Vaccine

...wait, what? It appears the vaccine (the new, one month old CDC definition) may not be needed (mandated) for vast amounts of the peasants...

...whew, thankfully your Lords and Betters likely won't lose much power & $$$ as this is probably just a one-off study...well, make that 91 one-off studies... Meh, potato/patato!

Thanks for that article. I had covid march 2020 and have not caught anything since.

Has anyone brought up money in this thread? Nah they wouldn't do this for the money.

...such as, turning the FBI on parents voicing concerns to their school boards. Casual and loose "extremism" labeling has serious consequences...tomorrow it may be you.

What I was referring to is a more objective definition based on viewpoints typically associated with differentiating "left" and "right".

What you describe is a strategy to marginalize and stifle dissenting voices - one that backfires if we are lucky. I agree it's easy to ignore these types of behaviors if it isn't personal. Public schools are attempting to wrest power from parents. At its core, that is why we homeschooled our child after 7th grade. Of course, there is a backlash against homeschooling from the elites.

They must really be up in arms after the significant uptick in homeschooling since the pandemic.

Another interesting local story - PAUSD refused to recognize a UC-certified mathematics class completed by one of its students. The family had to sue the district to get the child placed in the next class. One of the school's representatives stated that they had the rules on class placement to "protect children from overbearing parents". Not sure that quote shows in this article as it is behind a paywall.

Schools really do not like dealing with kids who are accelerated or delayed in math. Bringing a slow student up to speed is a ton of work, and not always successful. Fast kids are even harder. By the time they are seniors, you will need to have someone on staff who can teach mid level college classes, and that is expensive.

It’s much easier to lie to the parents about what the kid can do.

This is not just public schools. Most private schools are equally reluctant to move a kid outside of age group.

I can attest this is very true.

Besides the Q from CNN, I have another Math Q. What numbers are JB displaying over his left EYE?

That's an interesting point. Beyond a certain level of mathematics, I feel that it isn't the school's responsibility to provide a teacher. It is high school. Locally, there appears to be an easy solution with the child taking advanced mathematics classes at the local community college while still enrolled at HS.

My primary concern with what happened is that a school has the power to refuse to accept a course that fulfills the state's requirements for that course.

I have no idea. I do know that symbolism was their down fall. 33 is a big number for them as well. Lot's of hidden codes and names like "pizza" and "hot dog" to name just a few. TGIFF, right? I think big boom is coming today. The Hunt for Red October is real. The hunters are now the hunted.

It’s Friday night, pizza night, don’t hide it, just divide it, and don’t knock it until you tried it, let me hear you say, hey we want some pizza!

I can attest this is definitely true of private schools. The difference though is the secular private schools and many religious schools do have quite a bit of in group differentiation, are generally on an accelerated track anyway vis a vis public schools, and have repeated placement exams to determine appropriate levels. So the kids who might not get moved up are the super brilliant kids who are too accelerated for even the top differentiated honors classes and have iqs in the 170+ range

There are a few reasons the private schools might be reluctant to move kids up. Those community college classes involve liability for students going there if something happens and that liability is not covered by insurance, there’s the issue of socialization by moving up classes, if there’s just the math class there’s the issue of fitting in an alternate grades class into the existing grades block schedule (which are staggered to allow math teachers to rotate between various grades), and there’s the problem with parents paying a high tuition but not getting what they need on campus. But they are a business and if a parent pushes hard enough most will accommodate. The issue then is you get a lot of me tooism from kids who aren’t as exceptional and parents who want them to succeed.

I’m increasingly convinced we are living in a new Puritan age but with the absence of God people have to find a new Puritanism. Prohibition and religion were linked after all. And it’s not just the masking of the vaccinating.

when kiddo was 5 he was in a karate class and acting up and crying. I went into the class and with the teachers permission removed him…he started to kick and fuss so I took him outside to calm down. A parent follows me out and starts lecturing me about parenting

today was in the park and doggo was acting up. Some guy comes up and starts yelling at me that I have to respect my dog and not correct him. If dog want to lie down in the middle of the walk who am I to tell dog he must get up and walk.

seriously what’s up with all the busy bodies…it’s made for the perfect clash in the pandemic empowering these people who think they can tell other people how they should live.

Oh my goodness, you just reminded me of my old church days and work days with a know it all lady I worked with who knew my family well and monitored my dd social life. I got it all from both sides. I knew a "few" disciples who felt it was their job to snitch and judge, all in one swoop. Someone actually told my wife that my dd was worshiping soccer over God all because she missed one 10am Sunday Service. Minister even came up to me and wanted to know where my wife and dd were. First time we skipped service without permission I guess. This was U9 soccer and first year of club Grace T. She was playing up because we got told U8 but had no players so my dd and few others got whacked all season. We also had two boxer, Rome & Paris. My wife took Rome to Doggie School and was kicked out by the trainer because Rome wouldn;t leave the female dogs alone and would not listen to my wife or the dog whisper lady trainer.

Where is the line between busybodies and those with genuine mental illness? I'm sure the guy talking to you about the dog needs therapy. I'm equally confident that you were an appropriate person "correct" the other parent.

If so, there's a lot of mental illness out there. The guy even went so far as to threaten me with a taser which he actually set off as a threat (I wasn't worried....I am tall for a gal and a 3rd degree black belt in jujitsu and a 1st brown in tae kwon and am very good about reading people)...guy's wife was nice and diffused the situation.

It does raise the same question as the people are children argument and democracy. If people are children and mental illness (especially post pandemic) is so wide spread can we really have a functioning democracy? The problem with not trusting people to govern themselves is that everyone thinks they are right, and that's just a prescription for violence....ultimately within reason we have to trust people to govern themselves and live their lives.

In this case, it’s much more about bureaucracy and educational groupthink than government. Private schools near me are, if anything, more likely to spin some line of BS about how your kid is not actually above/below grade level in math.
