Another grave problem we need to address.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I am getting really worried about the mental health of our children with all the bus cancellations, and no school days due to cold or storms. And, I heard on the news today, this is happening across the country too.

How is the school system going to continue the indoctrination of our kids about the hazards of global warming when they never make it to school due to cold? And worse yet, not only are they missing valuable hours of indoctrination about hazardous warmth due to the extreme cold, but it is coming at a critical time(late winter) when extraordinary indoctrination methods are typically required to counter the temptation to think that warm might just be preferable to perpetual cold. Combine that with the cold snap, and young minds which are already are extra susceptible to dangerous ideas may start using their powers of observation and deductive reasoning to potentially form an independent thought of their own are liable to draw some very incorrect conclusions about the serious consequences of dangerous global warming.

And even worse, many of these children while not attending their daily indoctrination lessons, will instead be exposed to other adults, such as parents or worse yet grandparents who may not have already been successfully indoctrinated due to the failure of the school system to prioritize global warming propaganda over reading riting and rithmatic in decades past. These adults may have businesses or jobs which require them to exist and function in these extreme cold temperatures, and in the presence of their children in their already fragile state, are likely to utter unflattering words about the cold, or even their desire for global warming to hurry up. These conflicting ideas could take weeks of work to drive out of young peoples minds once ( if) it ever warms up enough for them to return to their regularly scheduled indoctrination.

Please do your part, and if your kids are stuck at home from school and complaining that it is too cold to go out and play, make sure they watch An Inconvenient Truth over and over, perhaps interspersed with reruns of the Nature of Things, or at least listen to the CBC, and speeches by Alexandria Occasional Cortex.

Ain’t that the truth! The politics is getting in the way of the useless math they are learning - darnet.

Yeah im ok with the kids staying home. Especially when i get to see what they are studying in English class. What's your grade 10 reading?

[farmaholic]

AF5, you better get up to speed. They've already rebranded the narrative from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".

I wonder if home schooled kids can pass basic math tests using old math versus the new kind. Or if Climate Change is taught in the "Science" or "Social Studies" subjects of a home school curriculum, or if it's even in a home schooled curriculum at all.

[blackpowder]

My hair gets blown back when I see them doing fractions and counting their knuckles and fingertips.
Times tables?? Hell no. WTF??
Hired a high school kid last summer who had to 'count his circles' instead of doing basic single and double digit multiplication.
Had a teacher tell me 'spelling doesn't matter'.

The bus cancellation thing is getting old. Way overdone. I drive them so they can do extra school work.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I am pleased to report that a fellow member of Agriville, having read about the plight of the children, has offered a solution.

If school is cancelled on account of cold again tomorrow, Uncle Chuckchuck has generously offered to host a reading for all the deprived school children, from his own personal "bible". That's right, he has a genuine first edition signed hard cover copy of An Inconvenient Truth. Children of climate sinners and true believers alike are welcome, and none will be discriminated against, unless of course they arrive driving anything other than an electric car or horse and sleigh.

He has assured us of a lesson full of fire and brimstone, scary fairy tales, and dire predictions about the near past, delivered with over the top emotional exaggeration, exceeded only by the true master Goracle himself, sure to scare the kids straight, oops, sorry, can't do that nowadays, sure to scare them back into fearing the evil CO2 demon.

Refreshments to follow, hot chocolate of course on account of the inclimate weather, well, actually warm chocolate, er, warming chocolate, eventually at least, for now it is just cold chocolate, but you just wait, it will get warmer soon enough, probably get too warm, probably get burnt just trying to drink it, if it doesn't boil away first, but not yet, maybe 12 years from now. Made with locally sourced, fair trade, organic, fat free, sugar free, gluten free, flavour free genuine Saskatchewan cocoa beans. Or at least it will be once we get enough global warming to grow them, which will happen really soon, he promises. Well, OK, actually for now the refreshments are just cold water, but if you use your imagination, maybe tamper with the thermometer and the temperature record long enough, and wish really hard, you can pretend it is hot chocolate already.

Please bring your own candles, as the solar panels aren't quite keeping up on account of the large quantity of white global warming which keeps falling on them, and blowing into drifts and burying them.

Attendees are also recommended to wear extra sweaters and bring blankets, since no CO2 emitting fossil fuels will be harmed in the making of this reading session so there will be no heat in the house.

To prove how generous is the offer, all that he asks in return is that everyone bring a snow shovel, to spend a few hours helping to dig the global warming off of the solar panels so that he can show all the children what virtue signalling truly looks like, once they find them.

PS. If anyone has any big solar powered flashlights, please bring them along, with enough of them, we may just be able to get enough power out of the panels to allow for some special effects (light and sound) to go along with the book reading for full effect.

No, I'm afraid we are both way behind the times. The narrative has changed multiple times since then, as nature keeps refusing to do what it is supposed to do.


I can't speak to the home school curriculum, but in regular school, is creeps into every course, regardless of relevancy. It should of course be taught in literature class, along with all the other fictional works of art, it does have a lot of value as an educational tool, if you analyse it rationally.

[MBgrower]

there must have been 5 to 10 'snow or cold' days off school here already. i think its time we start extending the school year into july to start making up for all these holidays in the winter.

Snow days in saskatchewan
What a f&@king sick joke
Our parents walked to school , uphill, both ways , with no shoes for gods sake

[burnt]

In our part of Ontario, just east of lake Huron where whiteouts can pop up in about 10 seconds, there have been 18 snow days since the beginning of the year. That's about 1/2 time school. Some kind of record.

That is a direct result of all the amalgamations that have moved the centers of education out of the concessions and small towns and into bigger centers where the buses have to travel much further, carrying their load of kids as young as 4.

Sick, just sick.

You get rid of all the useless sports, music and arts classes and you can get those kids a shorter school year and out working full time on the rigs and in the fields by the time they are 12. Make the little bastard leeches productive again. Should be starting families by the time they are 14. Just like the good old days. Maybe bring back polio for some motivation.

[Sheepwheat]

Homeschoolers thankfully choose their own curriculum. None of ours uses new math, masturbation techniques, revisionist native history, we are on treaty land bs, or climate change garbage. We are thankful there are great options out there, and that the sask government gives us choice. I admit it is hard to pay taxes into a system we do not use, one that spends ten thousand plus per kid, while we get maybe 300 back, but it is what it is. Especially because our division gets money for their schools based on OUR kids existence!

Farmaholic, I have a ten year old who knows his times tables backwards and sideways that you could hire if you want. Knows how to work, too. My 14 year old fixed my tractor solenoid for me last week, soldered it up, he is an electrical wizard, and has more practical knowledge than most any multiple degree minds out there. Our kids have seen some of those who have no clue how to make change at the store, and they were appalled to see it. Lol

Each of my four kids run businesses on their own, some with multiple streams. Ages 10 to 15. I am more than a little proud of them. If they were in school, being limited and held back by the dumbest kids in class, admit it, that is the model these days, wasting 8 hours a day, their businesses would fail. Lol

Right now the push is on to finish school for the year in the next six weeks, because lambing time is coming! And their businesses fire up in May too, so we want them free to operate. So they have kicked it up a notch to more like 5 hours a day rather than the usual three. 😆

[6V53]

Its not that difficult,just turn the TV to CBC and take away the Channel Changer.

[blackpowder]

Truly jealous right now sheeple.
You are living the dream, man.

[tmyrfield]

AF5, you forgot:
Global cooling iceage (70s)
Nuclear winter (70s)
Ozone hole (80s)
Y2K (90s)

Sheepwheat, You probably don't drug your active boys to oblivion who can't sit still and listen to some feminist teacher tell the class all about toxic masculinity.

15544, polio and measles are making a big comeback where the millennials are having their baby and not vaccinating then letting in thousands from some 3rd world country who have never heard of vaccinations.

Also do not forget about women and native and trans studies, but this may fall under the more advanced university curriculum.
