Closing schools nationwide!

Arrangements could be made if we care enough for the kids surely.

Parents could alternate work shifts and grandma and grandpa or other family members could be another alternative. Babysitters could also be employed.

I have been awake for quite awhile now and need to get some sleep. Please help keep the discussion going if you can and keep an open mind if you would please.

Yes, and would allow the State to play a more active role in the home of the average citizen too.

Wouldn’t they love it now that you mention it.

You can't address the issue until you understand the cause of it...an out of control corrupt govt hell bent on taking away our gun rights, these are staged events dummy..how can you not know this?

I do not agree but thanks for your off topic input anyway. The Star was very welcome also. Thank you very much for participating.

Yeah, the teacher union has had a stranglehold on American education for years along with the Democratic party. Now the idea of online school, todays education with a standardized approach, using private industry performance technincs, we can industrialize education while cutting out political student biasing, underperforming teachers and administration staffing, bureaucracy, most of all, the cost!

The education guild cut their own throats by caving into the Communist indoctrination push big FAIL. Keep your children home, educate online, and have neighborhood get togethers to intergrate socialization skills. Public education committed suicide.

Welcome, I like the way your thinking.

You can't socialize in a socially isolated setting. Hell, they have a hard enough time with face to face interaction now without making it worse.

Such as?

Baby sitters or other non working parents are just a couple of ideas right off the top of my head. Parents could also alternate work schedules so that someone would be available whenever needed.

There would still be church and activities settings for them to socialize at. As it is more educating and less socializing would be a very good thing in many cases.

You'd end up with a generation of introverts and psychos with not much in between.

And a "home stream live TV" presented by the government? No thank you...

Well then, the same forces that created the two parents having to work in this country (I am old enough to remember when one parent worked while Mom stayed home and we lived comfortably from a child's perspective) those forces will have to turn back to a system were things will have to become affordable, sustainable with one provider families. Can't be difficult to do in the age of IBM Watson shuffling the numbers around in the spreadsheet.

I do not think so at all really. They would still interact. They would do it differently is all. No one here is saying lock them up at home.

Thank you so much for all of these stars. Even one star helps out. Keep up the great work!

I like to tell my mom about how happy I was as a kid and thank her for being there when we needed here when we were younger. Eating the elephant one bite at a Time seems to be the answer I agree. It will just take a concerted effort time and lots of brainstorming by many people to get this done now.

Abolish the board of regents like the one in NYS

Good read

it’s happening in Austin Huston and San Antonio they are trying to demonize charter schools but it the home schooling community’s piping up

It can be done if The willpower is there. This might just be the incentive to get the ball rolling along. It would indeed be snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat!

With online schools kids could advance at their own pace, not be held back by kids that need more help. Kids that need more help would have the attention that they don't get now.
There isn't any reason that we still have brick and mortar schools. All classes can be taught online. Parents could actually see what their children are being taught.
Taxes are so high to pay for these brick and mortar schools and the vast amount of teachers that aren't needed.
Schools aren't babysitters or restaurants and parents need to stop treating them as such.

Would reduce ridiculously high property taxes as well. Just sick of having to pay for other people’s kids.

The Law in the UK which im not sure if it is the same for every country but for sure it is here is that ALL education is compulsary and All children must be educated,
But school is not compulsary and as parents have the right to home school or private educate our children with or without the knowledge of our government or local authorities knowing. You dont have to be educated parents, nothing is needed or required of you to do this.

So myself and my mrs have decided to pull our children from school and home school them.

They re learning everything that school never taught.
including survival.

They are loving the fact of home school and do not miss the bully in the playground no longer.
friends come and go, but she has her neighbor friends to play with.

we swim 3 times a week, go nature hunting which includes a 3 mile walk through forests and country side.
Cave investigation, going down into the deep caves.
The usual maths english,
and we have a professional music teacher come twice a week teaching them how to play certain music with certain instruments,
this really doesnt cost much at all.
and our children have benefitted from a better education and better mannerisms

Social aspect of school is too important. Well it used to be.

That would be so great!

Used to be, not now.

Yes it seemed so, at least until it became more of a hindering than a help as it has now become.
