Let the hand-wringing begin, Lefty’s. We aren’t buying into your twisted world view!!!!!!
Sounds like the next best thing to homeschooling.
If you are planning to homeschool next year, by all means join Home School Legal Defense (HSLDA.org)
As these school districts and union lose money, I mean students, I expect they are going to step up harassment of those who choose to think for themselves.
We were members for the 20+ years we homeschooled and still support them today. We never had to call them but rested easy in the knowledge that if we ever got a knock on the door our answer would be “Here’s my lawyer” and hand them the phone. Followed soon after by “get off my porch.”
There were community schools before there were government schools.
Everything government touches turns to excrement.
Time to get rid of them and go back to parents being in charge.
She knew the works of Kipling practically by heart. Kipling was a revered name in our house, and for our stories mom would tell us her own "Cliff's Notes" versions in her own style. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was one of her favorite Kipling characters, and ours too.
But now, no matter how much money and accouterments you provide, some people are genetically incapable learning much beyond their primitive tribal instincts.
Better yet, triple or quadruple the consortium of home schooling groups and teach the children from home or a common place.
It’s funny to me how the teacher unions are all against re-opening school but some in education are *horrified* that children have to learn from their parents who might not be on-board with all the socialism and gay norming going on in the schools.
I say, find another way to teach them than the failed public school system. Don’t think your school is a failure? How many of them are protesting and rioting today?
Saul Alinsky would be pleased.
My son is using Raspberry Pi to teach his elementary school kids. He’s a software developer.
I think having parents school their kids, especially those who are in STEM is going to result in changes in education.
IOW, why are the kids being held back so badly? Why are they teaching garbage?
They will reopen schools only if Joe Biden wins the election.
Sounds like what we call a “homeschool co-op.”
And of course the NYT adopts a patronizing tone, suggesting that minorities are incapable of setting one up. Who are the racists again?
It looks like what they’re saying is that the key to equality is equal misery. Anyone trying to escape their own misery is a Racist. Apart from Party leaders, of course.
If doctors and nurses can be on the front lines, so can the teachers. Give them some PPE and make them essential.
I do agree that this could be a blessing in the end as the state run schools are hate-America propaganda machines.
Expand school choice and waivers...less “pods”
LOL
Probably.
And home school associations can put these families in touch with each other.
That has been one of the biggest problems with the "small school" idea is that people find it difficult to find other people who want to do the same thing. But if you have some way that they can get in touch with each other the problem goes away.
Shut down the government schools. Let teachers compete for students in the free market. Commie teachers should not have an advantage that’s supported by big government.
