[Revmitchell]

A school district in Tennessee is asking parents to sign a form agreeing not to monitor their children’s virtual classrooms over concerns that “non-student observers” could overhear confidential information.

School District Making Parents Sign Waiver Agreeing Not To Monitor Virtual Instruction

Take your kids & run, don’t walk, to the nearest Christian school, or home school. They are not afraid that your kid won’t divulge deep secrets to them, they are afraid you will see what they are ‘teaching’.

Where they will also not be monitored by parents, ya know like just about every kid that has gone to school since the beginning of time.

There is no doubt that a radical liberal leftest ideology is widespread among today’s public schools. That is why they are afraid parents will monitor the classes.

peace to you

Another he/she in a position of superintendent of education in Arizona, who wants to teach kindergarteners how to pleasure themselves & sexual positions, because.......of course that is what all kids need to be taught in public education today. He/she took the swearing in oath on a Dr.Suess book, because he/she doesn’t like the Bible. This is public education today.

A high school in Indiana is having a virtual fire drill for their online students. Seriously.

This is from a commenter on this video:
My wife taught in these stupid systems for 17 years and couldn't take it anymore. No learning actually takes place anymore. All social engineering and touchy / feely crap. She was told at one point to "either comply or risk no longer being found highly effective". She resigned. This year, due to "COVID" they have dropped social studies & science in grade schools. They will let BLM / ANTIFA teach history and MSM teach "science". It's a zoo. We may be RED, but education is 100% dead.

Operative phrase: to school. This is a matter of Big Government trying to tell you what to do in your home, on your own computer while at the same paying themselves using your property taxes.

It’s also about other parents possibly watching your child in class without your knowledge. Did mommy and daddy watch you in class growing up? I know mine didn’t.

Your own personal past is irrelevant, or may prove to be a good reason to change things. Had my own parents known some things going on in school, perhaps changes would have been demanded then.

This is about parents having knowledge of what their children are being exposed to publicly, and of what their children are being publicly coerced to expose. There are reasons to entirely separate children from their parents, but a great many of those are malicious or at least dangerous.

Online, there is no guarantee that there is not someone watching that should not be. Online is not a safe environment for exposing anything of a sensitive nature, especially where children are concerned. Classes should not include interactions that could become embarrassing later on.

I see the connection, but we can disagree.

This is the first generation in the history of this country to ever be put in a virtual learning environment. It’s not my own personal past the entire nations unless you were home schooled.

Of course there is no guarantee. It’s unenforceable and much ado about nothing. The alternative is to send them to school where again, they will not be monitored by their parents. Baseless paranoia about the Tennessee public school system using virtual classrooms as a liberal training ground is just speculative fear mongering.

The form signing is unenforceable, yes, but not “much ado about nothing.” There are significant concerns regarding any conduct from the school system that would elicit or expose sensitive information while online. The onus is on them to refrain from any and all such “instruction,” not for parents to avoid their own exposure to it, as there should be none.

As for liberal training grounds, they should be afraid, very afraid…of concerned parents. Parents are and should be present and attentive to make sure the above is never a problem for any child, especially their own, and the school system may find themselves on the wrong end of the argument regarding indoctrination, if they persist in it, as it will be exposed.

Second paragraph seems like tilting at windmills. You will have to specific about what this school is teaching that is so super secret they don’t want parents to hear it. The article itself explains why they are asking this and I believe it is a reasonable request for instruction.

You are right in a way - privacy laws for kids are different, this waiver seems like a clash of your right to privacy in your own home versus all those laws meant to protect children. There was a bullying instance on the school bus a couple of years ago, one of my kids was present but they blurred out his face since he was not directly involved. It was the law.

And there you have it. Blur out all of the kids images, mask their voices, make everything in the setting anonymous, except the teacher. Then you needn’t worry about other parents or illegal prying eyes. Now, nothing left to hide...unless you’re worried parents might find out just how their children are being indoctrinated by certain “educators.”

What happens if you refuse to sign?
