The COVID-19 school closures have been tough on both parents and teachers; however, we still must work together to ensure we can do the best for students at this time. The bottom line is school staff must communicate with parents, and if this is not happening, then parents must advocate for their children to ensure they are receiving the best education at this time.

Did you know school principals can issue warrants and their school resource officers can arrest parents for something like recording staff abusing their children? Me either.

It's right for equity advocates to focus attention on the students deemed needier. At the same time, they shouldn't allow their advocacy to mean other students aren't likely to need support too.

The possibility of independent thinkers is the thing that haunts the Devil. He says he fears that "someday some courageous person will reverse the present system of school teaching" and create one where "children establish ways and means of developing their own minds from within."
