This is a parent being a parent, there is no greater teacher than a parent, parents know what’s best for their children!

As a former substitute teacher I'm so glad this principal mentioned the fact about mis-behaviors in the classroom. That's the BIGGEST reason I refused to return to substitute teaching this coming academic are out of control with no respect today!

She calls herself a "former educator". She is still an educator, in the most important classroom of all. Home.

What’s scarier is the new teachers coming in from these progressive universities.

Yep! After working in the public school for a decade, I realized that if i had my own kids, no way I'd send them to that dumpster fire. Quit when i got married and now I homeschool my 3 kiddos. Best decision ever!

Teachers are leaving because there are no consequences for kids. Everyone is afraid of their boss and the kids have no fear. It's never the students fault it's always the teachers fault and the kids know it. Also they lowered the standards for kids.

Thumbs up and Salute to this Principal 👍

Good for me as a public school teacher my wife and I chose to Homeschool our kids until I changed careers. We could see that our public schools were going liberal...and that was years ago. We also called it "selective socialization". Some of the kids back then were behaving like little monsters and it's only gotten worse since then. A retired school teacher put it this way: Teachers are afraid of the Principal, Principals are afraid of the Superintendent, Superintendents are afraid of the School Board, the School Board is afraid of the Parents, the Parents are afraid of their own kids (can't punish them) and the kids AREN'T AFRAID OF ANYBODY!!!

Public education has been in decline for 20-30 years. It mirrors the social decay in society.

[loricover]

Choosing to homeschool our children has been one of the greatest choices we have ever made!

[kkmomma]

I am a former teacher and I stay home to homeschool my kids. Good for her.

We are home schooling here in CT. It's disgusting what the school system is turning into.

[JimSmithInChiapas]

My wife and I have supported homeschoolers in the US and in Chiapas, Mexico, for over 20 years.

If you volunteer in the school you will find out what is going on

Watching an empire fall under this horrific Administration is heartbreaking .

[captaingoodguySentientA.I.]

no kid should have to listen to other kids talk about their pronouns

[Lifewiththecanos]

Round of applause for this Principal 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. “the hands that should matter most are those of the parents and the students”. She couldn’t have said it better.

[bigwon]

She gave up a phenomenal salary to homeschool her kids. That is how terrible the education system is.

A friend of ours has been a teacher for 30 years. Said in recent years, they have been taught to not discipline the minority kids because the parent will just blame the teacher for being prejudiced. The parents have all bought in to this ridiculous notion that everyone is out to get their kids, they teach this rubbish to their kids so everyone in that community doesn’t trust these fine teachers who really have the kids best interest at heart. Another generation of these kids won’t succeed and the parents will blame society. Never ending cycle until that community takes responsibility for themselves.

When the good lord called my family to homeschool I didn't understand anything about it I just answered the call, and it has been the best decision we made.. God has open my eye's to see why he told us to do so...To all the parents protect your children by any means, because no one will love and educate them like you can❤
