@susie dress code isn't public school, it's private school.

i don't live in finland so i don't know, but at least in the US it is in a pretty dire state. it has gotten to the point where like half of the high schoolers i know are graduating or have graduated early because they're so sick of it. the public school system has never been great, but it feels antagonistic at this point to anyone who is actually there to learn.

the teachers aren't just left-leaning. they certainly were mostly left-leaning when i was in school, but these days it is full-on wacky stuff like having BLM and pride flags displayed in the classroom and in the hallways, coming down really hard on kids who don't like that kind of stuff, etc. hell, even when i was in high school i got shadowbanned from my articles appearing in the newspaper simply for saying that someone from the drama club who was trans should try to work on their mental health. on facebook, not even in school. the teacher came down on me and was like "i don't want to hear any of that rhetoric in my classroom." okay bitch, i wasn't going to say anything in your classroom anyway because, i don't know, writing articles for the school paper has nothing to do with that?

then you have this whole thing of "egg cracking" where teachers try and find kids who may be trans and try to get them to start transitioning behind their parents' backs. there's a subreddit called r/TransTeachers where they more or less talk about this kind of shit all the time and it has been privated since people found out about it.

even on the r/Teachers sub, they are talking about shit like this. it is 100% out of control at this point and sending your child to public school in the US guarantees that they will be exposed to attempted brainwashing one way or another.

@susie i agree that kids definitely shouldn't be 100% sheltered or anything like that.

but crap like this is always coming out about schools and it makes you wonder how much of it isn't exposed. the propaganda in schools is just the tip of the iceberg it seems and that alone is enough for me to want to keep my kids far away. a private school near me has a strict dress code but legitimately lets kids come to school dressing in fursuits if it is their "identity."

the actual best teachers i had, which i started to learn closer to the end of high school, were always the ones who were strait-laced and knew their job was to teach. one of my favorite teachers in middle school, and a lot of kids' favorite, kidnapped a girl in 2020. stowed her in a rubber maid in his classroom for hours. apparently he had complaints levied against him to the school by parents for inappropriate contact with their children for years.

i already didn't trust the school system to teach my kids the things they need to know in a way that would be the most beneficial for them, the learning environment is very good to begin with, but these days it definitely feels like schools have sunk even further.

i found out rather recently that just before the columbine shooting happened, there were complaints of a class being taught about death and how to embrace it, that dying wasn't so bad because after death you're no longer in pain and all of that. it made a lot of the kids there suicidal. makes you wonder. and that was back in the 90s.

@beardalaxy Since when did Dan Schneider become a high school principle?

shit like this is probably happening all the time at tons of schools and completely in the dark. HOMESCHOOL YOUR CHILDREN

@girl i'm feeling very "you get what you fucking deserve" right now

have you guys heard about the fucking oklahoma high school where the kids were licking peanut butter off of adults' feet for a fundraiser????

all the adults involved should be aaron bushnell'd. what kind of world do we live in where this is even the slightest bit okay??? where nobody thought for a split second "oh, this isn't good guys, maybe we shouldn't do this." everyone who knew about this is 100% complicit in not trying to stop it.

their only answer was "oh the kids volunteered to do it" yeah, i'm sure the kids you abused also volunteered to have sex with you right??? fucking hell.

you can look it up yourself, i don't really want to post pictures/videos of it. it's fucked up.

you know what we did for fundraisers in high school? music shows. dance competitions. maybe some incentives for teachers to get their armpits waxed or something. licking peanut butter off of their toes? what the fuck???

as someone with vitiligo, i actually hate seeing it added into things and shoved in my face. it makes the disorder seem like a vanity point. i don't want "vitiligo representation." it's not something i even think of on a weekly, let alone daily basis. it's just a part of me and i don't give a shit if it's "normalized." makes me feel gross that i even have something that can be taken advantage of for "diversity" points like that.

LESS THAN 1% OF THE GLOBAL POPULATION HAVE IT. IT'S NOT NORMAL. IT'S NOT CHIC OR FASHIONABLE. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT.

@ChristiJunior i haven't visited the website until now, holy fuck why did they feel the need to turn the mouse cursor into a green dot that's so annoying

@ChristiJunior looking more into it, his reason for removing them is because they aren't actually listed on the SBI website, just in the imdb credits, which can be edited by anyone so it isn't a reliable source.
