This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Apologize in advance for language…..
What the hell is wrong with parents?!?!?!?!?!?!?
What decent parent in their right minds would send their kids into an environment that they know is so potentially dangerous that they would need bullet proof backpacks to cower behind in the event of an active shooter????????
This advertising is staggering. They actually are showing kids how to shield themselves behind a backpack for “safety”???
And yet grown LEOs with body armor won’t go into an active shooter situation because they might get shot?????????
When is this insanity going to end? And when are parents going to love their kids more than they love their own lifestyles and themselves?
Thank you.
The truth is a grade school children is probably 10,000 times more likely to die in a soccer mom van accident than in a school shooting.
I love my kids. I have a rising high school senior who attends a great Christian school. I have a rising college sophomore taking in person Computer Science classes at a beautiful university campus. Both could benefit from bullet proof backpacks. Also, luckily, both ran track and cross country and know how to RUN FAST (best way to survive a mass shooting is to run).
