Please be close to your kids if they have been on distance "learning". I thought that all was well (if not at least ok) with my kids. Sure there's been some breakdowns and an event that was somewhat unrelated to this (although in hindsight, probably not) but for the most part /1
...things have been as normal as they could be. Then my wife said she had a discussion with my youngest and it both scared me, and pissed me off at the same time. My daughter said that she can't stand going to school because it isn't school she feels like she's not learning /2
...she's just going through the motions without really learning the assignments. She feels that her teacher isn't real just some figure on a screen and that she really misses her friends and though she's had friends over its not the same. She feels that she's all alone /3
...that no one cares. Then she said something that terrified me, she said that she feels that she doesn't matter and that she doesn't belong in this world. I thought that this was something that I'd never hear from any of my kids because we are an extremely tight family /4
...I can not express the anger that I have at what these school boards and teachers are doing to my kids and yours. I said it before and I will say it again, if your a teacher or an administrator that feels that its unsafe for you to go back...quit, find another job /5
...become a tutor or learn to code. I don't really care what you do but stop interacting with kids because you're ruining them. If you're angered at what I'm saying here FUCK YOU, with all of my heart FUCK YOU. Your failure as an educator has damaged a generation /6
...I can't imagine losing a child (and I hope to God I never have to face that) so we need to make sure that our kids get back (and stay back) because they need to know that their parents care...oh, and my wife and I will be keeping a closer eye on our kids and so should you /end
