Yes - a NJ friend cautioned us, as we drove west from NJ to Seattle - ‘isn’t that area close to a reservation?’ (Ie you might be scalped). And also ‘What if you break your leg?’ (We’d go to a doctor). It’s Wild West of the Hudson River.

My friend against the foothills in Los Angeles saw a bear in her backyard. He was eating the honey that the bees had hidden under a tarp in the wheelbarrow. Front yard is large and tree-y; backyard is narrow with a wash behind it. She opened the door (!!) to see what the noise was and came face to face with him. Closed the door fast and called the bee folks in the morning!
My grandkids LOVE that story!! And the pictures - close up of a bear’s mouth, open. I have read it to them about 400 times. The illustrations are very good too.

‘Common schools’ ie government schools were established to counter the ‘threat’ of private Catholic schools, which had been established to help new immigrants. Dewey et al couldn’t stand having Christians and wanted to propagandize kids to be secular. The schools before then - think Little House - the kids were in school for six weeks and then worked in the fields during planting and harvesting. Somehow … they built this country from the ground up. (Public teacher here/ ran screaming, then Homeschooled my own, then Tutored 1:1 and picked up the pieces with kids who were confused.) I say take the whole thing down and take back your kids.

Not the J and J neither. It’s also very bad. I would claim religious exemption or get a new job. They are looking for employees/ every lazy one is on the dole. Should make it easy to find work?

Vouchers still depend on the government’s assent and largesse - and taxation of others. Get out of the government’s grasp - teach your own children what you know and believe.
