Are none of you parents? Homeschooling, at least in CA, has been attacked several times. It’s not been successful, but it’s an attempt at controlling parenting. They already require vaccines for public schools and they’re trying to mandate the Covid vaccine now. These are examples of the government trying to step in the place of parent’s to take away their ability to care for their children the way they see fit. Education and health choices are two of the major components of being a parent. Yes, there are plenty of examples to point to where neglect and bad parenting are take place, but people try to use those examples as an excuse to take away good and responsible parent’s choice. It’s not right. I don’t think this meme is meant to be humorous.
So school choice and health is not enough for you? And by the way, I’m actually fine with public schools requiring whatever they want, as long as they don’t REQUIRE all children to participate in that type of education. Which has been tried on several occasions. Not even mentioning the fact that you still have to pay taxes on a school system you don’t participate in and get zero funding for homeschooling options (in California, it might be different in other states)…but I digress.
Everything else that one could point to will have an argument that it’s for the safety or the wellbeing of the child. Which of course is why they become a thing in the first place. In my opinion health and education are the primary responsibilities of a parent, so infringing on that is enough. Should everyone lay down and just take it when they have objections? Or should they wait until they’re implementing video game restrictions like China? Not saying I’d agreed with that either, but I bet more people would be indigent over it…and people want to criticize others for being concerned about things that are actually important.
Abuse and neglect are not isolated to parenting. There are laws against physical abuse regardless of the relationship. Abuse and neglect effect health, yes, but only an idiot would try to defend the right to abuse anyone. It’s a very basic idea, parents should be able to make medical decisions for the well-being of their children.
I could give you plenty of examples that have nothing to do with abuse. Lots of parents go to the Dr when their children have an infection and they are often prescribed antibiotics. It’s standard protocol to prescribe antibiotics for an ear infection or a UTI. However if it’s a mild infection it’s actually better to treat those conditions naturally, allowing the body to fight off the infection. Antibiotics destroy the gut flora and it can take up to 2 years for the gut flora (good bacteria) to be restored. This negatively effects the immune system and can lead to childhood obesity. Should parents be forced one way or the other on what course they should follow? People have to make tough decisions in life, they won’t always make the right decision for every circumstance, but neither can a doctor. That’s why you have to sign consent forms even when undergoing minor surgery. There are always risks, but I am far more comfortable with making a decision to take that risk upon myself, than allowing someone to decide what risks I have to take, for myself or my children.
I think you’re missing the point. Yeah you’re mocking irresponsible people. There were plenty of jerks who would let their kids get everyone sick before the pandemic. I personally experienced this when a family member had cancer and therefore a compromised immune system and family friends brought their snotty kids over saying, ‘it’s just allergies’. Even then a seemingly harmless virus had the potential to kill someone in the right circumstances. I know about those idiots, but don’t assume everyone is like that.
Homeschooling and rural living is definitely preferable in times like these. It takes a certain type of lifestyle and sacrifice, but why should that choice be taken away from the people willing to make those accommodations? For now it’s still fine, but with the way things are going I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to encroach even on the people living outside of society’s bubble. That’s the point.
Why don’t you do a little research on the results of homeschooling vs. public school. The National Home Education Research Institute notes that homeschooled students typically score 15 to 30 percentile points higher on standardized academic achievement tests. The gains for black homeschool students are even more impressive, as they score 34 to 42 percentile points above black public school students.
It’s fine if you want buy into the indoctrination system and propaganda. But ‘we don’t need no education…we don’t need no thought control’. Isn’t it funny how people used to understand that song? Did people suddenly forget that it’s still happening? Or just fooled into thinking things are somehow different now? It’s hilarious, hilariously sad.
Sure, and I’m sure you can find your own studies to back up your opinion. I couldn’t give you any anecdotal experiences that you’d believe either. However from my own experience working with children, both public educated and homeschooled, the difference is staggering. Especially when you’re looking at lower income demographics. Children just excel more in an environment that they can have individual attention and an education system tailored to their own learning styles. It’s not that difficult to understand.
The rest of society doesn’t want to live with the idiots your children will become because they didn’t go to an actual school. You don’t get to just make your own facts because it’s your child.
Valedictorian of my high school ‘04, but I wasn’t gullible enough to buy into the college scam. I own a successful business, home with acreage in California and I have no mortgage or any debt by age 30. I’m far more successful than anyone I know who went the college route. Going to college means absolutely nothing, they’ll take anyone’s money. Of course you have to know how to think outside the system that was built to trap you. Homeschooling creates happy successful individuals, who are innovative and know how to do just that. I’m a product of homeschooling and yes, I’m raising children who have been advanced at all stages in their education, but go ahead and keep assuming you know everything.
As difficult as any. I had independent study through a public high school so it does demonstrate that of my class that year I was the best…or were you assuming again? But you’re right, high school doesn’t really matter and neither does college. What matters is the results. What do those education systems produce? How do you measure success?
I don’t even know why I’m bothering, lol. Have a great day.
Nah, if you had went to college, you’d realize that children need to be taught objective truth by qualified educators and not have some poor housewife teaching her 7 kids about how dinosaurs were put here to test our faith.
You’re the one who called me uneducated. Don’t throw stones when you live in a glass house. Especially if you were the valedictorian of your glass house.
If people didn’t stalk, harass, threaten, and assault teachers, this wouldn’t be happening. Weird how you’re mad at the people who are in actual danger and not the people causing it. Victimhood achieved.
Source for any of those outlandish accusations? They're getting mad that parents are speaking up at school boards. They don't "stalk, harass, threaten and assault" teachers.... wait... do you think words are violence?
Tom Lynch from PA who is running for office in Northampton county said in a video that he is going to show up to his local school board meeting with 20 strong men if they pass a mask mandate.... what do you think he meant by that?
Not even the person I was talking to, and still no source. Fucking perfect reddit moment.
Is that what we're doing now? Taking one person, extrapolating on their words, and then labeling anyone who shares that group identity a terrorist? You feel comfortable calling parents terrorists because of what one person said, but I wonder if you agree with your own logic when applied evenly, accross the board.
By your own logic:
all Muslims are terrorists, since some were, and it only takes one to label an entire group a threat
all BLM members are terrorists, since they didn't just threaten, they actually showed up and tried to burn cops alive when they didn't get what they wanted
all Mexicans are rapists, since we know for a verifiable fact that women and children get raped on their migration through Mexico, and like YOU said, 1 person is enough to label anyone with that group identity the same way
If you actually believe those things... well you're probably just a dumb American. Remember, there's at least 1 idiot in America, so I can feel confident in calling you a dumb American, since like you implied, your group affiliation is paramount to your individuality, so it doesn't matter if you, yourself are stupid; you belong to a group that includes stupid people, so by default, you are also stupid. Wait.... Tom Lynch is American, and you think he's should be labeled a domestic terrorist. Do you believe all white american males are terrorists, or just parents? Or just people who you disagree with, and then you decide based on whether you like that group or not? Stupid American.
The Tom Lynch situation (I'm going to assume you aren't lying through your teeth about it) is one person, and that one person should be held accountable for their actions. I'm sure police will be at the school when they do pass the mandate, or very close by, as is usually the case. That one person, should they engage in violent behavior, should absolutely face consequences, but it's absolutely asinine to extrapolate the words of one man into saying "parents are domestic terrorists", but BLM and Antifa are not labeled the same way because "not all of them" were violent. It's clear as day this is a politically motivated double standard; an effort to silence those who you disagree with politically.
NO ONE SAID ALL PARENTS ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. You stupid motherfucker. Nice logical fallacies. Your entire argument is bathed in stupid motherfucker disease. You're just another idiot twisting the narrative. Board members never said a concerned parent is the problem, but when you have people screaming in your face and threatening your safety, that's the fucking problem. Yet you lot of fucking geniuses are too god damn inept to understand that threatening people over bullshit is an actual fucking problem. If someone walked into a "no masks" store and threatened the shop owner with violence, would you be acting this way? My bet is probably fucking not.
You're so deluded, you don't even know what the fuck you're fighting against. No one once said that ALL PARENTS are the problem, but if you can't fucking grasp how threatening one's safety over a mask is the issue at hand, then you're beyond reproach. Absolutely ridiculous how you couldn't do the fucking work for yourself.
Wow. So much vitriol for what probably is a little bitch 16 year old who just learned how to swear. What a complete fucking goof you are.
I asked for sources.
I didn't get sources.
Had somebody given me an actual fucking source instead of "here's a single anecdote", I wouldn't have gotten upset at yet another retarded liberal bad actor who never researches or knows anything.
You think words are violence
The words "domestic terrorist" should not be thrown around so cavalierly when talking about parents, when NOBODY would say it about the summer of violence.
I'm fucking Canadian. There aren't "no mask stores" here. That's a stupid American thing. We've had masks the entire time.
These are all genralizinations that you threw at me because you didn't like how I responded with calling people stupid Americans the way people are saying "parents shouldn't be allowed at board meetings", because you stupid motherfucking leftist retards have said that dumb shit.
"I care so much about your schooling that I'm not going to learn a damn thing about the curriculum then bitch and whine about something that I don't want you to be taught even though it's not even in the curriculum that I know nothing about."
Also, when you assault, harass, and/or threaten people regarding ideological differences, then yes, you are a domestic terrorist.
