“Here’s How Your Children Are Getting Indoctrinated by Leftist Ideology.”
This post by Doug Blair has been popping up in a number of places and I first found it at The Daily Signal. The days of the teacher, a wooden desk, a blackboard, and apple are long gone. We’ve posted examples of this indoctrination regime in the past – more of “higher Ed” than the lower grades.
Promoted from the Comments – “NH is actually not a good place to raise kids anymore.”

Teachers, is Your Profession Becoming Obsolete?
Years ago I saw a survey by parents that indicated they preferred their children attending a local public school using a traditional model where their children were taught by great teachers. I think most everyone would agree with that, even when they opt for a private school.
If Andru Volinsky wants to Cut Property Taxes, He Should Become a School Superintendent
Andru Volinsky, a candidate for governor of New Hampshire, has a problem understanding how property taxes are paid in the Granite State.

Education today – Why is Academics THIRD in this list of Responsibilities?
This is an ad that was put into the Laconia Daily Sun. Now, I expect for many communities, there are going to be a lot of ads for teachers and such due to staff not wanting to physically to return to the schools (and some not wanting to even do Remote Learning as well.

Recently, Reason published an article based on this analogy: ‘If a Walmart doesn’t reopen, families can take their food stamps elsewhere. If a school doesn’t reopen, families should similarly be able to take their education dollars elsewhere.’
Teachers have forgotten that they’re in the customer service business (and they are making the customers unhappy)
Teachers have forgotten that they’re in the customer service business. In fact, they’ve forgotten they have customers that just happened to have outsourced their responsibility to teach their kids to others. Now, they may well be taking that responsibility back because of bad customer service.

“COVID19” is Taking a Toll on High Schoolers But It’s Not the Virus
COVID19 is taking a toll on high schoolers but is not as a result of the actual virus. The CDC’s Dr. Robert Redfield notes that we’ve seen more suicides and more drug overdoses among high schoolers than deaths from the coronavirus. This is significant so what is the message here?
Blogline of the Day – Teachers: what unions are saying won’t match up with their results.
Teachers Refusing To Go Back In The Fall Launch ‘Every Child Left Behind’ Movement. OK, it’s satire (it IS the Babylon Bee, after all).

If they aren’t willing to do the time, then we should take away the dime
The above is the SHOT – and now… CHASER: He’s right – WHY would we want to hand over our kids to be educated by those that DON’T WANT TO BE THERE? These same folks that have not only said that they don’t want to be there educationally but are making demands that have NOTHING … Read more
NH Dems Want a Statewide Mandate on School Reopening? What if Gov. Sununu Could Do this!
The State released a well-thought-out guidance document on reopening schools this fall.
