School district to force parents to sign a waiver not to monitor their children’s online classes.
Rutherford County Schools (RCS), a school district in Tennessee is requiring parents to sign a consent form that says they agree not to monitor their children’s online classroom sessions, claiming concerns that “non-student observers” might hear confidential information.
Another reason to open schools.

If the parents don't like what is being taught they might want the children not to attend. Booting out would be an opportunity, not a punishment.
You couldn't pay me enough to send my children to public school - or to any university except perhaps FIT to take classes from jbrenner.
Opening schools means we NEVER hear the crap they are teaching.
My fathers generation learned that the Pilgrims TRIED and FAILED at Commune Based Living. Nobody tried. Everyone complained, and everyone cheated and stole from each other.
It was when they were given the land, and allowed to reap what they sow, that we had the FIRST Thanksgiving. And that the reason for the VARIETY of foods was that it was the LEFTOVERS from canning everything as they had so much! We even invited the Indians and shared with them, to thank them for their help. Eventually the better farmers owned more land and specialization kicked in, and soon we were EXPORTING excess corn and stuff back to England!
That's not told. A new version where the Indians SAVED us, and then we gave them diseases and used germ warfare (about 100yrs before we understood what germs were) against them, on purpose. Etc. etc. etc.
Sounds like a reason to close the schools permanently and home school your children.
Or fire the administrator that came up with that policy.
Get the children out of the hands of The Comprachicos.
My dad would have loved the idea of parents checking in. I never heard of parental complaint against him.
He would express: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember,I do and I understand in context of his students and their parents interactions.
I wonder if it is not time to redefine manslaughter and murder into context of the physical and the mind ....formally. Rand proposed this. It is up to us to implement.
It responded ,”Please call me ma’am I am not a Sir.” The Dr said”Ok ma’am you have testicular cancer” “I recommend we remove your outside ovaries in the sack under your circumcised clitoris”

1 I am a High School Teacher and I often express my VERY Conservative ideals and then demand of my students to think for themselves. I never pass judgement on their positions but I do demand thatthey defend any positoon from reason and logic not feelings. I live in a pretty Urban area which means I often have some VERY strident students decrying their Liberal mantra. So I would rather not have to deal with parents as well.
2 As a parent it is my Right to monitor EVERYTHING in my childs life, not that I do or even want to, but it is my Right.
I can hear them now, "How dare you ask my child to think for themselves!"
It's time to homeschool. If that is forbidden, then it's time to raise hell.
This public education system is and has been anti-American and should be replaced.
So on the "search engine' I typed "tube movie seventies" and found what I was looking for. The flick was called "The Groove Tube."
I even found a description of the scene. Left out is what I recall (when you see what's in here). On a TV show called "Make Believe Time," Koko the Clown (asks the kiddies to make sure their parents are out of the room).
(Koko lights a cigarette and puffs away as) he reads a page from Fanny Hill with promises of Marquis de Sade the next day.
Me dino recalls seeing that flick in a theater on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, when I used to be a newspaper reporter in a town a half hour's drive south.
The USPS version...due Fridayish.
She uncoveredmuch during her years in the Reagan administration.
The only thing I disagree with her about is the movement of humanism.
The Humanists I am associated with are metaphysical (Rand based Objective) philosophy oriented. And most have not read The Objectivist's Ethics, nor heard of it.

"We're not just talking about a couple of lesson changes," said Marshall. "We're getting to the quintessential work of trying to put race, equity and inclusion inside of our curriculum."
A June survey by the EdWeek Research Center, which is affiliated with the prominent trade publication Education Week, found that 81% of U.S. teachers support the Black Lives Matter movement.
"We can't control what happens with the police, but we can control what happens in our school systems," said Michael McFarland, head of the National Alliance of Black School Educators and a superintendent of the Crowley Independent School District in Texas.
"They're making sure teachers are teaching the right history in their classrooms," said Anna Maria Chavez, the association's executive director.
Scholastic Corp, which publishes educational material to supplement textbooks, said it has seen a surge in demand for books that focus on diversity and equity.
"Schools are wanting to have these more difficult conversations about race and social justice," said Michael Haggen, Scholastic's chief academic officer.

Trinity Thompson and her colleagues, who teach second grade in Harlem, knew they wanted to teach about the BLM movement. However, a couple of false starts made it clear that, for their efforts to be sustained and successful, they needed to establish safety and provide students with context. They decided to form a Cultural Competency Committee to educate themselves about social justice issues, build lesson plans and incorporate family input. The committee developed a six-month curriculum that focuses on education professor Bree Picower’s six elements of social justice curriculum design: self-love and knowledge, respect for others, issues of social injustice, social movements and social change, awareness raising, and social action.
Someone at 2 pm this afternoon killed himself on the street as he was under surveillance.
