I’ve been warning that the Education Freedom Account (EFA) program could eventually lead to a complete government take over of private and religious education in New Hampshire. HB1610 showed us that Democrats were even willing to go a step further and attempt to take over home-school education, too.
As schools begin the shift to providing mental health services, parents need to be aware of some big problems that have been uncovered. Personally identifiable mental health information on students has already been shared, but schools are still failing to acquire informed parental consent for their child’s mental health assessments and services.
It is a classic tale of progressive woe; years of lousy policy create a problem that those responsible insist needs more funding … for them to fix it. The correct course of action is to fire all of them, take back your money and power, and do something different, but it is a hill they … Read more
This is an attempt to “break out” memes, links, and my commentary about the situation in Israel / the Middle East so as to not overload the standard meme posts that I do. My last “normal” meme post. In these Israel-related posts I don’t just have memes such, but lots of informative links as well … Read more
Looking at some of the decisions and practices in public schools, I’m not surprised by the mental health challenges some students are now experiencing. There have been calls for action because of the mental health problems many of our post-COVID students face.
The CDC’s new model for public schools will be called community schools. In this model, public schools will offer mental health and medical services to students. This has already begun with the infusion of the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), which is SEL-Social and Emotional Learning.
Parents in SAU4 serving the communities of Alexandria, Bridgewater, Bristol, Danbury, Groton, Hebron, Hill, and New Hampton, spoke passionately against the CDC wellness policy proposed for their school district at a recent school board meeting.
Parents in every School district are losing parental consent over their children. School Boards are revising changes to the EHAB and JLCF policies, which deal with DATA GOVERNANCE SECURITY and WELLNESS, respectively.
First, let me say that I am writing this for all the right reasons and, likely, at considerable expense to myself. What I am about to tell you will not be received well by those with more power than me. I am not taking the typical political move of cowardly leaks and anonymity – I … Read more
If you want school systems that work, start by getting rid of teachers’ unions. They are a Special Interest racket to enrich adults and do not better the educational system for the benefit of kids. Doubt me?
There was a discussion about an outside agency coming in to “train” students of all grades in “Social and Emotional Learning” at a particular NH-based School District. What concerned folks was its progressive word-salad mission statement (shared below).
Back in 2010, Diane Ravitch, an Education Historian, wrote an article exposing the 21st-Century-Skills movement in public education. In her article, A Century of Skills Movement, she explains where this need to redesign public education from a liberal arts model to a workforce training model originated.
As a parental rights advocate in New Hampshire, I talk to parents frequently about the challenges their children face in our public schools. I offer them advice on how to navigate some of those challenges, like opting out of objectionable materials assigned to their children.
Do you get the feeling that school administrators do not want you challenging them on the garbage they are allowing in your district now? From Pornography for kids to gender theory to CRT to assignments that are more about identity and self-examination than actually learning any quality academic content. The Keene school district is no … Read more
More attempts to remove parental consent need to be given serious thought! This is an email sent to the Superintendent in SAU21 and the School Board Members.
Recently, a Canadian professor, Katja Thieme, proclaimed, “Let. Little. Children. See. Penises. And. Vulvas. Of. Various. Ages. And. Sizes. In. A. Casual. Normalized. Totally. Safe. Way.” Professor Thieme proposes a simplistic form of exposure therapy to teach children about sexual themes, which is at best misguided and, at its worst, laying the foundation for children to … Read more
This is a continuation of Skip’s post, addressing Kevin Verville’s original email comments on my post and other comments made by people (whose identities will be kept private) who joined in on that thread. Thanks to everyone who did!
Recently I came upon an Opt Out Form Letter for parents to take to their school administrators and teachers to notify them of what they will be opting their child out of when they attend their local public school. It’s a good letter, but I wanted to tweak it a bit for New Hampshire Parents.
Dear Representatives: After reviewing the House Education Committee discussion on student mental health during a work session on June 28, 2023, I wanted to add some commentary.
To all those who are sending in memes, thank you! Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left. Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!
