When the virus leaked from the Wuhan laboratory and spread across the globe in a matter of months, we knew even then that children are not really at risk of dying from sars-cov-2.
Seems like the correct course of action for the times is to take education out of the hands of government.
I do not believe children should be left behind, but the dumbing down of society isn't going to work. Seems like a segment ripe for complete market disruption.
My 5th grader is learning algebra and we support him at home.
Naturally we will continue to look for resources for him outside of public indoctrination. Perhaps we will see countless real schools being formed across the nation.
I learned almost all I know from the Internet over my 36 years. If more injection mandates occur, especially for children in my region, I will pull my children out of government school.
In 2020 we did distance learning and my children thrived while so many another's back tracked regarding test scores.
Our children thrived because my wife and I work from home. They thrived because life at home, while not structured like school, is an on going homeschool-like experience.
I'm so grateful to have been able to see my children thrive in these times.
We have had a lot of set backs as a society but we will continue to rebuild, repair, and grow!
