[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Father here.  I feel his pain — with my kids in local schools facing a remarkable level of unwanted indoctrination.  But, he can’t just declare his desire and force change.  I hope you and he can find some level of reasonable accommodation — for the sake of your children.  But, again, the default is the current as-is and it takes a mutual OK to change…[/quote]

I ended up pulling my kids out of school and homeschooling for a while until we found another school.  What really killed me was that so much time was being spent on this social indoctrination and social emotional learning, but no one seemed to have time to spend with kids who were struggling with math or writing.   So, they were going to school during the day where they were being taught social values, then coming home where I had to teach them how to do long division and read actual good books that weren’t free from scholastic or written by Dav Pilkey.  It’s so backwards.

Thanks for this relevant post. /s

You can have Omaha. In fact, please stay there. [/quote]

It’s relevant that this same issue exists in flyover country.   You can’t move away from it.[/quote]

No it's relevant that it only exists in your mind. Stop mainlining whatever right wing media source is feeding you this BS and return to reality. [/quote]

I don’t listen to right wing media, and I am a democrat.  I’m watching my kids come home with packets on how to control their anger when they are struggling with writing, and nothing to teach kids who are struggling with writing.  You were just supposed to teach them yourself or hire a tutor or, just kind of, be fine with it.  Because along with the focus on teaching values in school comes this kind of moral relativism, everything everyone does is okay, kind of attitude. 
 (Unless it’s something that the teacher doesn’t like.  Somehow, school became like living with an alcoholic.  Nothing adults do is ever wrong or bad, grades/performance don’t matter, your actual character doesn’t matter, and the only thing that matters is not pissing off the adults in front of you).

Anyway, maybe there is something on right wing media that I’m missing, but IMO, schools are not any better in flyover country.

That is a good description of it although even though other areas say they are against this in practice I find the parents do the opposite. Anything but education is important and poorer areas end up making fun of those in power which actually degrades patriotism. So while I have the same issues as you do, I don’t think other areas are better. [/quote]
