My kids get pissed at me when I'm always saying "hey, ask that kid to sit with you or play with you" or whatever when I see a kid by him or herself. It's my fear too. Not that they'll be the coolest kid, but that they'll join in ostracizing or silently bullying some kid.
Yes yes yes. And mine has a huge heart. My hope is that these kids stay woke and good to each other. Good to everyone - save her bf. My ex and I have long agreed she’s going to be a clingy psycho gf. We’re resigned to that

Maybe she should watch Fatal Attraction for some pointers?
Fatal attraction won’t have shit on her. Perfect combo of crazy clingy and tech savvy
My daughter has 200 "friends". She'll learn. Probably in college.
I can't tell if she's a mean girl or just trying way too hard to be popular (which, of course, if you ask her she's totally not doing).
I love that our kids think we were born at 30 and didn't go through anything like they're going through. Makes me chuckle everytime she realizes her mother or I were right about something.
I don’t think drippy outfits is the way you say that! 😎

I love butchering the kids' lingo. Although I did have one of my daughter's friends say "drippy."

As I’ve been writing about for a few years:
www.wsj.com
To Increase Equity, School Districts Eliminate Honors Classes
Supporters say uniform classes create rigor for all students but critics say cuts hurt faster learners.

Hi IarsIU, it's understandable to feel concerned about your daughter's social media behavior, as well as her schooling and learning. It's important to encourage her to prioritize her education and to focus on building meaningful relationships with her peers. While social media can be a fun way to connect with others, it's important to remember that it shouldn't take away from her studies and learning opportunities. To help her, suggest creative essay examples about bullying because I passed over bullying cases in my life with the help of informative speeches online and essay examples. You also may want to consider talking with your daughter's teachers or school counselor to get their perspective on her behavior and academic progress. They may be able to offer some helpful insights and guidance on how to support her in her academic pursuits.

Under district's so-called 'Parental Secret Policy,' schools will only inform parents of children pursuing or considering gender transition with student's prior written consent
Yes and stuff like this is why people in the other thread saying that conservatives are driving this trans narrative right now are complete nonsense.Not alerting parents of an 11 year old? Not O.K.

DC to frame social studies curriculum through the "social justice" lens,

including CRT (of which, anti-racism is a sub-field):
"Knowledge framing: anti-racist There are few areas in the current D.C. Social Studies Standards where the intersectionality, which is rooted in racist thinking. White supremacy has impacted all races and groups of people, even those who identify as white. With an anti-racist framing, District students would be more aware of the role of policy and history in shaping current racial and economic inequities. The revised standards should also focus on the tenets of critical race theory (CRT) when describing power structures and systems."
Why the new K-12 Draft Social Studies Standards are wrong for DC students
Should DC second-graders be required to “analyze the daily lives of different individuals in ancient societies including history of same-sex relationships and gender fluidity in civilizations” and “compare societies of long ago to societies today with a focus on gender roles, technology, and...

NY teacher forced girl, 9, to use male pronouns — causing suicidal thoughts: suit
A Long Island teacher allegedly “forced” a 5th-grade student to go by a male name and pronouns, confusing the child so much that she had suicidal thoughts.

I noticed some people got really quiet about the boy reading from the shitty book. Nothing on the last one, how about this? We're the parental rights violated here? Did the teacher know better here?
This is an adult manipulating a child. It’s abusive and should be treated as such. At the very least, that teacher should be fired and never teach again.NY teacher forced girl, 9, to use male pronouns — causing suicidal thoughts: suit

On the book, I’d be pissed if that was in my kid’s middle school library. Frankly, I don’t see the usefulness of explicitly sexual books even at the high school level.
That thang right there IS an existential threat to this country.
On an unrelated note, We used to have public floggings.
Teacher/Nerd/SJW Don Adams at Bloomington North posted this on his class door today:
"LITTERBOX NOW AVAILABLE IN ADAMS CLASSROOM.
ALL ANIMAL IDENTIFYING STUDENTS WELCOME
ROOM 507"
The North Principal had to send a letter of apology to parents. 😄

He should have been fired. Fired if it was true and fired if it was a joke for not reading the room.
I disagree. Maybe disciplined, but firing is pretty extreme for pointing out a mental illness that is sweeping the country.
Have you ever seen these 'furries'?
Well, I once saw a Monty Python sketch about men wanting to be mice. Does that count?

A good post from an educator that distinguishes ethnic studies from ethnic histories in K-12, in line with discussions on this forum, and arguing why the latter is desirable but the former is not.
fairforall.substack.com
"The two are not synonymous. Ethnic and racial histories—the experiences and contributions of different ethnic and racial groups in the US, the rivalries among them, the especially egregious injustices inflicted on some of them, the struggles to overcome those injustices, and instances of injustice and racism today— are taught in schools throughout the country. The best version of these classes teach ethnic and racial histories through multiple lenses, giving students a rich understanding of how these histories are connected to different ideas today.
Ethnic studies, on the other hand, is the lens. Its origins lie in the radical student movement of the 1960s and was created explicitly to underwrite a liberationist cultural politics. The development of the field over the last 50 years has stayed true to those origins. That is why ethnic studies advocates vigorously insist that ethnic studies is not “liberal multiculturalism,” which they disparage as “white-washing”—white supremacy with a smiley face. They know that the agonistic racial lens isn’t incidental to ethnic studies, it’s the defining feature.
Pointing out the origins and political aims of ethnic studies doesn’t discredit its point of view. But it does remind us that it is a point of view. Despite proponents’ claims, ethnic studies does not promote the teaching of multiple perspectives. It applies a single perspective to teaching about multiple ethnic groups. It is not just social conservatives who object to it. The ethnic studies perspective is contested by reputable scholars in the humanities and social sciences, and rejected by many members of the ethnic and racial groups for whom ethnic studies claims to speak.
Requiring the ethnic studies lens across K-12 learning standards is therefore akin to requiring a feminist or libertarian lens. Those ideologies and others should be taught somewhere in the school curriculum, but they should be taught as rival interpretive frameworks and objects of analysis. None should be enshrined in state learning standards or local curricula as settled doctrine."
Washington state wants to make every class ethnic studies. Here’s why that’s wrong.
Following in the footsteps of states like California and Oregon, my home state of Washington seeks to make ethnic studies a high school graduation requirement.

This is a good development for Indiana schools. I’m usually against educator’s following the newest, untested fad, but this effort to return to phonics based reading is supported by real data:

Our school district just switched back after doing the Calkins stuff. Calkins was a disaster.
Teachers unions won't accept it. It's much easier to teach nonsense like CRT and gender confusion than it is language, math, and science. Why earn a salary when you can BS your way through the day. Sadly the kids will not be able to function in life but they will be able to call everyone racist and biased while becoming lifetime wards of the state.

Went and found the video and I don't see how any additional context helps. Bunch of lying going on at the administrative level across the state and that does play a big factor when it comes to parent/school relationships.
My school district is about to come and ask for another tax abatement to raise teacher salaries and I think just based on the way things have gone the past few years that they are possibly going to have a fight on their hands. Every other school ask has breezed through since I moved here. And stuff like this is why. The trust is shot. Even with the school board switch in my area.
