After the first few weeks of school, with the prison-like CDC rules in place, there will be an exodus from public schools. School will be such a joyless place that only children from joyless homes will feel okay there.
Need information? Go to CDC.gov and check out what they are recommending. One can only hope the states ignore them or one can begin to plan to home school.
Yes the CDC recommendations for schools are horrifying and prison-like. Yesterday I applied for my teens to attend a small local conservative Christian school (400 students) and am prepared to pull them out of their large liberal public school (2000 students).
We are in a blue county in a blue state and I’m hoping that the most draconian joyless measures, if really mandated, will be easier to take in a small loving Christian school.
Mandatory masks for children in school in the fall would be the final straw, I think and my husband and I would homeschool until that is dropped. I just can’t see my children being able to breathe in them.
We made sure to purchase next year’s curriculum for our 2 homeschoolers early to beat the rush this year.
It is amazing to listen to folks at work realize that most of what their kids are getting fed in the government institutions is crap. One guy however, married to a teacher, threw up the old canard about “socialization”. His head rocked back when I asked how long he had been bigoted about homeschoolers.
Now is the time to fight hard as the left is getting it’s ass handed to it over their mini socialism COVID experiment.
I’m not sending my elementary child to school with a great fear of closeness to other humans. Ain’t happening. It would change their lives forever. Especially since the kids who get covid aren’t very sick at all. It’s like a lingering bad cold.
