remember that those responsible for this lunacy have their kids and grandkids attending in person private school. and the moronic sheep are too fucking dumb to not see they hypocrisy. They think they are keeping their kids safe with worthless remote school while the leftist elites laugh at them. But dumb fucking parents are too dumb to actually take care of their kids begetting future dumb parents which is just what democrats cherish

This is sort of my sister in law. They have their daughter in private school (excellent choice btw) that has been open this entire school year. It’s open because the parents (ie the paying customers) were so pissed about it shutting down last April that the school basically didn’t have a choice.

But she goes to work and gets shamed by her coworkers for using her “white privilege” to secure her daughter a better education experience. She helped her workplace organize BLM support last year.

She was absolutely wracked with guilt, until her mom and mine both spent a few months talking sense into her. But she’s also one of these “if it only saves only life!” Covidians, so I think the discomfort over her hypocrisy is a healthy exercise for her.

I personally know a teacher who quit his job because his school was requiring him to come back in person to teach.

He sends his kids to school in person at the school in our neighborhood.

Not when you were already homeschooling. Our kids are doing great and they know the truth of the election steal.

Homeschooling is the way forward. People send their children to indoctrination camps for 12+ years and then wonder why their children become crazy leftists. Stop abandoning your responsibilities to someone who does not share your values.

Homeschooling is yet another example of something those "horrible boomers" paved the way for. When we started homeschooling our children 25+ years ago, it was still illegal in several states and we didn't know of any other family who was doing it.

I wouldn't associate sacrificing for their children with the majority of boomers but there were definitely some good boomers who did right by their children. Homeschooling was illegal at one time and to stand up to that and have the other side back down is very impressive, and I appreciate those that fought to make it happen.

Don't take it to heart. It's okay to be a boomer when you're a boomer and if you're dealing with a jerk, the answer is "ok, commie". Every generation passed on marxist collectivist bullshit to the next. That's part of the reason we're in this mess.

I just worked with a kid who became suicidal and was hospitalized. The school shutdown and isolation was a major contributing factor.

Lots of pressure to betray your values! I definitely have to be selective about when to speak up.

I can't do it. I drag my feet when somebody wants me to cheerlead their child into transness. I just tell them that according to my licensure, any "trans" issues are by definition not a mental health thing. Anxiety, depression, yes. Trans issues have specific legal protection that puts that issue into a category I am forbidden by law from addressing.

God bless you. Helping kids right now is crucial to their health.

2
Based_psychologist 2 points ago +2 / -0

Thanks! Technically I was working with the parent, but especially with younger kids the parents are a central part of the system of health or dysfunction. Parents aren’t doing well right now, and the trickle down effect is real.

Isolation maybe.

Particularly when they have been told over and over to open up.

Note and remember between the Russia hoax and re-opening schools how the Democrats have created a false narrative and pandered for political advantage.

They have corrupted the entire justice system and are now taking it a step further with equity instead of equality.

No society will survive without equality.

Our governments must be STRIPPED OF THE ABILITY to declare pandemics, force home confinement, restrict movement, order medical treatment, and anything else we can take away from those fuckers.

Slash the budgets, destroy the pension system completely and give all the money back to the People.

Take their pensions and give them nothing back.

There was NEVER a legitimate reason to close schools since we KNEW at the very start that children were not getting sick and were not spreading illness. We knew it from the start! It's pure evil. Seriously. It's not done because of stupidity or "an over-abundance of caution". It's pure unadulterated evil. It's hard to wrap your brain around really how corrupt government really is at all levels.

Tl;Dr: I don't disagree with you. Here's the problem: if you asked a healthcare professional that in march, they COULDN'T authoritatively tell you that.

<mini rant> But of course, we don't know kids don't spread it because they do. They get it, they spread it, just to a much muuuuch lower degree than the rest of the population (which already only gets this at a rate of 30%). Let me tell you something scarier for your children, if not for you. That "loss of smell from one nostril" isn't from the nostril. Yeah, that's right ... IT'S FUCKING BRAIN DAMAGE. It's no different than if someone shoved an icepick through your eyesocket or bounced a 22 short in your brain and you went "agh, doc, I can't no smell so good no more". Don't freak out but read my rant and understand the situation. I'm not telling you to mask up or force vaccinations or anything, just ... understand.

<rant> Here's something you MAY not know ... (and I apologize if I'm sounding like I'm attacking you, I'm not and I don't even disagree with your sentiment, I just want you to know) ... this chinese herpes bullshit (not the clinical term) HIDES IN YOUR FUCKING BRAIN (yes, just like herpes). It's also an engineered bioweapon with HIV INSERTIONS. I don't have to remind you that HIV is highly mutable and those inserts are one of the reasons it mutates like a game of go but I will. You may not know what an insertion is so let me break off on a tangent here. In order to genetically engineer an organism, you use genetic tools. Those genetic tools are like a key that "unzips" the genetic material at the point where your key is. Then, with the genetic payload you want to express in the genetically modified organism, you attach that payload (that has a matching component to your key) where the key unzipped the genome. You then zip everything back up and your new GM (genetically modified) organism expressed whatever your payload is. Insertions are somewhat hard to find so there aren't a whole lot of these keys. But once you have ONE of these keys, you can put almost ANYTHING in there. I'll repeat that again so it sinks in: ALMOST ANY GENETIC INFORMATION. Yes, that means exactly what you think it means. Think of the most fucked up pathogens you can remember, the worst outbreaks, the hardest to deal with diseases, scifi bullshit you read in some sex-starved fanfic. You can put in all sorts of timing mechanisms in the payload. You can even modify the payload or "activate it" after it's spread throughout the population already as a completely harmless virus. So let me paint a worst-case scenario for you. 30% of the world is infected with a virus that hides in YOUR MOTHERFUCKING BRAIN (and this includes some of your KIDS). Now the chinese activate a lethal component of the virus. We got lucky. Intelligence agencies probably got their hands on this virus, sequenced it and saw that it was exactly what it was ... a nasty version of he flu. You SHOULD have had an over-abundance of caution for this shit. You SHOULD have cut off china and threatened to spew nuclear hellfire on them if they so much as sent out ONE plane from their country until they contained this covid bullshit. And the pure evil wastes of oxygen who let this shit out should be purged from the earth while their names live in granite obelisks for eternity in shame. And the people in governments around the world (including our own) who cooperated with this scamdemic government over-reach and failed to respond proportionally to this bioweapon shouldn't be treated much better.

I agree that there was panic and overreaction in March 2020. But the data became very clear very quickly over the next months that children up through young adults were virtually unaffected by the SARS-CoV-2 . They weren't getting sick and therefore were not spreaders. The whole "asymptomatic" spreader scam was a lie. And yet even today schools still make kids distance and wear masks and remote school even though we KNOW through every objective measure available to us that none of these things are remotely necessary to protect public health. We did not "save" the children or anyone else by closing schools and shutting down all school activities.

Don't get mad at what I'm about to tell you.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-in-babies-and-children/art-20484405 13% of covid cases are "children"

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/children/symptoms.html

I repeat, again, In bold letters BRAIN DAMAGE. I'm not telling you to send or not send your kids to school or react in one way or another. But whatever choice you make, you will do it informed. For the record, you should always take anything the cdc says with a bucket of salt and you should keep a skeptical eye even on the mayo clinic but I can assure you they're right on this matter. If you had kids and you were looking at a 1 in 10 chance your kid came back with a 22 short in their skull, you'd take what I'm telling you seriously. This brain damage may be minor and kids are very adaptable anyway (they change half their brain in a couple years during puberty) so the point may be moot but read what I'm providing you and take this information as coming from someone who WOULD give you the choice to send your child to school no matter what.

Eh...

  • communist indoctrination vs stuck at home with parents...

They are still pushing the indoctrination only now they're doing it remotely.

The fact that Republicans aren’t treating this as if it is the most important issue in the world just shows you how dumb they are. This is the easiest political victory in history. I’m in a deep blue area and parents here are furious at Democrats for not allowing schools to be open.

And just like that, conservatives & libertarians are not only supporting, but literally demanding, that the government indoctrinate their children.

The up side is the huge number of parents and children who have figured out that they actually don't need to use their local public schools. A single mom friend of mine took her second-grade daughter out of her public elementary school, due to a combination of the on-again-off-again in-person attendance schedule and the annoying mask mandate. Grandmother watches the kids (2 not old enough for school yet) while mom works, and the second-grader happily says "I'm homeschooling now!" I think she may be using state-provided materials, but the amount of time spent, and who the girl associates with is under family control, and the content is getting much more family attention than when the girl was attending the school in person. If they decide to stick with homeschooling (as I expect a significant percentage of families will), they'll probably progress to investigating non-state curriculum options.

Not going to indoctrination camps is bad for children?

I don’t buy this, schools are a joke. I have extraordinary doubts that the government does a better job of Child rearing than parents do.

Maybe some parents are realizing that their kids have problems now that they actually spend time with their kids.

Maybe some of these kids are getting help that they should’ve had years ago when no one paid attention to them or gave a shit.

Maybe the government realized the homeschooling cat is out of the bag and wants to have a bunch of articles published that show how important the government is to the life of children.

I’m so sick of conservatives sticking their neck out for these liberal school districts. It’s fucking disgusting.

Schools are a marxist breeding ground. Home school your kids. Dont allow them to teach your kids to be trans, hate themselves, and to hate each other.

MAGAThor 2 points ago +3 / -1

Schools have had MUCH WORSE effect on their mental health. Use dance, karate, gymnastics, sports & play dates for families to socialize instead. KEEP YOUR KIDS OUT OF THE LEFTIST INDOCTRINATION BUILDINGS. COUNT the reasons. Drugs, leftist propaganda/“teachers”, good teachers & children who get shot by leftist offspring, your good kids mixing in with bad kids who turn them against you. ENOUGH of the democrat-like “save the children” shit. Save your kids FROM the fucking schools. PERIOD.

Let's just replace 'School Shutdowns' with 'State-run Schools'

State-run Schools should never be allowed to happen again! State-run School Have Had Devastating Impact on Students’ Mental Health

There we go, that's better

Homeschools never shutdown. Anyone on here banging the "do something" drum, who is not homeschooling their children, needs to reevaluate their commitment.

Thedaythe_redditdied 2 points ago +2 / -0

Never should have happened in the first place. But with minimal push back we just showed the leaders that given enough unfounded fear we will give up any freedom.

wiombims 2 points ago +2 / -0

I'm going to say this so it's clear to everyone: this virus is like a bad flu but it's a BIOWEAPON. The science has stayed the same about airborne pathogens for 100 years and should have been handled according to that, without giving up freedoms, in response to rational fear.

My words are muddled by the hatred I have for these fine folks. Reading stories of elected officials sending their kids to in person private schools to teachers union’s far fetched demands to my own 17yr old son’s mental health. I hate them all. Forgiveness is mine to work on.

If you think the public education system in America is the thing that prepares children for a future career you are very unaware of the American public education system.

Homeschool.

I know everyone can’t do it. But my wife and I sacrificed. We don’t have cable. We cook our meals at home. We don’t have assloads of recurring memberships. We raise quail in our yard for eggs and meat to lower grocery costs. In the spring our garden will help bring those costs down even further.

With all of those sacrifices, we are able to go down to just my income. She stays home and homeschools our kids with the help of abeka.

It’s not easy, but when you sacrifice, you can take care of your own. The only thing that my kids know about covid is that a bunch of lunatics are what we call “screen slavered”. Their learning never stopped. They see their friends. This was barely a blip. They know we are different and they’re proud of it.

Be a rebel. Start a family. Sacrifice for that family.
