Good for you! My daughter and son in law just made the same decision. Kids are 10 and 8. They're already ahead of the grade level just from my daughter teaching them for the last few months of the school year.

My daughter was on the fence about homeschooling until her kids were doing virtual learning. After seeing the amount of wasted time in a school day, not to mention the dreck her children were learning (and this a school in a very conservative area), she said that's it. So homeschool it is. No lessons from the school, makes the curriculum herself. I told her her kids could be doing college level work by fourteen.

Frankly if they've bought any of her garbage they don't deserve refunds.

No

Unpopular opinion but I totally agree.

Yes. Happened in NJ. I remember it, I think she was eleven or twelve years old and the boys that killed her were her "friends".

I had a patient spit the meds I'd just given here right back in my face. Good thing they were in applesauce (not). I told her I'd just chart it as "refused med".

I'm always surprised when I read this sort of thing. As an LPN I work in long term care and can tell you I have not a minute to spare on drama. I'm on my feet from the time I punch in until my shift is nearly over and I'm doing my notes. No one I work with has time for nonsense either. Not that I don't believe it happens, I've just never seen it. When you have med pass for 30 plus patients there's barely time for a pee break.

I'm an LPN, I think we tend to be more down to earth (and somewhat looked down on by the BSN types). I don't care I love my job and most of the nurses I work with. Nearly all LPN, and a few RNs who started out LPN.

Same. Been stepping it up lately because I just feel danger in the air.

I agree. After listening to Kennedy's speech regarding the CIA and the need to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds", I honestly don't know how he couldn't see the danger he was in.

I hope President Trump has the protection of not only the White Hats, but also God himself.

Right? Apparently they don't though. I had friends growing up that I would describe as "girly girls". One of them fit it perfectly. She nearly always wore dresses, excelled at dance, had a great doll collection and truly hated getting dirty.

I remember that well. When the free formula ran out the women started adding water to it. Enough water added and formula no longer has any nutritional value. Even though I was a member of LeLeche (a breastfeeding organization), I used to chuckle at their nearly militant attitude about "breast is best". They were right though, and breast is definitely best for poor women in third world countries. Lots of babies died but Nestle made at least some money on it because that's the most thing right?

As a Christian, mother and grandmother, I can't even. Seriously.

I didn't know that. That's hilarious! Scooping them up in mom's old cars. No tendies though.

That's so sad. i was a "tomboy" growing up. I largely attribute that to the fact that my older sibling is male and we're close in age. I loved sports, tree climbing, collecting frogs and turtles, fishing and getting as dirty as possible when playing outdoors. I thank God I had good parents and there was no gender reassignment back then.

I've always felt he was in his mid to late twenties. Not a teenager.

They'll just take it to the streets. They'll have more time for violence as well because the really violent kids have no interest in school anyway, and now they'll have tons of free time.

Hmm, not sure I agree with that. Pre-K has only been a thing for about 30 years. Before that kids socialized with their siblings and neighborhood kids. I know this from my own experience raising children. However, I also know that things have changed. A lot. When I was raising my children, where I lived most of us were stay at home moms. We had time to get our kids together for play time (we didn't have playdates, that would have meant coordinating). Instead they just roamed from yard to yard gathering up friends, playing in every place they could and just generally figuring out to to be a person. So us stay at home moms, nearly the last of our breed, spent time with each other, with our kids, in our churches and community places and raised our children to adulthood without two jobs and huge houses.We were not poor but lived modestly and shared our values. Sorry to see that time disappear.

"children are not driving the pandemic". Of course not, the MSM are driving the pandemic.

Genius idea. Therefore it can never happen : (

I'm a nurse and needless to say my view of this Hoax is not well accepted by my peers. There is some pretty open hostility, but oh well, I don't give a crap. I give a crap about the future because I have children and grandchildren.

same. Minus the drag racing unfortunately.

They didn't die because apparently they are immune to the Kung Flu while all teachers are apparently incredibly susceptible. In other words; science.

People can make the primary grades "live" right in their own homes. Teaching your own two or three or however many children is great for the kids. They're not competing with 20 or so other children for the teacher's attention. The real "no child left behind" way to do it.
