A DNR (Do not Resuscitate) is a legal document used in the medical field for patients to deny medical resuscitation and to pass away peacefully.
The public school system needs to have a DNR. We cannot continue supporting the current public education model status quo and "agree to disagree" with those who use and support it. The system cannot continue operating with an unchecked funding scheme and we must stop voting for new taxes, which empowers this wicked and broken system to continue. We must let it fail so that it either can be reformed with the necessary changes that need to be made or abolished and replaced with a modern education system that works, that empowers parents to be more involved in their children’s education, and which deters bureaucrats from infiltrating the system with their bizarre political ideologies.
DNR Public School Funding
There is no such thing as a "Good School District"
There is no such thing as “A good school district”. They are *all* part of a toxic system that is set up to fail. Families are purchasing homes based on arbitrary school ratings which leads to a vicious cycle of pouring ever-more amounts of money, time, and effort into a school system that is harming our children. And even if parents try to get involved, it won’t matter: the school system is a “moving target” because schools are constantly changing their policies, curriculum, and processes. This blog posts outlines some examples of some serious problems happening. They are not “fringe” or “isolated incidents”. They have been happening for decades in schools nationwide and they will continue unless we take action.
People Worship the Public Schools
This is weird. Stop it.
In addition to buying a home based on ratings, parents are painting their driveways, buying class rings, and spending huge amounts of money and time to show their “school spirit”. People put school stickers on their vehicles and wear clothing with their school name on it. There are championship parades, excessive social media posts and street signs installed to celebrate athletic achievements. Old yearbooks are kept in town museums. Teachers are celebrated with special career incentives, tenure and “teacher appreciation” weeks.
And yet, does any of this matter when our children reach adulthood? Does any employer want to know which elementary, intermediate, or high school you went to? What matters most is that our children enter adulthood with the ability to do the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic, and that they have the skills and expertise to do work in the real world. They should know our history (the real history of America), and they should know the laws of our country and how it runs. Instead, they are being taught to worship idols and then mythologizing those idols, so that they will continue to do so with their children and their children’s children.
We are romanticizing and aggrandizing our schools to make them much more than they need to be. People like to imagine teachers are like Miss Honey from "Matilda" or Miss. Frizzle from "The Magic School bus" where school is a wonderful experience as portrayed in the movies. It's not. They are unsafe, indoctrination centers that are in the news daily due to safety, teen suicides and pedophile teachers.
Litter Boxes are in Schools
Having human bathroom stuff sitting open is obviously not healthy. It is also not OK for us taxpayers to be paying for our schools to "prepare children for the real world" when they are encouraging and overly accommodating "furry" students the freedom to bypass social norms for politically correct "inclusion" purposes. The Furry fandom is an adult activity with sexual aspects. It is totally inappropriate to expose school children to this lifestyle who witness this happening in their building. Can you really imagine these children working in an office or retail store one day with the expectation that they use a normal bathroom, because not everyone is going to be accommodating to this fetish in public.
Holiday Sale
Teachers are making news daily for Pedophilia, personal indoctrination and overall misconduct in the classroom.
Stop funding this behavior!
"The Rate race" in children is embraced and encouraged. They are having long days where they are expected to sit down and be quiet for hours. After school, Some will go to after school care, extracurriculars, and have homework where they will again be expected to be “on” for longer. There is excessive testing, Unnecessary homework, and busy work like watching movies in the classroom. There are limited days children are "allowed" to be absent from school for illness. This is a photo of a teacher limiting restroom passes. There is little time for kids to climb trees, rest, ride bikes, free play, or have quality time with family. Children spend too little time with their family. Family interactions have been reduced to "two ships passing in the night".
Kids still have life to do - grieving over a loved one, going to the dentist and visiting with relatives. Kids are expected be responsible at a young age for their homework, jackets, water bottles, special projects and spirit weeks at young age, piling more and more on their mental load. Adults would never be OK with this much sitting and working if this was a job. Why do we do it to children?
