- There are other average families there too. It’s fine.
- Yes. Grandparents pay tuition. No way we could
- Do you feel like you don't fit in?
- No we are fine. But i really dont value those things. If i was likely to compare myself or keep up with jones on things, maybe
- Do you feel like you don't fit in?
- depends. hhi?
- what does hhi mean?
- There are other average families and families with very little FA. It’s always been fine for my kid. Youngest is a senior.
- It's worth getting a private education even if you don't "fit in" as much as you'd like imo
- Fwiw we never had a problem fitting in. There are all kinds of families. And yes majority are wealthy, but still never an issue

- Elementary Why do schools use zoom? Ours uses Google classroom
- Zoom has major security issues. I wonder too
- I don't know, Karen. Start calling every school and askng them.
- Do you mean Google Meet?
- Yes
- Publics use Google Classroom.
- Ours uses Classroom for assignments but Zoom for remote meetings
- Our NYC TT private uses Google Classroom. The publics use zoom
- Np: this is silly. Our NYC public uses both. Teachers choice.
- Our NYC public uses Classroom, Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams

- Do says in Google you can't do Speaker View so today when the art teacher was showing them something it was 1/20th of the screen just like everyone else's pic
- That's not true. There are many different modes in Google Meet.
- Not true
- Does the teacher need to set something up or my ds? In Zoom it is obvious what tondo.
- No clue, but I see my kid's screen

- Elementary Why do people criticize homeschoolers so much?...(more)

- Liberals want the government to dictate what kids learn and believe
- lol
- exhibit A
- This is precisely true
- This post has been disliked 3 times. i'm not a fan of holy rollers or conspiracy theorists or anti vaxxers, which make up a decent amount of homeschooler
- Ugh, the smother mothers or the holy rollers. Not my people.
- It’s so funny you say this! School kids are SO much more babies than my homeschooled kids
- SURE they are!
- I’m not trying go to be a jerk. Homeschooled kids talk to adults more competently, tend to be more independent with all life skills etc
- It's amazing that you have such a handle on the worldwide experience of homeschooled kids.
- Well, I’ve homeschooled for more than 20 years and know hundreds of other families that homeschool so I know at least as much about it as anyone here knows about school kids from...(more)

- It’s so funny you say this! School kids are SO much more babies than my homeschooled kids
- I appreciate you saying this bc I always suspected it
- Because it usually results in massive knowledge gaps
- Not at all
- But so what? Why have such animosity just bc someone else’s child has a knowledge gap?
- My homeschooled daughter is at a CUNY now - in all honesty she has stories every day of kids who went to school and what they don’t know is truly stunning!
- They are so full of themselves
- Really! Gosh, I haven’t found this
- May *not* be for everyone

- I’m homeschooling for the first time this year because of the pandemic. I do not think too highly of it truthfully. It’s so difficult to do it right.
- How so?

- Elementary Does anyone have any intel on how things are going at Brooklyn Friends since the teachers unionized?
- My df says the fighting is over & it’s fine now
- Why are people so afraid of unions?
- They did strike & close school for a bit
- Np I am pro-union and dh is in a union, but the teachers’ union is really not a good thing
- Wrong. The police union is not a good thing. Teachers unions are necessary and good
- I don’t even count the police union, that is a criminal organization. Teachers union is a disaster for American children.

- np are you putting him down?
- I think nature may take its course.
- I'm just saying make sure he's not in pain, bc if so, you have to be humane and put him down
- Np: this. Animals are very stoic. You need to make the tough call, unfortunately
- yes, if they are crying, they are ready to go, don't let them suffer like that
