Dept. of Education Staff Ordered to Leave Building by 6pm today

American students were isolated during the pandemic. They got back to school and made social changes. Visible, new and uncomfortable ones (for others).

Teachers and their doctors got WAY ahead of their parents. Parents still basically “own” kids before 18. Parents got p#^d. Parents assigned blame apart from children. That is what the pp is saying. You don’t mess with parents and parenting, in general.

I'm a teacher. Do tell what left wing ideology we're indoctrinating students in. I just want them to stop staring at their phones.
How can you be so stupid to think this is actually happening.

In my local HS, in NoVa, teachers did not tell parents when a child announced a new name in class. I think it was their policy (but I’m not sure). This is not appropriate. Keeping secrets with children is simply wrong. Teachers should email parents of significant changes and social issues at school . Teachers honestly messed up.It’s not all on them as the medical community and AAP also participated. We are all paying now.

Is this a specific example or something you heard about?

It's not keeping secrets. God you all are so dim. I have right now a cis male whose name is, let's say James Smith, in one of my classes. He goes by Mac in school. At conferences, his parents called him James. No one's heads exploded.

Sorry I'm not calling every parent to confirm nicknames or changed names or whatever. You're being ridiculous.

That’s fine. But you work in a small bubble. Your customers are children.

This is illegal and should be ignored.

You aren’t getting $$$ to send your kid to private school. Public schools will be defunded. People with the means will send their kids to private schools. The rest will have to deal with public schools.

Parents don’t even know the vocabulary you are using for social issues. I do not. I really don’t. It’s against my upbringing and religion. You really didn’t think this would become a problem? With the volume you were seeing. Most teachers I know are great - but also not politically saavy

I’ve got a specific example out of LoCo. My kids bus driver told me she was not allowed to say anything(just do as told by kids) every time they wanted a new name change she had to adjust her seat assignment/labels. This was post covid so she had to assign seats/name labels etc.

Have you always lived in such a tight bubble? I graduated high school 28 years ago and there were kids then that went by different names than what their parents called them. Teenagers trying on different personalities is NOT the issue you are trying to make it out to be.

We didn't even have a DOE until like 1979 or something like that. It will be fine. Of all the things going on right now, this one is not one of the scarier ones.

Are we assuming that every parent is capable of making good decisions related to their kid’s’ education? Or who cares, we need a peasant class to serve the tech bros.

They can instead attend hardcore Christian schools that prepare them to sacrifice themselves in Crusades II.

DP.

In FCPS, my child was assigned essays from the discredited and bigoted 1619 Project for sophomore English class. This happened at McLean HS.

It was not the only example of indoctrination within FCPS.

Except...you are insane because it is neither discredited nor bigoted.

What does that have to do with getting rid of federal student loans and money to K-12?

People have always had the choice to send their kids to private schools. Are you suggesting that there are people who don’t now have that freedom? Or is it really that such people can’t afford their choices, and want taxpayers to pay for their decisions?

None of this (stupid) discussion has had anything to do with the Education Dept for about 3 pages now.
