Clearly the teacher&amp;#39;s unions are pushing leftist drivel and so have the teachers, running metoo campaigns against conservative educators for the last 50 plus years. In the last twenty, teachers Sat idle or gleefully tapped a fraudulent diagnosis scam, ADD and ADHD, to terrorize parents and drug and destroy children with permanent brain damage. Then the hyper vaccine promotion, it&amp;#39;s like their pension funds are fatly stacked with pharmaceutical companies... Like back in the 60&amp;#39;s they invested in pop companies, and pop machines arrived in schools soon after. We don&amp;#39;t need a bunch of strangers and leftists and advocates of child poisonings, profiteering and exposing kids to insane levels of wifi. I can respect every teacher fired for speaking out for their students... Myself included, because if you can&amp;#39;t respect yourself because you know you&amp;#39;re being dishonest and hurtful, you don&amp;#39;t deserve anyone&amp;#39;s respect. Time for the public, to cancel culture the public education &amp;#39;system&amp;#39;...fire the corrupt teachers, their boards, their unions and their unholy connection to corporate scumbags and in some cases, secret societies. We don&amp;#39;t need our children being raised and educated by people we can&amp;#39;t and shouldn&amp;#39;t respect, because of their collective track record. Charter schools, private parent run schools and home schooling moving forward would make better sense.&lt;/p&gt;

Evidently, these parents are too busy to read; for instance, the FDA warnings on the many hand sanitizers containing methanol that are toxic (or maybe just more toxic than those without methanol). Also ignorant of the fact that very few children get sick or die from the alleged virus. Add to that that they should supplement their children&amp;#39;s diet (and their own) to boost the immune system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as home schooling, it should be a choice. However, not all parents are qualified to teach and many don&amp;#39;t have the time if they have a job. And children still need to socialize with other children.&lt;/p&gt;

Also I believe home schooling (for those families that can do so) will provide a more rounded education. Nowadays even many of the elementary schools are pushing the left wing narrative that the United States is evil. And on hand sanitizers, if you’re picking up after your dog, fine. But those people who apply hand sanitizers every time they touch a door knob or car steering wheel are weakening their immune systems. If you don’t use it, you lose it. Let your immune system do its job.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; During this time of Covid many government schools are proposing a “homeschool” option. &amp;nbsp;Yes, the program is&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;done at home, but is created and supervised by teachers. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; It is my hope and prayer that many parents will see that education can be so much more enriching &amp;nbsp;than following a “one size fits all” curriculum. &amp;nbsp;Perhaps this is the time parents will promote a love of learning for their child(ren), to read books aloud together and discuss them, to get excited about science experiments, to explore individual interests, and to make some wonderful memories together.&lt;/p&gt;

In Germany homeschooling is forbidden.&lt;/p&gt;

Parents prob have a realistic understanding of children&amp;#39;s behavior.   I am not fond of hand sanitizer.  I think applying alcohol to the skin repeatedly is self-defeating, in that, it will dry skin and create fissures in the skin that allow disease to enter the body.  Following hand sanitizer with applications of hand cream is prob not such a good idea, either.  A lot of ingredients in hand cream are crap. We rely on soap/water and a UV machine top sterilize what enters the house.  It is a fairly rapid process. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My housekeeping is so bad due to many other demands on my at this time of year. &amp;nbsp;I told my husband, &amp;quot;The CDC says you are going to die because I do not have time to wipe down and sterilize all surfaces.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;We both had a laugh. &amp;nbsp;We realize we have both optimized vitamin D and have strong immune systems. &amp;nbsp;The only things that will ultimately protect you are your immune system or herd immunity as &amp;quot;the virus&amp;quot; (?) burns itself out. &amp;nbsp;CDC data shows new cases have already fallen to pre-pandemic levels. &amp;nbsp;Even the vaccines currently being researched are not as effective as vitamin D optimization and a strong immune system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My few exposures are limited. &amp;nbsp;I must travel for work, but it is in the wilderness without exposure to other people. &amp;nbsp;The garbage goes out more often than I do. &amp;nbsp;Very little and very infrequently. &amp;nbsp;If I must make a trip to town, I do it all at once. &amp;nbsp;I am still freaked out by the people I see freaking out to the point of absurdity.&lt;/p&gt;
