@Cal4Justice Why ever the need to dive "into hard deadlines and core curriculum"? This model inevitably denies student consent. Forcing children to engage in educational activities against their will also results in psychological harm, thus violating California's #ChildAbuse law.
This back to school season the stakes are high. Young people are carrying the trauma from 18+ months of political turmoil, racist violence & the more personal grief of losing family or loved ones to COVID.

IF YOU’RE WORRIED about your kids spending too much time staring at screens because “virtual school” — then turn it off. Send them outside.
They’re YOUR CHILDREN. Not the state’s. PARENT THEM. Don’t collaborate with a system you believe is harming them.
Demand better.
@towhey Children are literally #borntolearn Sitting passively in front of a screen, without interest is NOT LEARNING. Brains learn thru’ play and curiosity. @towhey is right, send them out to play!
