in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent"[1] refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, it is applied in two separate areas of the law.

First, it allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students' civil liberties.[1]

Second, this doctrine can provide a non-biological parent to be given the legal rights and responsibilities of a biological parent if they have held themselves out as the parent.[2]

I guess they are trying to apply that to virtual classrooms as well.

That does not preclude parent's presence.

Neonentity 20 points ago +20 / -0

In loco parentis implies the suborned position of the school vs the actual parent. The parent has primacy.

LadyOfLorien 8 points ago +8 / -0

Yeah, but it's almost entirely meant to be used in situations where the actual parent or parents are dead or unable to act. So, the school thing would be used if say, little Timmy was off at boarding school and had appendicitis while the parents were out of the country. The school could act in loco parentis and authorize emergency surgery. Or the non-biological parents would be used if mom had died and dad had remarried, but then died before they ever got around to signing adoption papers so she would be Tommy's official new mom. The state could say, "okay, new mom has held herself out to be the parent, so she gets legal recognition and Timmy won't go into the care of the state as an orphan."

The school could act in loco parentis and authorize emergency surgery.

This is almost exclusively why it exists for schools. In case of emergency when seconds matter, schools can't wait for parental approval for every action.

And if the school offers any kind of threat, write "this was signed under duress" on the signature line and then sign underneath. That phrase does WONDERFUL things when someone tries to enforce a contract.

In my school, you are not allowed to record teachers when learning online. Of course I know the fuckery because while I am in a red county, the teachers are ultra-left. That is the rule I will break to run down propaganda learning.

LiberTerrarium 18 points ago +19 / -1

Because the De Vos Department of Education says so in this FERPA guidance for schools Read slides 18-21. The De Vos Department of Education encourages schools and colleges to formally exclude everyone but the student. Yes, this also applies to private, charter, and religious schools.

This is the document most public schools are writing their virtual education protocols around to avoid lawsuits for FERPA and due process violations. The demands of placing virtual learning in place in such a short period of time cause school districts to take as many shortcuts as possible--including wholesale lifting policy from the DoE or other, larger districts.

A lot of pedes seem to think the DoE is changing under De Vos. Maybe it's time to start burning up their phone lines and/or getting this on Tucker.

11
Slice 11 points ago +11 / -0

I don't see a problem about this, they are worried about a kids personal information being shared. It focuses on Personal info and doesn't exclude people watching.

We may be good parents but alot of public schools have Democrat Pedophiles parents who want to know if little Jimmy is home alone doing his NTI work and maybe what little Jimmy's address is.

Maybe you forget that when rules are made, they have to try to include What the Dems do.

PinochetIsMyHero 7 points ago +7 / -0

when rules are made, they have to try to include What the Dems do.

No shit. Back in 2007 I dated a chick who was a hardcore leftie lawyer. She was constantly ranting about how evil the PATRIOT Act was. Her examples were completely leftarded though, all about "the right to privacy for terrorists to plan out their attacks" sort of nonsense.

Look, she had great tits, ok? Well, good tits anyway. Ok, just tits. Happy?!??!?

Anyway.

Fast forward to 2016 and the FISA abuse by Obama. Wow, I guess she was right -- but it took the Dems being in power to subvert and abuse the law to that extent.

That is in regards to protecting PII, not lessons plans. Elsewhere in the document it states that PII should be restricted to parents and students.

This doesn't have any basis on parents viewing online lessons, only 3rd parties who shouldn't have access to PII.

How ‘bout this: each course is completely recorded and downloaded for viewing after the session has finished?

I can see the over the shoulder monitoring getting in the way of learning, but parents have to see the whole curriculum and it’s delivery at will.

wiombims 3 points ago +3 / -0

Not very because your child doesn't go to school if you don't. You can't send your child to another school because you have to live in that district. So it's either this, homeschool your kids, or spend 45k on a private school. You're an average parent making 70k as a household and both parents have fulltime jobs. It's August 20th and school starts in a week. What do you think parents are going to do? Yeah, this is extremely insiduous and messed up and it makes me vomit that it's a Trump appointed department of education sending out guidelines to exclude parents from this process. It looks like we have A LOT more work to do this year than I imagined.

MAGAlikeLINCOLN 19 points ago +19 / -0

Cancel culture. They have the platform to frame you as an agitator. It is important to not disturb a class that is underway.

Write a nice letter to the teacher afterwards about the concern. If there is not a satisfactory reply write one to the administration. Keep it in writing. If still not satisfactory then it is time to amass the contact information of all the parents of the students in that class and write something (including the video recording and all letters to and from). Provide your phone number and talk to each parent who wants to talk with you. Reach out to those who haven't shown interest but just once politely. If there is a lot of strong support, ask people to sign a petition.

The school is like any organization. They will ignore you if they can. They will fight you if they can easily win. If the stink you create will hurt them more then the idea of telling the teacher to not propagandize then the indoctrination will stop.

If you ever wanted parents to monitor their kids classes, I can't think of a better way to do it than tell them not too. I don't care whether I signed a piece of paper of not I would be in that room. Then I would go over with my kid why the teacher is wrong.

Last year, I talked my church into becoming a Homeschool Cover Program which doesn’t offer instruction, but helps parents meet our State’s Law so they can teach according to THEIR child’s needs. For the past two weeks, I have been OVERRUN. I’m fielding 10-15 inquiries a day ALL from public school parents who are desperate to escape. I live in one of the friendliest states in the country when it comes to homeschooling but I’m already seeing changes. Now’s the time to pull your children from the public school portal to hell before these states get tired of losing close to $10k per student per year. The window to homeschool your child is quickly closing. Don’t wait. Do it NOW! (Anyone with questions, feel free to reach out.)

New legislation needs to be introduced that allows any student of a publicly funded school to record their teachers either via cellphone, tape recorder, or computer program. We need to start hitting back at these Maoist teachers or our children will be taught critical race theory, the ahistorical 1619 project, or that Communism will definitely work this time.

2
JiggsawCalrissian 2 points ago +2 / -0

When universities were about learning real things you were encouraged to record your classes because it would greatly help with studying and retaining info.

The angle of learning retention and studying would be the way to go with this. It's "all about kids" right?

2
wiombims 2 points ago +2 / -0

You're not there to learn. You're there to get a degree. Universities and schools all know that they could be 100% replaced by volunteers making youtube videos and exercise books that have entered the public domain already. This is why you're not allowed to record on campuses anymore. It's to protect Intellectual Property.

Gmama2 10 points ago +10 / -0

I could agree with parents not commenting during a lesson. Many people live in homes where it would be hard to not be in the same room as your child. Say family of 4 has a 2-bedroom apartment. If little sibling is napping, and mom or dad is in their bedroom on a work call then school aged kid is in the living area online.

Sounds classist to me. Sue.

Avykins 6 points ago +6 / -0

Okay, so I don't know if the US already has something similar to this, but if not then now is the perfect time for Papa T to organize a massive home schooling database. He has the power and he has access to some of the best educated people in the world, why not just set up entire years worth of education for home schooling with video lectures etc that are free for basic education and openly available and give parents the option of saying to hell with the indoctrination centers. Screw harvard or yale or every other lefty shit hole, you want a qualification in for example accounting, dl this pack, watch these lectures if you need help, answer these questions, show up once or twice a year for an exam and you are good to go. If its a trade then require them to get apprenticeships as well and do X number of hours. Govt certification. No BLM or gender study bullshit classes required. And since its mostly online, the stuff that did cost would still be dirt cheap.
