So will Teachers strike ?

[Honu]

One of our co-ops has about 300+ kids we meet weekly (in hold for now) at a church have great class options with so many kids and parents that can teach very unique things
There is no shortage of social activities

Actually one of the courses was shooting the NRA also stepped up and helped we had donated rifles and ammo and kids went to the range !
Another was archery

Our state has ESA where you can get some funds to help with homeschool etc... the left are fighting to take it away and the dems want it all gone and forced public for indoctrination of course

My daughter at 16 is now starting her college credits along with finishing up her HS but she takes on after her mother for being scholastic thank goodness

But what if my kid wants to rock an M1 Carbine? :P LOL

We will do that when we get to the history of Carbine Williams and against when we get into Small Arms of WWII 101. And any kid who can bring me a genuine original para carbine gets an automatic pass and will be exempt from the requirement of naming ALL the manufacturers who produced the M1 carbine.

I guarantee this knowledge will be "as useful" in the real world as anything they ever did with a protractor.

I think I might start a home school course for kids.

They will learn some actual, sometimes inconvenient history. Supported science. Math. And just about everything you ever wanted to know about ninja. I will also spend an entire hour devoted to independent and critical thinking skills.

I think there is a lot of money out there just waiting for me.

Had one son that we home schooled that took to the challenge really well.

When he was in the 8 to 10yr old range the general house rule was 'no video games or sponge bob kid type shows after something like 5 pm'. Extra TV time could be had most times if he wanted it but it had to be worked for and earned.

Long story short - He walks up one day with his pen and paper and asks if he can do some home school stuff for some TV time. He had been working on long division stuff recently so I gave him one problem to do for one hour of TV time. 'What is the 12th digit to the right of the decimal place in Pi?'

I figured he would go work out the 'approximation' of Pi longhand ( 22 / 7 = 3.142857142857143 ) to get his answer but instead he just stood there for a few seconds thinking about it before spitting out the answer. Damned if he didn't nail it...

Well it appears that they will oppose reopening as much as possible.
I believe it's being done as a political weapon to hurt the current administration.

They are justifying the very school choice, home schooling, and private schools they have battled for years.

Maybe it's a time to demand vouchers.

This is going to be a political weapon of the left, the quicker someone says "Voucher" the better off we will be.
I still pay school taxes, so I hope I get a voucher to gift someone who wants out of a school system that is indoctrinating rather than Teaching.
This was the final straw for me. The Teachers Unions now appear to have chosen a different side.

[Dr. Bullseye]

So, if the teachers strike, do we get a property tax rebate?

[Pappabear]

I'm so sick of these teachers holding children hostage. Its disgusting and its all political pushing to MAKE AMERICA WORSE AGAIN and I hate them for it. I hope people put their children in Private schools and they all lose their jobs. Liberal pieces of sht, the entire education Sytem. Nothing is in favor of Christian conservative views. NOTHING.

Impressive, wish you were teaching our kids. I guess your a genius and your kid is a genius, what do you do for work my I ask?
