Parents are not to be trusted

There seems to be a common thread in the Biden administration. Parents are not to be trusted.

Biden's secretary of education said news.yahoo.com... "I don't have too much respect for people that are misbehaving in public and acting like they know what’s right for kids."

In otherwords, parents don't know what is best for their children, only the government, and Democrats know what is best for children.

Biden himself said to teachers "they (children) are yours (the public school/government) when they are in the classroom" www.usatoday.com... ... www.washingtontimes.com...

Liberal school districts demanded that parents who disagree with their liberal policies be investigated by the FBI. This was backed up by the Biden administration. nypost.com...

It seems the current political party with the most power doesn't trust parents and thinks that government knows what is best for your children, your grandchildren, your nieces, your nephews. Especially when it comes to what happens in school.

They fight school choice where parents send their kids to schools that fit their value system. (i.e. not teaching first graders about masturbation, that if you are white you are born an oppressor, and if you are black you are born oppressed)

Even though the most successful stories of charter schools and school choice prove that children of color are the ones who benefit and gain the most.

Baltimore is a Democrat Party stronghold. www.theguardian.com... 13 of their schools 100% of the children failed to pass the state's basic math test. www.msn.com... But they are probably well educated on racism, gender theory, and the how to's of most if not all forms of sexuality. criticalrace.org... ... www.nbcnews.com...

Personally, I don't trust anyone who has decided they are more intelligent, wiser, and know best what is good for everyone else and do their best to force their views on others, and especially on children. Anyone who thinks they know what is best for EVERYONE and does their best to force everyone to think and speak only the way they approve, is dangerous in my opinion. Especially when they threaten social media sites with governmental punishment if they don't censor anyone who doesn't toe their approve line of speech and thought. www.npr.org...

I don't trust people who make regulations that encourage children to lie to and deceive parents and mandate that teachers lie to and deceive parents.

If I can't trust someone with my children or grandchildren, I certainly can't trust them with my country.

Once again, Orwell nailed it.

I'd say love your parents, no matter what.

Maybe not every parent is a "good" parent, buy when they're gone, nobody will ever love you like they did.

Look around you it is true. Not in general but more often than you'd want it to be. From 200 you got maybe 60 who are beyond criticism and the rest ... shouldn't have had children in the first place.

Bitching about the schools is like a perfect example: why are the schools responsible for your children to do well?
They aren't they are a place to learn social behaviour and absolutely rely on the parents to make sure the children are doing their homework and get the help they need if they have not understood things they should have.
What do parents do?
Complain about the teachers because they're Mr. & Ms. Dunning-Kruger who would fail utterly if they'd try to do their kids homework, if they could get their eyes long enough off the next screen, but live in a delusion bubble of them being the best, smartest etc...
That is the issue.
A generation of dumb entitled brats raising kids because of social norms and actually mentally incapable to take care of anyone more complicated than a goldfish.

You don't have kids, do you.

The number of sexually deviant teachers who groom and assault students seems to be increasing and thanks to the teachers union they're given the option to resign or retire, often without notifying parents.

Any teacher who's willing to teach masturbation and and 'how to' sex acts to a child is a deviant and predator, as is anybody who supports this insane movement to F up the mind of innocents.

I have a college degree in Information Technology. I minored in math. My son tutored math to other students in high school.

Neither of us could figure out some of the damn math homework in middle school, my grandsons brought home. It was a confused mess of English terms but few explanations of the actual math. It was like someone was teaching it but didn't understand it, so couldn't teach in any other way but by verbal description. it was a mess. It was example light, no solutions given. Not from a text book. It was pamphlet type handouts.

Homework should not take hours and hours every night. If it does, you may as well be homeschooling. What do they do at school all day? Get indoctrinated?

It is said " The Child...becomes Father...to the Man". We are born, grow, become our parents...no matter how hard we try not too.

It's life...seed to sapling, to tree, to rot, t seed again, sapling etc....over n over.

I woke up one day married at 18, writing cks, buying cars, homes...and bitchin about bills and thoughrt "CRAP! I've become Dad!"

Just think - if you were growing up today you might have said, "Crap I've become Mom!" with the clandestine help of your teachers and the school system.

On purpose, yes it is true I don't. I watched my sister and my mother and aunts #ing it up hard and said: better not.
Also didn't feel the urge to give my genes a prolonged suffering in this world of the bat# crazy apes.

During COVID I was my granddaughter's "teacher" who is in a good public school, one of the top in the nation in a deep red state.

HOWEVER, she constantly got her math wrong according to the math program she was forced to use, actually we did. Because she didn't get the answer the right way. She just knew the answer and put down the correct numerical answer, but got it WRONG because it wasn't done the way they wanted her to do it. So the right answer according to the online math teaching supplied by the government during COVID was wrong and the correct numerical math answer was incorrect.

That is how they are teaching math these days.

a reply to: The2Billies

well because that is part of the training, right? Can you follow the method/path to find the right way. That has never been different actually.

If I teach you sthg and ask you to discuss a curve you can't just put down x=4 and draw a line, how you get there matters much more.
It's important to learn that early. Like always carry the units in physics.

I am a retired Prof of Child development and Parenting.

15% of parents are "abusive" parents who should not have had children.

34% of government run foster care and total child care facilities are "abusive"

according to statistics.

The government is far worse when it comes to unsafe residential care for children than parents are.

a reply to: The2Billies

All of this just seems stupid.
If your child feels the need to subject themselves to ridiculous subject matter as these then the parent is to blame.
There are ways to raise a child that doesn't require the gubment to step in and when it does, be it the left or right it directly is taking away family values.
And if ya don't like public education then do your research and fund that program and send the little ones to it.
End of conversation in my mind.

a reply to: The2Billies

I actually would hope so. However I would prefer to see those statistics for myself, if you could link them?

But you know my main point is just antagonistic to your OP because in reality I haven't seen one child/person who didn't get #ed up on the way to adulthood.

one way or the other. Nobody is interested in fixing that, it is an obvious problem, but people keep popping out babies and think somehow their offspring won't turn into the same mess everybody is, if they (you) blame the gov hard enough it will get better, right? How?
Riddle me that

If you'd ever met my Dad, you wouldn't be saying that.

There are approximately 56 million children in the US. www.statista.com...

Approximately 600,000 children are abused each year. So my stats are off, it is lower than I said. www.nationalchildrensalliance.org...

I was also off on the foster care system. It is worse. 40% of children report sexual abuse in foster care. ballardbrief.byu.edu... ...
www.npr.org...

Also, group homes have a much worse abuse rate than parents. www.nursinghomelawcenter.org...

Yet the liberals say they can do a much better job of parenting than actual parents. At least Biden, the Dem Teacher's Union, and the Secretary of Education say they can do a better job than parents who they have implied over and over, aren't to be trusted with their children.

If one intuitively knows the correct answer, to tell the child their correct answer is wrong and to mark it wrong - well that teaches the child the answer is only right if an authority tells them it is right. That they can't be correct without doing it the way they were told, even if they know the correct answer. It says you aren't good enough even if you know the correct answer without the approval of a government approved authority.
