Desantis Protect Parental Rights in Education

[WuWei]

Headcounts are down at public schools. Now budgets are too.

Families opting for homeschooling, private schools and other options sent enrollment down sharply in the first full school year of the pandemic, and generally it has been slow to recover.

Let’s Go 'Murica!

Schools instill discipline all day long.

And discipline doesn’t REQUIRE threats, though they are often used.

But school threats would include:
detention
removal from sports teams or activities
grade demotion
expulsion
Removal from class
Extra homework
Grade demotion

All sorts of things…

Exactly. It’s not just the parents.

What a weird hill to die on

[WuWei]

Oh but…

Amid the upheaval, some states have gained students. Florida was among the leaders, according to the data-tracking site Burbio. And some districts’ headcounts benefited from new families, including some who moved to less costly areas as work went virtual.

Exactly. It’s not just the parents.

Ah but it is…

detention
removal from sports teams or activities - home
grade demotion - another year at home
expulsion - home
Removal from class - home
Extra homework
Grade demotion - another year at home.

In ever case but one, home with the parents.

Huh?

Detention =/= 'home with the parents.

Neither is class or grade demotion
Neither is removal from sports teams.

If you get kicked off a team, you don’t have to go home.

If your grade goes from a b to a c, you don’t have to go home.

This is bizarre.

and why does that mater anyway?

Attention getter for parents.

[WuWei]

Excellent law! Just excellent. Crit is cringe!

[tnt]

How does academic probation send you home?

And anyway, who cares?? Some parents wouldn’t care at all about these things. ut the student might.

3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

My favorite clause.

When a parent decides black people are inferior, then what?

So what?

And when a teacher tells that kid, 'no, you can’t call your classmate a ■■■■■■, despite what your parents say," then what?

And when a teacher says “no, the square root of 2 is not 1, despite what your parents say,” then what?

I’d tell the parent to sit in a 5th grade math class and learn something.

Math is racist. We can’t do that.

‘No Politics’ Public School In Colorado Sees Huge Growth In Just One Year

It’s a no-politics public school designed and overseen by local parents, opened in just one year of intense planning and work. These past seven months have seen this public contract school grow and flourish, despite many challenges.

Yee haw!

@party-free

Think very hard on this. People want to punish teachers because their kids trust teachers more than they trust their parents. This is a testament to parenting in America, not teachers.

Identifying this problem is important.

The harder part, is how to address it.

Some will say…government needs to stay out of it…

But as a democratic republic, we are the government. So, do we just accept this? And just accept there will always be a % parents that are not necessarily “bad” parents (abuse etc), but are too busy., too see absorbed, or just not capable of being there for their kids?

I do not know the answer, but doing nothing as a society…facilitated by local, state and federal government is something that should be considered.

I know there will be a loud, minority that hates any kind of government involvement…
■■■■ 'em.

I did not have Drag shows on my list of things that the moral panickers would be all concerned about ruining the social order.

I didn’t have “drag” on my scorecard for public schools until yesterday.

I didn’t either. What’s next porn??

You’re a little late with that one.

"Porn literacy" class picks up where standard sex ed leaves off

“We realized that the kids were feeling a little bored by the usual discussion of dating violence and consent and respect, and that talking about some research that I had done on pornography really lit up the room.”
