[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, liberal parents tolerated progressive teaching in schools for a long time, willing to trust that their kids would be okay, even if they were not taught how to read, write, spell, multiply, divide, taught history or science, etc.  And for the most, part, with the help of tutors, the kids were fine.

Then the pandemic and virtual school happened and liberal parents realized that school needs to change.

A few conservatives complaining about schools just get ignored.  Parents, liberal parents, make changes.  [/quote]

Conservative parents get ignored because they hyperbolically lie, exaggerate and distort, and are not to be believed.

The rest of us will change what needs to be changed.

Hyperbolically lie, exaggerate and distort? That kind of sounds like what liberal cities and teachers unions did during the pandemic. The policies of the Left were objectively wrong, yet the people trading in common sense at the time were called racist, conspiracy theorists, and much worse.  I recall in the Spring of 2022 literally being told on Twitter that I would cause a racial genocide for advocating for the lifting of mask mandates in DCPS schools. I really loved this snippet from the NYT this weekend ...

"Many liberals overstated Covid’s dangers to the non-elderly, especially children. Partly for that reason, Democratic-run communities closed schools for longer. It was a bad trade-off: These areas did not have noticeably less Covid, and their children struggled more. The left also appears to have been wrong about long-term mask mandates (which had little effect) and wrong to dismiss the lab-leak theory (which, contrary to being a bigoted conspiracy theory, remains plausible)."

Its an absolute scandal that our children were used as a Teachers Union bargaining chip, and that parents in liberal cities refuse to hold their leaders accountable. My daughter was three when the pandemic started. She is seven now. In that time period she has never seen a teacher's mouth move. (Yep, her 25 y/o teacher is STILL masking.) She has literacy and articulation issues. SURPRISE![/quote]
