got an email from our sons teacher saying he āmisgenderedā another kid. wtf!? heās 8 years old. Apparently she also was telling the class that if your parents voted conservative that they hate gay people are are bad. Ok iām fucking pissed now.
Discussion
Dammit
Tell her you're going to report her to ICE. She will be so confused, she won't know how to respond. But I bet she'll knock it off.
When she says that ICE is in the US, assuming she figures it out, just laugh and say, "That's not going to help you."
Oh shit wtfā¦
Whatāre you going to do?
let me guess - itās in canada? šØš¦
Thatās awful. Get him out there.
You buy your son a toy now sir
Hoo boyā¦ that is NOT a quality teacher and really shouldnāt be in that profession
Woah
Do not let the school staff mindf*ck your kid with this gender identity insanity.
Ask the teacher what they know about the man who coined the term "gender identity", John Money.
He was a real sick and demented individual.
Make the teacher defend John Money and his sick and twisted experiments that he performed on twin boys.
#homeschool is the way!
Homeschool can be a better option for some children under some circumstances, but it's not a universally superior choice. There are several factors parents need to consider before determining whether homeschool would be better for their child, and the choice shouldn't be made lightly, based on emotion.
We already homeschool him after school. Itās clear heās not even learning anything there. Itās basically daycare
Homeschool is such a broad umbrella that can describe a wide range programs and applications. I know people who homeschool their kids, and it basically entails them letting their kids do what they want all day while do the same. Needless to say, their kids a woefully behind and nowhere near their schooled peers. One kid is almost 10yo and can't read. But there also great programs and curriculum available for homeschoolers, but they require significant parental involvement in a daily basis, and a structured environment that actually delineates schooling from hanging out playing video games.
What you describe at the start of your note is āunschoolingā not homeschooling.
In fact most I know in the unschooling realm are vehemently against the word homeschoolā¦but I think itās more then āschoolā conjunction than it is the āhomeā aspect.
The reality is, and note this is coming from someone (myself) whom:
1. Has an earned higher Ed degree
2. Has completed half of a doctorate (but wonāt finish it)
3. Taught and was on the leadership/admin team for few schools over the years.
UNLESS one wants to go into a highly regulated field (ie engineering or wants to be a brain surgeonā¦)
College is a waste. I use about 1% of what I learned through my various degrees on a daily basis in my business, life, and impact.
Additionally, there are thousands upon thousands of careers that donāt require a college degree but rather rely on certifications and/or āwhat have you created latelyā.
Now oneās immediate response to that statement is usually āyea but working at Mcadonalds isnāt what I envision for my childā
To which I have three replies.
A. But what about what your child wants?
B. Iām not referencing MickyDāsā¦Iām talking about respected files such as airline pilots and other āhigh wage payingā careers.
C. And penultimately what does God want for your child?
====
Beyond the nitty gritty, the bigger question at hand is: do you really want to be a wage slave? Does one want thei child(ren) to be?
I believe notā¦and so just like we have to empower and set others up for success when it comes to Bitcoin, sovereignty, etcā¦so we do with leading their child to discover what they want to move closer to in their life and impact.
> College is a waste
agree. it was a waste of time *for me*, but only because i already knew what they were teaching by the time i got there since i was obsessed with computers since I was 10.
Not sure if elliott will find something heās interested in the same way I did, weāll see. He doesnāt seem like a nerd like i was.
He seems really into reading and writing.
My son for sure isnāt a nerdā¦
But he loves Basketball and wants to do something with/in it for the foreseeable futureā¦even possibly playing in college (still trying to reconcile that LOL) and ideally pro.
So we look for academic learning moments through what he is passionate about.
He also loves video editingā¦so weāve connected with a local YouTube āstarā and video editor,
Think āreal world experienceā not āa2 + b2 = c2ā.
Beyond the basic level of academic knowledge, we donāt need to know muchā¦so long as we learn HOW to learnā¦we will lead ourselves to the whatā¦just like to did with computers
What is the state of Catholic schools in Canada?
Yes I agree!! If I have that luxury of courseā¦
Hmmmā¦
I think a āluxuryā is three things.
1. What we define it to be
2. What we value
3. What we prioritize
For us, itās a matter of what do we want to move closer to.
That being said, homeschooling isnāt a luxury for my family. Itās a facilitator.
We are intentionally designing our life and as such, in order to move closer to want we want vs chasing more, homeschooling is the educational solution that serves us best.
I donāt know how people define homeschooling, but i donāt see how i could teach my son at home all day while trying to build damus
Not to mention social interaction ā¦
Easily solved for! Most communities have numerous āsocialā aspects for homeschoolers.
We live in a growing rural areaā¦almost suburban nowā¦but still less than 200k in our county.
Our son plays on a basketball team, tonight heās going to a movie hang at one of the parentās house. Last week was field day, tomorrow he goes to a science club thingā¦
You merely have to be intentional (just like with everything)
Yes!! Intentionality is def the way to go.
But yes nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s I see what you mean. Thatās what I meant by luxury. Eg if we (potential future partner) can afford to only have one income ha
It dependsā¦
Again, definitions.
How do you define income?
Why is there a limit on the quantity of income(s)?
What does it mean to afford? Are there multiple angles to achieve āaffordingā?
Maybe one needs more than one partner (just kidding)
But in all seriousness, one attains what they want.
That isnāt to say you and I or Will or Bill (whomever he isā¦maybe your partner š¤·āāļøš¤£) should even want th same thingā¦
But we are all capable of moving closer to that which we do want.
So if homeschooling or _________ (insert whatever) itās important to you, you will find a way to attain it.
Thatās my point. Itās easy to come up with excuses or reasons why something isnāt viable.
Itās also simple to solve for them when we have clarity.
Yet, most opt for perceived easiness vs simplicity.
lol #truethat
Homeschool!
These people are insane. Guarantee you can reach him better yourself, especially with LLM so ubiquitous now. Take him out!
yikes! Gtfo out of there!!
That stinks. That sort of political stuffāadvocating for a specific point of viewādoesnāt belong in classrooms below high school or even college.
Hopefully the school board is willing to listen and make sure the teachers donāt misuse their position to promote their own agendas.
You may want to start looking into private schools. We had to go that route. In addition to all this kind of BS, our public K-8 decided there would be no more homework.. because itās not āequitableā and changed the grading system from letters to ādevelopingā, āneeds improvementā etc. basically dumbing everything down.
Why do you hate gay ppl bro
That's not an education. That's an indoctrination. Public school is not a very wise place to send your child in this day and age.
This is a clear violation of EO 14190
Call for ātheirā immediate rerelease.
Iām Canadian
Iām sorry
Ouch, my condolences.
I literally hate the T-bag and do not think anything he is doing is for anything but his own narcissistic benefit. (Legacy is everything to a narcissist, for good or ill but never indifferent)
That said he is slightly better than your flavor of people pleasing yes-men (or is that āyes-themā?) you are required to endure.
REMOVE YOUR CHILD FROM THIS SCHOOL NOW!!! Home-school him, youāll be glad you did! Good luck and God bless you!!!š„āļøšš
Wow. If that's really what happened it's beyond inappropriate. Aside from the problems with a teacher injecting their personal political views in the classroom, telling this stuff to a bunch of 8 year olds is malpractice. The school should temporarily suspend her while conducting an investigation, and if the allegations are substantiated through evidence, she should be terminated, or sent to a rubber room if her termination isn't possible due to union contract guidelines.
Weāre working on building the available evidence to mount a complaint. We heard the politics thing from another kids parent who is in his class.
Have you guys already reached out to the principal or school superintendent? What was their response? Were they dismissive, or did they appear to be concerned and willing to objectively seek out the truth?
The politics thing is stupid AF lol
did E clarify how he got the gender wrong..?
The problem with the misgendering is that they leave no space for good-faith mistakes, or simple forgetfulness. And that's really counterproductive because they're alienating people who would otherwise be accepting of them. It's gotten a little militant. I don't care if people want to referred to in a certain way. I'm respectful of others and wouldn't go out of my to hurt them. But I'm a human being who doesn't always get it right. And when I make a mistake, it's not due to some malignant passive-aggressiveness. It's just because I made mistake. I think that reasonable space has to be restored
This is what indoctrination looks like. Pull your son out of there asap.
This is normal in Canada. The schools are run by the government and they are indoctrinating them and teaching them that they can change genders. I heard many other stories of what's going on in the schools.
If you challenge things in the school the courts may side with the child and not the parent.
I would do everything possible to homeschool children. Unfortunately because of the theft(taxation) that the Canadian government implements automatically on us it's difficult to homeschool children as normally the wide has to work too. Homeschool is difficult but I don't plan on putting my kids in there. The teachers are extremely fascist and leftist.
It's important to get involved in politics. You need to vote for political parties that want the separation of education and government like the LPOC so the schools are run by the Canadian people and government has no say.
Unfortunately the major political parties in Canada all support the government running the schools. So we are in a tough situation but don't give up. We just keep fighting.
Expecting change from the top is how we got into this mess.
Schools are local jurisdiction. If people want change they need to start electing rational Board Trustees.
The board trustees power is limited as the education in Canada is governed at the provincial level, meaning each province sets the overall curriculum, including topics related to gender and inclusivity. The trustees are not able to override provincial mandates on their own.
If you want to change the education you advocate for changes at the provincial level and that takes forever.
The government has no business involved in the education. The people can run schools and do a better and faster job
here is what you do:
Take a deep breath. You and your son are about to be rich.
Strategize. Find a good "civil rights" attorney. Strategize some more.
Sue for millions.
Stack sats.
This is the way
You should take every available volunteer opportunity and get yourself in the classroom to see what's going on.
Put a recording device on your son , catch them and sue the school
I got your back if needed I have š will travel
time to set the record straight
The horror! How will that child ever recover?
Hands up if you said something mean to a kid when you younger or had something mean said to you āš¼
Itās a life lesson. Not everyone is going to be nice to you all the time.
š± Why are you receiving notes about another kid? Apology email?!
It was a complaint from the teacher about our son and him misgendering another kid. We asked him about it an he doesnāt understand.
oh dear -super confusing š
Ugh. So much for kids. I canāt even imagine! āSo the kid who has female/male features, isnāt actually female/maleā¦ righttttttttā
š¤¦š»āāļø
Actually this is why Iām pretty motivated and determined to homeschool my kids. Hopefully!š¤š»
Iād encourage you to not overthink it, especially if your child(ren) are young. So much pressure is placed on āoh now Iām the teacher and Iāve got to do this and that and get it ārightā (aka perfect)ā
And that šis just not the case!
Does our son know all the academic bullet points he should or could? Noā¦
But you know what?
As a family we get to travel, we do devotions together several times a week, I get to pour into a young man whom will help shape the worldās future (however big or small God entrusts my sonās world to be)ā¦
Instead of going to YouTube or TikTok to find lifeās answers, he comes to his mom and I.
Yesā¦we still struggle with more video games than weād likeā¦but he also trains basketball 2-5 hours a dayā¦and video games is a way for him to connect with many of his friends.
He cares about people, he volunteers some of his time to shoot hoops with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
He loves nature and Godās creationā¦
So for all that we feel like we might be failing at academicallyā¦we are raising a man of God and Iād rather be the one leading that than outsourcing it to random people in a brick box that may or may not hold our same family values.
Amen.
One of his strongest influences is nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqevs best friend. Itād a shame that the teacher would jump to conclusions and bring it to your attention in general as though he misgendered someone intentionally. With society on the fence about so many things, the teacher isnāt bringing anything to light in a positive way.
Tomorrows mission, get your kid a new teacher. I school if you must. Then, if you have time and energy, try to get all the people who allowed this to happen fired.
Oh Canada, eh?
Itās no better in the USā¦ In blue or single party states itās arguably worse..
Public schools are nothing but dens of indoctrination, abuse and predationā¦ and thatās the just the teachers. Itās a miracle that I have two children with masters degrees and not two children with pronouns reflective of 57 nonexistent genders.
A terse email response of fuck off is warranted
As a former public high school teacher, in all honesty, this is the best advice. You canāt engage with it or try to understand it, and your blatant anger will likely frighten an already terribly frightened individual so that any further emails wonāt be sent.
Keep it very short and angry. Because you donāt have time for that bullshit. No one does.
Time to find another school
"Trans Kids" = Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
You should be pissed. Iāve come to realize that many teachers and administration staff are unhinged and not fit to be near children. I would bring this to the school administrators and see if you get any peace there, but donāt be surprised if you donāt.
As a former high school teacher, follow nostr:npub1mwjxup7cj5n52avz2tkgssegsual8zx063vz9levdf3e0sa9q5vse5ll98 ās advice. Keep it very short and pissy.
Something like, If you bother me or my child with this nonsense again weāll be meeting with administration.
Weāre just gonna meet with the administration at this point. This is nuts.
Thatās why you donāt send your child to public day care nor schools
What are you going to do about it?
Weāre going to complain to the school about the teacher. Apparently sheās been suspended twice already. No idea how she is still teaching. Also learned from elliott that the other day she just left the class for a while and asked one of the kids to take over ??
So weāre gathering these for a complaint and weāre going to see if he can switch classes or ideally get her suspended again. How many times can you get suspended before youāre removed for good? ffs.
Yikes. Good luck with that. Iām sure it would help if you had other parents join you
I got an email from... no,
Play the fiat game, win the fiat prize.
School is fiat.
Call Trumps hotline and report that scum. He didnāt get the memo that there are now again only two genders and that Sleepy Joe and his gang are out of the office.
Wow, I am shocked by this actually!
Sounds like youāve got a good kid, heās clearly able to see through bullshit.
Donāt be pissed, donāt give them any of your energy. Easier said than done, but at the end of the day itās up to you if youād like to play their game or not.
All you can do is have a convo with the teachers and let them know how you really feel. Maybe get other like minded parents to take a stance as well.
Donāt be pissed. Act immediately, take your child out of that school. Itās obviously rotten. Donāt wait until they mess with your childās mind. There is nothing to gain by staying longer and/or trying to change the sick mind of the teachers.
That is beyond fucked up. People like that should not be near kids.
I wonder if the parents who "misgendered" their 8 year old kid got a letter of concern too.
How is your respond to your kid ? did you end up explaning a lot of stuff ?
How do you explain to your kids about this stuff ? #parenting #nostr
homeschooling incoming
#SchoolChoice fixes this.
What a world!
lol holy
Ridiculous that thatās okay. Schools need to feel the pain from allowing or encouraging this mindset
I know this is not easy for everyone but get your kid out of school dude. You would be surprised the sort of trouble this agenda causes young minds. Even brought up in an awake family. Keep your kids close, you should be the main influence in a world where forces are trying to send people in the wrong direction.
I agree but itās not solely up to me
I feel like this is the beginning of a "How did you end up being homeschooled?" story.
this email came in yesterday from my kid's school...
I remember I was radicalized when my pregnant wife was called a ābirthing personā
oh boy
Take a stand. Unfortunately, passivity allows this to happen. Do it with your wallet or you voice!
How dare your son do such a thing š¹
Kids can learn in 2 hours what they get in public school from 8. Lotsa options. Community groups, quality curriculums. We used Laurel Springs but that was 20 yrs ago. Parents send work to teachers and they review. Had primary source materials and integrated project based cross subject learning.
