How long until they are used to police students?

I just watched a video on DARE and how it was a ploy to get more police in schools and make students into snitches

I watched that video yesterday as well.

We homeschooled during COVID, and after that video I’m seriously tinkering with the idea of doing it again. It was a huge strain on my work schedule, but the kids thrived during that time and never did better in terms of their academic achievement. But, since they’re older now, it would be very hard on them in terms of their socialization and all that.

Public schools have turned into a weird mini police state, wherein some normal kid shenanigans - that should be handled by school administrators, by means of detentions and in-school suspensions - are now being handled by resource officers and the juvenile legal system. It’s madness and I hate it.

I think maybe what we really need to do is get tf out of America.
