Simplest solution...just remove your kid from the public school system (go to home-schooling). Once you get around 30-percent of the kids out, and start dismissing teachers because you don’t need them, someone in the ‘system’ will ask why are we still taxing people at such-and-such rate, if you only need 70-percent of the revenue fund. The chaos just doubles at that point.
Boom.
It’s easy to say that, but the reality for many parents is that they don’t have that option. Many don’t know anyone who home-schools and have no idea how to go about it…or don’t feel that they know enough themselves to teach…or live in states hostile to it, or can’t afford to have one parent or often the single parent stay home with the kids. They shouldn’t be scolded for this or treated with a breezy, “It’s simple,” because it’s not.
Some parents may have the option of sending their kids to a private or religious school that might be better (because they are generally non-union) but others do not. In Florida, the state will provide some assistance to parents who have had to remove their children from school because of masks, etc. but that’s pretty exceptional. So a lot of families are really stuck with that, and if they just stop sending them at all, they risk getting a visit from child protective services and having their kids taken away. It has happened.
What they’ve got to do is fight back, not just with fistfights in the parking lots, but with lawyers. They should see if they can find somebody interested in representing them on a pro-bono basis to challenge this policy, particularly since it was revealed yesterday that Fauci, who dreamed this up, was in heavy correspondence with the teachers union and I think Randy Weingarten herself over this very issue. The teachers union, probably in a last bid not to have teachers have to go back into the classroom, has been lobbying for mandatory masking, and Fauci agreed to do this at their behest. So it has nothing to do with “science” but is a favor to a useless bunch of hacks who are very powerful and huge founders of the Dem Party.
And as for the idea that they’ll be dismissed…never. It is virtually impossible for teachers who are members of the teachers union to lose their jobs, and positions are never reduced no matter how little money is coming into the city treasuries. What teachers are looking for now is a way to do as little as possible in those jobs, since they got used to sitting at home for a year, pretending to teach on line. They like this masking stuff because, aside from reducing the number of children who go to school in the first place, it keeps the little so-and-sos quiet, muffled up, sleepy from lack of oxygen, and generally much easier to ignore. Plus it annoys the parents. What more could a unionized public school teacher want?
I think the solution is to fight back.
Home school bump.
Public schools are child abuse.
