OMG the humanity! This parent has NO business ever trying to communicate with other parents about any issue!

Initially, I was pretty aghast at this "safety rule"...but your post makes sense...

I know children are far different today when I raised my six...when we have my grown children friends come over and they bring their kids with them...I can barely contain my tongue

They are loud, unruly, undisciplined, needy, whiny, deaf to any adult command, expect for mine...(they know better)

I can barely imagine trying to teach and maintain control over 30 or so of them...

Today's parents for the most part are complete morons...raised on liberals child rearing nonsense and other related BS

...so I can understand the kneeing part..

Pretty sure they are not “kneeling before a person”, although that is what the whiny parents would have one believe.

It looks to me like they are not lining up in front of an individual. Sounds like the same idea as telling everyone to “freeze” where they are.

Okay, Wikipedia?

For one thing, we Catholics still genuflect at Church before getting into a pew to show respect for the Blessed Sacrament.
Secondly, it is done on the right knee and not the left.

I honestly do not get the picture here of a bunch of kids lined up in a position of adoration or submission. It is just a way of stopping them in their tracks. Too many students today are just way out of control.

Thank you.

I taught for 22 years, and I can certainly attest to the facts of what you say. Kids changed so much over the course of my career, and it was only because parents became so irresponsible.

Totalitarianism

***
Have you been to a public school lately? Things have changed since you were a student, I am willing to bet.

Sad part is you have parents who do not bother to socialize their children. Not all parents, of course, but enough of them that there is frequent chaos when there should be order.

So the private citizens aka taxpaying parents are "idiots", but the public sector employee enforcing "discipline" is A OK with you?

Thank You for revealing yourself. We see where you are coming from.

I have, not too far from this school in SB county in CA. I had lunch with my grandson and they had the kids quiet and in line without kneeling. I take it you haven’t been to a public school lately.

How could this possibly be a “safety issue” for elementary school kids?

Exactly. I never kneeled before anybody the whole time I was in school and no one got killed.

“She says that she has to drop down on one knee with her hands at her side, wait for the principal to come out, lift his arms and tell them to go to class,” said the mom.

I'll bet the principal is a democrat...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.
