I encouraged my kids to not wear the mask at school and to be respectfully defiant of all the stupid covid rules. After a few phone calls and emails from their various schools, said admin from the schools gave up trying to get them to comply. It may have had something to do with the four page email I sent to each teacher, dean, principal, board of education member, their attorneys and a few local politicians. The email was not politely worded and spelled out (the short version), "If you forcibly jab my kids I'm coming for all of you, all your stuff and will do everything possible to get all of you locked up". Best guess is the law firm for the school district told admin to back off as within about a week of the email the stupid stopped.

Then the "home learning, remote learning, virtual learning" BS started.

Straight A honor roll student went to C's. Marginal second child was failing. Youngest was doing OK, but not really learning anything.

Covid was not a good time for my kids. My wife and I, along with other families pretty much ignored the edicts from Gov. Evers and had our kids do as many normal things as possible.

The freshmen class at any high school n the US after the lockdowns were lifted was a mess. The kids that missed freshmen year and were starting high school as sophomores was even worse. Fights, truancy and just a general apathy about all of it.

Most of the area school boards were taken over by conservatives. Most. The closer one was to and urban area the worse the stupid was. Those schools were and are still a mess.

Start prosecuting someone for something. The rest will fall all over themselves to cut deals, squeal and rat on each other.
