Normal human instincts reject asphyxiation. I think this is a cruel thing to do to children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There should be enough teachers out-of-work that a number of families should be able to band together  to hire a teacher to teach their children in a home-schooling format. Like a one-room school house. Set their own rules. So much would depend on the upbringing of the children--whether they have good self-discipline, have been raised to be courteous and helpful rather than lazy and disruptive. With one teacher and a rotating parent volunteer, so much more could be accomplished--at least at the elementary level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the problems with public schools is that they have been asked to do more than teach. They now attend to the child&amp;#39;s food, health and emotional needs. These are the basic responsibilities of parenting.  No wonder schools struggle to teach the 3 R&amp;#39;s with all the additional mandates. The ultimate solution is restoring the family unit and traditional values. If schools are not meeting a child&amp;#39;s need, the responsibility falls back on the parents to find better solutions. Unfortunately, the tax dollars spent on a child&amp;#39;s education cannot be directed by the parents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the earliest founding of our nation, the black-robed column has been a strong guiding and stabilizing influence in society. Many churches now operate more like corporations and have become nothing more than glorified coffee houses. Either they no longer have a message to share or the coffee was lousy and they went out of business.  Some of the language and behavior I have observed inside churches is shameful.  I have also been shocked to be turned away when asking for some very small favor to help those in need.  Esp. when it involved no cost to the church and no more than an hour of their time, if that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many children lack good role models, 2 good parents, church, school, sports, movies... they no longer know right from wrong, only expediency.&lt;/p&gt;

Being in nature. Eating organic fruit/vegetables/no gluten/low sugar/no soy/no GMO/no food with a label. Taking supplements that help the immune system like Zn/Mg/fish oil/Vit C/Vit A/herbs/onion/garlic/mushroom/Nature&amp;#39;s plus- Source of life multiple and sunlight may help the immune system and help happiness. The masks are causing strange &amp;nbsp;personality/depression/attacks etc.. We are like a candle/car engine which needs oxygen to work right. Pets may help and activities. Swimming at a pool may be available..the chlorine kills germs/viruses etc. Seeing family/friends may help. God bless!&lt;/p&gt;

Their innocent lives attacked by the never-ending, fear-mongering, restrictions and distancing from their social circles. I have four grandchildren. My heart breaks, thinking about what the future may be like, if the evil agenda isn&amp;#39;t ended. Civil rights and liberties are manmade statues - they are sacred, as they reflect the God given rights of Life itself. Americans must unite, to keep Democracy alive and well, in the face of internal threats against it.&lt;/p&gt;

She finally TEXTED her mother and told her she was afraid for herself. That got the dialogue rolling and my granddaughter spent several days in &amp;nbsp;a teenage psych ward with weekly zoom visits with a therapist afterward. Kids need to be with other kids. It&amp;#39;s not just about learning.&lt;/p&gt;
