I'm pulling my children out of school. They are very intelligent, but will never thrive in this bullshit environment. I didn't even know the school was forcing my children to endure CNN every morning.

What is CNN10? Is that the child's daily dose of propaganda? The ?

[–] 9 pts (edited )

Yeah i couldn't believe it at first. then I had my lady pull up a search. it's definitely run by CNN but targeting kids. the first video I saw was some cracked out bill nye esq reporter talking about the dangers of global warming.

I knew it was bad. But I didn't know it was THIS bad. i'm in a red state and live in a town with 200 people.

Like I don't honestly have the resources to home school. But I can't in good conscience ever send them back. I have all summer to formulate a plan. And it's time to unleash hell on my local govt.

Red state and town of 200 - just rally the people? Inform them that their kids are being propagandized with mainstream media and this CNN10?

Find out who you need to kick in the ass to get it removed, then form a petition and present it to that person or something?

There are infinite online learning aids. I would suggest pursuing two strategies at once. Apply minimal compliance with home schooling standards (that's element 1). Experiment with various online tools that have nothing to do with state suggestions like brilliant.org and it's 1000 competitors (this is element 2). Something will stick for your kids and provide them with genuine education. Try to invest as much time into element 2 vs element 1 as possible.

Education is free now. Accreditation and compliance are not. If your main interest is your children being educated, the best tools are free, and there are enough options that something is going to be engaging. They will be fine. They will in fact be more than fine. Free online tools are enough to give children better educations than have been common for the last several decades, and given the decline of public education, your children will be doing laps around others. If your kids can do anything on Brilliant.org, they are better set than many adults.

There are online and off online computer programs that do the homeschooling for you.

Look them up. You dont have to sit around and personally do it.

Many are free

This has been the standard for as long as TV was in the classroom.

When I was a kid I slept through this crap, too. I also slept through their other propaganda stuff.

I don't know if it is because I hated it(almost everyone did) or if I have always had a hard time being up so early in the morning. A lot of kids need more rest in the early AM hours than the school hours permit. I have two early risers and one that is slap exhausted until 10-11a.m. they all sleep at the same time.

Teachers putting a boring piece on and turning off lights. Recipe for sleep.

Glad you're pulling them out. Hope they're still really young. What state are you in? Only ask because some states are easier for compliance.

You'll be a bit taken aback when you realize how many teachable moments happen in a day, and how many of them are moral and value opportunities. While you might teach your children a bit when you're home with them, 8 hours with teachers and peers who accept what the teachers say will have much heavier weight than what a parent can squeeze in after work, before bedtime, while everyone rushes to get fed, do chores, homework, possibly extra curricular activities. Plus being tired takes away the patience and even the ease of picking up on the teachable moments.

I've always been a stay at home mother. I haven't had the exhaustion other parents get from working all day, so I've been able to be mentally fresh for my children. I pulled mine out when my oldest was in third and my middle was in second. I wish I had never put them in. They were eager learners before that with just me, the school made them hate certain subjects and took away their confidence in them. We do not do anything that resembles normal schooling. I meet people all the time who say, you can always tell when you're dealing with home schooled children, they're so much more respectful, responsible, knowledgeable, and use logic. It's the truth. I make my kids think all day, every chance we get, to figure things out. They also are responsible all day for life events around the house, turkeys escaped again? Go catch or herd them in. Patrol the property and check for problems regularly. Help prepare dinner. Anticipate feed needs and accurately bring home the right amount of each kind. Consequences of failure aren't as big when you can be there to correct mistakes, but you can thoroughly talk about what happens if the mistakes aren't caught.

It was really hard to get my husband on board with home schooling. He's convinced they will never be able to go to college. It's very clear that's not true; many start college in early to mid teen years and finish before some finish high school. It depends on their motivation. I don't want mine in college anyway. I want them to find what they feel a purpose in and pursue that specifically. If it's something like becoming a doctor, then sure go to college. (Mine will not pursue that, they know all about big pharma). My eldest son currently works for his horse lessons and loves it. My middle, a daughter, hasn't found her niche yet, but she's only twelve.

Make sure you don't make learning a chore. Make it enjoyable. Any subject that comes up that is interesting can be a teaching moment and you can use it to get any subject covered. For example, animal feed: science of nutrients, math of cost, projected cost, trends of cost, really can make it as complicated as you want, social studies of the kinds of people who buy feed, the impacts of people having animals and self sufficiency, the history of husbandry, etc.

You don't need a program is all I'm saying. Be present, curious, patient.

Have fun! They grow up way too fast!!!

Yeah that kid needs to get more sleep.

A lot of kids simply aren't awake in the morning. I went through school exhausted the whole time because they made us wake up in the morning, which is primarily done so that the school can be babysitters while parents wake up early to go work for the man. None of this is good, and I don't do any of it in my adult life.

Don't just pull them out. This is an opportunity. Contact some of the other parents and make a big stink about this as a group.

Force them to explain to a group of angry parents why they are forcing "divisive political propaganda" (specifically use those words) onto children. Force them to tell you whatever evil propaganda they're trying to push.

Demand the teacher be fired. Demand a plan to from the administration to end any "anti-white racism" "communist propaganda" "anti-natal/homosexual propaganda" and whatever else from the school.

You are in a perfect position to do some real good in the world. Don't squander it. This is how we start to fix the situation.

Was he wearing a mask? He may be oxygen deprived. I can't think of any other reason.

I read the pic and thought this was nursing home notes on an old patient that had trouble staying awake in the morning so they were going to adjust the medication
