I know it's hard to come to grips with the fact that you created legal child abuse. But you did, Jan. It's real.

Spoken like someone who has no idea what child abuse really is. There’s the real privilege.

Yeah, Jan. I do. That's why this portion of the bill is so foul. Scream all you want.

I’m 15 pages in and I still don’t understand the need for this piece of the legislation. Typically, I think the “just homeschool” argument is a bit harsh and privileged. But these folks are literally “just homeschooling”. So why can’t they fill out the dang paperwork so CPS doesn’t knock on their door?

because they either don't want to (for people attending IB) or don't want to lose their charter/OOB spot. That's it. Let's not pretend it's anything else.

It is also questionable whether they in fact are providing any education (whether they are, in fact, "just homeschooling"), hence the need for CFS.

And here’s the real issue. Lottery losers being mad that people get to keep their seat. Pathetic.

Keep deflecting, Jan.

You care more about your lottery spot than other kids being neglected.

There are not enough eye rolls on the internet for this but I’ll try.

I am seeing the impact of this realtime in my classroom. Students that have a chronic history of unexcused absences, some who missed more than 40 days of school last year and now out for 3-5 days absent excused due to quarantine. I have students who have missed more than 3 days 2X this school year already for this reason. These are students in 4th grade and cannot write their own name and are reading between grade level k-1.

If you are not sending your kids to school please make sure you are trying to educate them. Gaps these large are incredibly difficult to close and the SEL toll on these kids in a classroom of students on grade level are devastating; they struggle and are lost all day long. It's heartbreaking.

There's a reason what these people are doing was illegal a week ago.

Yep. and instead of saying "Oh yeah this bill DID create a loophole for people to not actually educate their kids at all for 3 months, and to just drop off the map. How can we change that?"....you just roll your eyes.

damn y'all are gross.
