Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:my friends homeschool. Smartest kids for their age.
Best thing you can do for your child if it feasible.
Quoted from gambit3113:Are they smart because they think contrails are real and fluoride controls the masses?
You have actually jumped the shark now. I am going to speculate that your comments now are geared towards attention getting. You down vote my comment about home schooling, now you are suggesting that kids that are home schooled, are being fed the theories that are probably swimming around your noggin.
Quoted from ThatOneDude:You downvoted one of mine for....?
Mistake. Yours was right at gambits.
Quoted from gambit3113:Look up at the purple picture posted above. It wasn’t referencing you. But whatever. Cool.
Lol, I just saw the purple... I have 5 teachers union members down voting me now..
Quoted from Brainiac:My wife was a middle school teacher years back. She quit since she didn't have to do it, and the schools she worked didn't have parental involvement.
I'm big on education since I'm a first gen immigrant and school has let me become successful.
So, the teacher is trying to get kids to participate, and he/she believes this is one way of doing it. The kids are going to be exposed to these things anyway, but as long as you have shown them the way you see fit, then they will follow. However, I would just send a message to the teacher and voice your concerns.
We would. But haven't had to for something like this, OP. And my wife will escalate it to the school board member of our district if she wanted (she has before). Some may call her a Karen, but she's not going to let our kids be subject to any potentially negative influences while she's their parent and control what exposures they receive.
Amen! The parent(s) absolutely should be the controller, of what their children receive, in school or out. If they don't they are not worthy of being parents IMHO.
Quoted from jeffro01:Yikes... You are in a lean right politically dominate environment here on pinside and you're championing a 50-50 result as some sort of validation? In MY opinion (and it's just that, an opinion), you are not qualified to question your children's educators and unless it's something egregiously obvious like holding slave auctions (google it). You should stay in your lane. I get that being qualified these days seems to no longer matter but it still does.
Jeff
Your opinion that a parent is not qualified to question your children's educators unless it is egregious(I assume there is nothing short of slave auctions that you consider egregious) is not one that I agree with.
Quoted from jeffro01:Fair enough, we can disagree. I don't believe in this idea that everyone has to agree on everything to get along, be social, even be friends. This idea that's become pervasive in this country that we all must agree on everything to get along on anything is simply, wrong.
Jeff
This I agree with 100%!
Quoted from Darscot:It's not a disagreement its ignorant dangerous bullshit that is the plaque of society. Yeah that shit needs to be fucking deleted. If people promote rape would just be like hey don't talk like that around women they don't agree with you. I need to take a break from this place.
Looks like your proclamation about taking a break from this place was just an empty threat.
