Time to homeschool and use a private teacher and a pod of students whose families feel the same. That idea came out of the pandemic and it seems like a really good one to me. If I had a young child still in school, that’s what I would do.

We came to Canada when I was only 3 years old. My dad came first with just a suite case and brought my mom and me over just under a year later, also just a suite case. Point is my parents had to work hard in the early days to make a home.

My parents quickly learned that some baby sitters were giving kids alcohol to make them sleep all day so that the sitters didn't have to fuss too much. This came to light when a sick child was taken to a doctor.

My parents then agreed that my dad would work 2 jobs if necessary and my mom would stay home to look after me. My dad, a tradesperson, eventually went on to start a business and we lived a very nice life. I'm 65ish today.

Point is: make the necessary sacrifices for your children. They won't hinder you long term.

They'll get around to mandating standards for home schooling, eventually. You'll be required to host drag shows in your home, so you'll need monkeypox vax, too.

EXACTLY. It bends my mind how, after this debacle, ANY one could conclude otherwise.

Me too, it would be home schooling all they way!

If you click the 'heart' button, your selection is registered on the system but doesn't always show up on your screen until you refresh your browser. Doing that however loses your place.

Oh, the hardships of life!
