I don't blame the mother for feeling frustrated with school authorities...
Her son was not punished...
I wish this distance learning would end very soon...
The teacher doesn't have a leg to stand on, and should at the very least be disciplined. The kid was IN HIS BEDROOM, and the teacher thinks she can tell him how to decorate?
I’d make it permanent. It’s very difficult for teachers to argue that they are indispensable, when we are dispensing of them.
Wow! Fifteen?
That teacher is way overqualified if they can count to fifteen. Unless they took one shoe off.
as Dennis Prager has said , the Left ruins everything and they are in charge of education
One of my daughter’s high school classrooms had a portrait of Che Guevara on the wall. No portraits of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln, Madison, et al were to be seen. The TEACHER must have put it up.
“...includes the wearing of buttons, badgers,...”
I want to see the kid who wears badgers.
And Colusa is in conservative, rural California
I really don’t see where a school teacher gets to say what any student has on his wall. It’s a sticky wicket.
I could imagine porn or whatever. I don’t approve but it’s not a public
classroom. It’s his house.
Its actually quite common in Wisconsin, one of my children does so on a regular basis.
I think I read a book once, I think it was subsequently made into a movie, where the gubmint had cameras installed in every citizen’s home to monitor and look for evidence of something called “ungoodthink”.
Forget the name.
But this virtual “learning” (and I use that term loosely) seems like a back door to place a live gubmint camera monitor in every school child’s home.
The fact that this kid was disciplined for having a Trump flag, or the other one a few months ago with the BB Gun in the closet in the background, should scare the crap out of every free citizen.
Brilliant plan though. Force everyone with school age children to place a gubmint livestream video monitor in their home. Then punish the citizenry for ungoodthink.
Ignorance is Strength. .
The teacher doesn’t get to say what is on the kid’s wall, but the school may have a say on what is shown on camera. Zoom provides a whole range of backgrounds that can be displayed which prevent anyone from seeing what is actually in camera range, for those people who don’t want the world to see what’s in their house. Many of them are neutral and non-distracting.
Provided that the rule is applied in a content-neutral way, I don’t have a problem with restricting what is sown on camera/
Name the school, city and state. Curious patriots want to know who loves Communist torturers and mass murderers.
LOL. Next class the student should have a dartboard decorated with the teachers pic in plain sight of his camera.
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.
Schools are a terrible waste of time, money, true thought, and creativity.
My niece and nephew are ahead of all lessons by working about 1 to 1.5 hours a day.
Homeschooling, especially in smaller groups, with online resources is far superior.
When my daughters were being home schooled, my younger sons were playing lego’s on the floor. They were like 3 and 6. My wife had to keep telling them to quit answering the older girls math questions.
The one who was six is now an aerospace engineer, so maybe the early math lessons helped him out.
I bet they did. School is terribly boring to intelligent kids. That’s when class clown or causing trouble after school can enter their lives.
This sort of outrage is happening everywhere, in blue as well as red states, big cities and small rural towns, thanks to the Left's control of the nation's ed schools and teachers' unions. If anyone doesn't believe me, just type "zero tolerance" in the FR search box, and you'll get thousands of hits.
