Every time a teacher curses me out or gets nasty with me, I add another year to the amount of time I'll be homeschooling my children.
"Hey Bethany, how do you feel about homeschooling your kids?"
I love that they’re still condescending about the great educational disservice I’m doing by homeschooling them when THEY HAVENT WORKED IN A CLASSROOM IN A YEAR.
After everything we have seen this year, I genuinely don’t understand why there are so many people willing to let their children be educated by these people five days a week for eight hours a day. They have told you who they are. Believe them.
Are there good teachers? Yes, absolutely. Can I guarantee I will have my kids’ hearts and minds shaped by only the few good ones their entire academic career? No. Unless, that is, I’m the one doing the teaching.
I feel absolutely fantastic.
I will homeschool through high school to keep my kids away from maniacs like this.
The number of teachers replying to this thread saying they are glad they don’t have my children in their classrooms because they don’t like my politics is proving my point further.

This is the pandemic of privilege. People with money can:
- Use the poor as human shields, doing all of their "essential work"
- Send their kids to private schools, homeschool with tutors, etc.
- Obtain private special services (therapies, etc) privately & pay out of pocket
If you are not loudly advocating for the reopening of schools and society in general, you never again get to tell anyone to "check your privilege."
I count myself as one of the privileged. I use Instacart (and always have), I am paying $$$ for private occupational therapy because everything public & covered in-network is via Zoom and inadequate. I am spending A LOT of time forming social groups for my kids.
I'm going to be honest: I'm struggling with myself over how I feel about the mass banning that Ali faced from the entire internet this weekend.
He is a bad person from every angle: on an interpersonal level, on a political level, from a moral level, everything. He is a convicted felon and a straight-up BAD guy. I really cannot stress this enough.
All of that being said: I don't think I'm comfortable with his ejection from the Internet (Twitter, Venmo/Paypal, etc). He hasn't been convicted of anything over Stop the Steal. I'm SURE he has been grifting and honestly probably engaged in fraud, again.
My favorite Ali moment may be when he insinuated I cheated on my husband while ... at a playground. I mean, couldn’t he have chosen a more plausible story? Yes I have a lot of kids but COME ON.
I never did find out. 😢
Even in these wild fantasies about me cheating I’m still just a mom at a playground. 😅
This lie cost a woman her life today. He keeps telling it.
The natural conclusion of this lie is what happened today. You cannot still be claiming the election was stolen and then also tell people to just go home. The end of this violence comes with the end of the lie about a stolen election.
I’m sorry your daughter died but I’m a narcissist and cannot openly accept defeat. So I kept up this ridiculous story about a stolen election.
