters Bush and Perry. Perry probably would have added mandatory at home Gardasil injections had he gotten his way.
“...He had recently arrived from somewhere in Latin America....”
Somehow I’d not be surprise if the word “illegal” was not omitted from between “recently” and “arrived”.
So naturally, our school officials were just there to make sure that the parents got 1) the requisite free medical care, 2) information on how to file for benefits, 3) advice on how to ignore summons, insurance, and all else that the rest of us have to put of with, and 4) registration for the dim-bulb-crat party.
Wanna bet?
Back when I started homeschooling, the other kids in my daughters dance class public school teachers were doing this, and the parents loved it. This was for first grade, and no illegals in sight in the schools closest to us. That was around 1998, more than ten years ago.
Training for the coming marxist tyranny has been in place for a long time.
>But that means venturing far beyond the classroom, penetrating the private spaces that students disappear to when the afternoon school bell rings. <
Umm..F NO! That “private space” is reserved for families and learning time for the student. Just like employees who don’t want to see their bosses faces after work, the same can be applied here.
Oops, that’s “illegally”...not “illegal”.
The only teacher who ever visited us was married to our next-door neighbor’s brother.
The teachers at the 140 or so Turkish Fetullah Gulen public charter schools do this too, and the number of sheeple parents welcoming them in is surprising.
I don’t think you have to let the teachers in. If they call, tell them you will meet them at some neutral site if you don’t want them at your home. Personally I’d have no problem with them coming to my home, if arranged in advance. If the teachers are liberal types it might provide a little opportunity for THEM to learn something!
The Establishment is making giant strides to usurp parental rights. It wants no family ties. No sanctity of marriage. And a long list of other freedoms they intend to terminate. But they are happy to supply smut TV with no moral lessons and anything else that lowers the moral code of the people. Wake up America!
“... it might provide a little opportunity for them to learn something”
I don’t think liberal types ever really LEARN something; however, my concern would be “what do they learn about YOU”. For example, if you open your fridge and they see a beer... possible alcoholic? If they ask to use the restroom and somehow the medicine cabinet door open revealing a prescription... drug user? Is there a hunting/outdoorsy type magazine in plain view... gun owner. A few dust bunnies in the corner... filthy house? A person’s home is their HAVEN. It is theirs and theirs alone and it usually reveals more about the individual than you would expect. No way, no how, not in a million years would I allow entry. IMHO.
Volunteers doing on-site background research for the government.
Looking for indications of guns in the house, tobacco residue, suspicious books and literature like the bible or copies of the US Constitution, right wing artwork like pictures of the founders or the Crucifixion, bitter clinger publications like Shotgun News and Leatherneck magazine.
Another reason, added to the endless list of reasons, to Home School.
I have no problem with your point of view. I just don’t care WHAT anyone sees of my house (not that we have people over all that much). They WILL see a few dust bunnies, my wine rack and our reading materials, lot of conservative stuff and Bibles and commentaries, Sunday School materials.
However, I agree that should be the parents’ call, not the teacher’s.
