And in school education sets the bar pretty low to begin with.
If online public education is worse, that’s pretty bad.
I guess not.
We home schooled. My wife was afraid that she was not qualified to teach high school, so we looked at putting them in the public high school. The high school would not give them credit for much of the coursework they had done. Suddenly instead of being a couple of years ahead, they were a couple of years behind. So we went to the local junior college.The junior college would not accept them unless they tested dirrectly into college courses and not the remedial courses most high school graduates have to take. So my girls started college at 13 and 14. My wife that was afraid to teach them high school had inadvertently prepared them for college.
The point of all that was... get kids out of public schools, they are government child abuse. Parents can do much better.
relying on the fact that “remote online instruction” was INFERIOR to in-class instruction!
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
While DEMANDING that they not be required to sit in a ‘classroom’ while STILL receiving pay. (Last I heard they and government workers were getting paid???)
If they ‘demand’ virtual instructing lets start paying them virtual pay and those that DEMAND to work from home have their pay adjusted to ‘withhold’ all that money they have been ‘crying’ about paying just getting to and from and eating while at work.
If they can ‘assume’ they are in the office, we can ‘assume’ that part of their pay covers the expense of going to work AND don’t forget the ‘child care’ payments.
Can’t we ALL ‘play this game’?
One of the reasons some unions want minimum wage increased is because their is sometimes a scale saying ‘their’ people have to make so much more than the minimum wage and the more the ‘worker’ makes, the more the ‘union’ makes.
Very true. That’s the first thing we did. Join HSLDA.
Yup. That was the gist of it. The teachers' unions were demanding not to go back to the classroom but tutoring was OK.
Actually, it gets even better. Some of the local unions have started making noise about LIMITING their virtual time on-line. Also that some are afraid that the camera will show things around their home they may not want to share.
Pretty well screwed in some N.E. States. Wonder how the PA Amish get away with it. We started in FL and it was pretty easy. Simply write a letter to the county edu dept notifying them of your intentions. That and keep records in case they decide to audit you. When we moved to MO, we didn't even bother telling anyone because it's not required. Our kids don't even exist as far as they're concerned.
Or the camera will show that they are not even at home.
“The dems made a real tactical blunder here. They are demanding the closure of their best brainwashing and indoctrination centers. They cannot work on destroying the family when they are forcing the family to work together.”
There’s not a lot of good things to come from this virus, but the very fact that kids are being kept out of these government institutions and the fact that the ‘teachers’ cannot be sure they don’t have the parents sitting in the ‘back of the classroom’ monitoring them, has GREATLY IMPROVED education in this country, and that will show up in the quality of this generation of kids. It will tough for the schools to ‘get them back’ into their hate-their-parents, hate-their-country, and hate-God mindset...regardless of how hard the schools try.
“pretty soon, public schools are gonna be nothing but meeting grounds for gangs and thugs and drug dealers”
“pretty soon” - where have you been?

Nice job! Kind of mirrors the story with my kids. I was never about to put them in government schools (Dr. Sowell made it perfectly obvious as to why no one should do it...but what the hell, they’re ‘free’). Anyway, our junior college had the same rules - no remedial classes for young entries. And that’s mainly because the public schools know that parents, by droves, would be pulling their kids out of the public schools and putting them into college, if they could simply finish off high school there, as 90% of the social problems and indoctrination doesn’t happen at junior colleges...and that younger kids would finally have an environment where they could actually learn something.
My children started college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13.
In my case, I had to return to work for 6 months to maintain my professional license. I took them to the community college for testing. They scored so well that they were admitted. All three have masters degrees in their fields of study: computer engineering, statistics, and accounting.
Exactly! I have one still working on a Phd. And better rounded dealing with all age groups and less suceptable to peer pressure. Yet they always want to warn of lack of social skills. What they mean is lack of socialist robot skills.
“All three have masters degrees in their fields of study: computer engineering, statistics, and accounting.”
That was luck.
(just kidding, nice job!)
Government school “socialization” is prison survival socialization.
What are school cliques? In reality they are prison survival gangs.
This socialization must be unlearned if any adult is to succeed in their careers, marriages, and in relations with their relatives, neighbors, and community.
Thanks.
I like the way you explained that.
