The “public school” is BY FAR, the largest, most expensive, most subversive, and most destructive entitlement program in the country.
The “public school” is better understood as the “government school collective”.
It is silly to imagine that you can fix the public schools, because the very concept itself is communist.
Any child that comes out of the government school collective with their moral compass and common sense intact does so in spite of the government school indoctrination, not because of it.
If you want to win the culture war, have lots of children (see my tagline) and homeschool them or form your own school cooperative with your church or synagogue and like-minded friends and relatives.
Nobody loves your children more than you do.
Nobody can teach your children like you can.
Your children would love nothing better than to be taught by you, if you start doing so before they are corrupted by the government school collective.
It is hypocritical for you to submit your children to an authority with whom you fundamentally disagree. And your children will know it.
If you have children, make whatever sacrifices you must to get them out of the public schools.
DO NOT FEED THE BEAST!
Especially not with your own children.
I think the key here is with out parental notification. I remember in the fifties when I was in school we had city wide disaster (they were actually nuclear) drills where we would practise evacuating everyone. These were the hot days of the cold war and we were very near a possible ground zero. It was almost as good as a snow day but not quite. Because everyone was involved parents knew a) their children would be sent to a particular location and b) they had to show up at a particular location as well. These didn’t happen all that often but they were a stark reminder of the risks involved in living.
I’m sorry, but what kind of drill is this? What kind of emergency allows enough time to arrange bus transportation, but not enough time to notify parents?
Nothing to see here folks move along, just practicing for when there is martial law
The irony of this discussion is that I have to fill out a detailed list of “allowed to pick up my kid” trusted individuals with the school and daycare. I get 3, maybe 4, spots for that category because I must enter the person’s name, address and phone number. I’ve had to call the school before to say that someone else like my brother can pick them up because a grandparent isn’t available. And they must call me and get my permission if someone other than that list is there to pick them up AND have to call me if the kid has to go to an ER.
Yet a stranger could do so under this “drill”, without telling me and without me knowing who. Anyone claiming to be a bureaucrat could take kids and do anything.
Waving a badge and claiming official business has more privileges than family members I authorize - or the parents themselves.
They CANNOT be allowed to take kids from where I expect them to be without my consent, much less my knowledge.
The worst daycare I ever used CALLED me when there was a fire and they couldn’t go to the planned evacuation point - so the kids were across the street instead of next door. But the public school claims the right to cart kids in buses, not tell anyone where and not have the right to say where?
bump
Remember the government now considers themselves “co-parents”.
In the times we live in, I see a far more sinister purpose for this “emergency drill”.
This emergency drill is performed EVERY DAY when school lets out, and hundreds get on school busses to go home, without incident.
The lack of parental notification was deliberate, not an oversight.
If you want to keep a bunch of adults under control , the government can just separate you from your kids under some pretense, and then you will do what you are told.
The superintendent of this district should be fired. He created a huge insurance liabilty for the district, and it is a good thing there was not a vehicular or personal accident.He is just too stupid, or indoctrinated, to be given the charge of other people’s children.
The whole notion of this drill is specious at best.
I don’t have a problem with this so long as they are carting them and their parents back to their legal country.
As a matter of fact, I do. She is lying in bed next to me under our warm electric blanket while we do her school work. We started the day with a beautiful prayer. In the cesspool world of government education I would do whatever it took to teach my kids this way.
Reason number 627 to immediately remove your kids from government schools. Homeschool them or send them to a private school.
We are rapidly approaching the point where sending your kids to government schools could be considered child abuse.
If there is an emergency at my kid’s school, I fully hope AND expect the school to make EVERY effort to protect my children should I not be able to get there.
If that means transporting them to a local OR long distance location that offers safety, with OR without my permission...so be it.
I would also appreciate that the school’s admin is PRACTICING this maneuver so their efforts, in a true emergency, would go smoothly.
What’s the alternative? The school staff drops everything and runs...leaving the kids behind?
All your kids are belong to us.
Just this morning my daughter was informed, after indicating she was going to home school her son, that she had to have a four year degree first. She was told it was state law, high school diploma to teach K-6th, Baccalaureate to teach 7th - 12th.
Why do some children never believe their parents?
I dunno what all the fuss is about.../sarc
The children probably learned more that day on the road than in the school in the first place...
Of course the district, and those who planned this event were doing so by higher authority to test how far and what the reaction would be for them to take this this far...
Wonder how much it cost the disctrict in gas money and extra time for the buss drivers and staff to stupervise the children...
“YOU SPENT HOW MUCH???”
I wonder if anyone (in that community) has the courage to ask the district that question???
Be good to know...
fer later
lockdowns and transports. I’m thinking very suspicious
thoughts. I realized a while back that isolating children
from parents has been a policy of schools well before
the 1970s. “Consolidation” being the keyword back then;
I don’t recall it, but people I know do.
They could take all the kids to the FEMA camps before the parents had a clue. Some of those camps do have playground equipment .
I am wondering if someone can make a legal issue out of this, considering the fact that schools require permission slips for so many other things...
