Here’s my thought for the day: “Man, he said, does not behave as his Creator intended him to. Therefore, laws have to laid down to govern his behavior.” What does society do when mankind does not behave as his Creator intended him to, and also does not follow the laws created to govern his behavior? Too heavy for this early in the morning, I’ve got to go check on cattle.
By the time you get the key or punch in the combination to the safe the intruder has shot 4 or 5 students and maybe the person trying to open the safe. Here in Florida we have possibly armed staff and teachers in the saner counties. We do not have any more problems with violence. We don’t have violence where it is known that any given teacher or secretary might be armed. No teacher has shot her black students yet. Faculty types do not flaunt and do keep their weapons concealed if they are carrying. All are urged to get trained.
Its is not the color of the skin, its the culture.
Indeed!
Exactly. Parents - even supposedly conservative Republicans - looooove public schools.
Even if the teachers must be armed to protect the students, the parents keep sending them there.
Maybe they should keep their inner animal in check.

The problem is that homeschooling requires a full paradigm shift. Unless you have limited resources there is a sizable investment of time and money. Many parents, no matter their political bent, are afraid to give up their lifestyle to have at least one parent at home dedicated to teaching the kids. I know it sounds callus, but it is often true that lifestyle wins out. And the kids are OK with that too.
“Just as unarmed Black people are disproportionately victimized by police in communities,”
Sorry honey but that ended when the democrats lost the south.
Yes, it takes time and some money. Not a sizeable amount of money though. We did it with only mr. mm working. And there are MANY ways of saving money with mom staying at home.
I guess it depends on how much you think your kids are worth and what’s really important to you.
We did it on my income alone. Finished HS 5 yrs ago. Lowered our expectations of lifestyle. You have to be able to accept that there will be things that you will need to put off, at least until the kids are done with school. But after 18 yrs of homeschooling, you learn to live a simpler lifestyle. Still do.
We did, too.
But you can save a lot of money without the expenses the second income generate in the form of extra gas usage, clothes for work and last, convenience food for the nights you’re too tired to cook, but far from least, child care.
And that’s just a a start.
